Groupama FDJGroupama-FDJ U23 rider Samuele Manfredi out of induced coma he had been in for a month
Up-and-coming Italian cyclist Samuele Manfredi has woken up from the induced coma he was placed in after he was injured in a collision with a car last month.
The incident happened on December 10 while the 18-year-old was training near his home town of Pietra Ligure in Liguria.
Groupama-FDJ’s Under-23 team, which he had signed to ride for during 2019, posted on Twitter today: “We have good news to share with you!
“Yesterday, Samuele Manfredi woke up from the induced coma he was kept in after his accident on December 10.
“He is no longer in a life-threatening condition and will now start a long recovery process.”
The team added that the teenager’s family wished to express their thanks for all the messages of support they had received.
Last season, Manfredi won the junior edition of Gent Wevelgem and finished second at Paris-Roubaix Juniors. He is also the current European junior individual pursuit champion.

A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
