Biniam Girmay suffers concussion following Tour of Flanders crash
CyclingMonday, 03 April 2023 at 12:13
Biniam Girmay has had an underwhelming spring, but it has taken a turn for the worst yesterday at the Tour of Flanders. The Intermarché-Circus-Wanty leader was caught up in a crash where he violently went down. The team has confirmed that he suffered a concussion.
As the peloton fought for position before the Kanarieberg, an apparent touch of wheels at high speed between Girmay and Matej Mohoric saw both coming down, with Girmay rolling several times through the ground as other riders couldn't avoid a collision. The tough incident has caused no fractures, but after being accessed at a local hospital the Eritrean has been diagnosed with a concussion. It is uncertain if he will be able to take part in Paris-Roubaix this coming weekend.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
