My coach and I, together with the Federation and Fiamme Gialle, have decided to wait a few more days before racing after the European Championships. Obviously I’m sorry to miss an important event that I care a lot about, but the choice has the aim of arriving at the Olympics in the best possible shape. I wish good luck to all the athletes who will participate and I ask the public to follow the races and cheer as much as possible.”
