Italian sprinter Sacha Modolo has revealed details of a hit-and-run incident he suffered while out training and how he farcically struggled to get police assistance to report the driver.
Modolo, who will ride for EF Education First-Drapac in 2018, revealed he left home at 10:15 on Saturday morning and only returned home at 5:30 p.m. after spending several hours with police and then in hospital for a check up. He was not seriously hurt but suffered a blow to his back and was left frustrated by the whole event.
"Fortunately I'll 'get away with' just a strong blow to my back," he wrote on his Facebook page.

Modolo explained that he was hit from behind while stopped at a traffic light.
"He didn't see me or wanted to go through on red (though I'm not really sure what he wanted to do). He pulled down his window and just laughed. The passenger then got out and minimised what had happened sarcastically saying 'it's only a bike and nothing happened to you'," Modolo said.
"I realised that I wouldn't have got anywhere with them, so I took a photo of the vehicle, saying I'd report them to the police. The driver took off at that point.”
