Tyler Farrar’s recovery from a shoulder injury is on track and he’s expecting to return to racing next month at the Tour de Romandie.
The Garmin-Slipstream sprinter ? who beat back Mark Cavendish in a stage victory at Tirreno-Adriatico in mid-March ? crashed during Milan-San Remo and suffered an AC separation in his right shoulder.
No surgery was required, but the injury kept Farrar out of the northern classics this year.
“It looks like my first race back will be Tour of Romandie,” Farrar told VeloNews by e-mail. “Then if everything goes to plan, I’ll do the Giro.”
If Farrar races the Giro in May, it will mark his first grand tour of his professional career.
