Regis Laconi returned home last Thursday and after a medical check at the hospital, the French rider was given the all clear and will not have to undergo in-clinic rehabilitation and will be able to continue his recovery directly at home.
Physically he has fully recovered and is already back in training on an exercise bike and swimming, however his full recovery will include a lengthy convalescence to ensure that the hematoma he suffered in the crash has been completely absorbed.
Laconi’s speech is back to normal as his friend Paul-Louis Collignon reported last week and his medium to long-term memory is gradually returning.
Laconi has expressed a desire to return to racing, while he was still in the hospital in Johannesburg, but the rider will have to undergo after his full recovery, medical and sporting authorities evaluation and approval.
The French rider is reported to have not lost any of his humour and has been visited by his crewchief and friends.
