Broken foot delays Kessiakoff debut

Fredrik Kessiakoff's debut for Team Barolworld has been postponed until 2007 after the Swede broke his foot during his last off-road race before switching to road competition.

The former MTB cross country medalist was expected to commence road racing with Team Barolworld during the closing races of 2006, starting with the Memorial Cimurri in Italy on September 30, but has been sidelined due to the injury.
