Alessandra Keller begins her rehabilitation
The Thomus Maxon team has reported that Alessandra Keller underwent surgery on Tuesday, October 22 for her right cruciate ligament. An injury that the Swiss cyclist had been carrying since she fell during a training session at the 2018 Lenzerheide World Championships, but which did not prevent her from winning the under-23 gold medal just a few days later.
Since then, Keller has been treating this injury conservatively and waited for this Olympic cycle to end in Paris to undergo surgery and start a new one until Los Angeles 2028. The operation has been successful and 3 days later she has already started her rehabilitation.
