From his hospital room in Ancona, Mario Cipollini updates his fans on the new setback linked to his heart problems. The former Tuscan champion, hospitalized again after reports of the cardiac loop implanted a year ago, explains that doctors are evaluating the possibility of a subcutaneous defibrillator. “My heart continues to act up, they’ll see how to intervene. I hope I don’t need a defibrillator, but I completely rely on the team that follows me”, he says calmly. Many messages of encouragement under the video published on Instagram, including that of Jovanotti: “Come on champion!”. Cipollini reassures everyone: “I’ll keep you updated. Life is this: you move forward, without ever giving up. Of course, I would prefer a climb of the Lucchesia… but now I’m here.”
