"He's still in the hospital in Tenerife, and we don't yet have a plan for how long he will have to stay" - Ralph Denk updates on the state of Lennard Kämna

Lennard Kämna may have narrowly escaped with his life in his serious training accident on Tenerife. Considering the severity of his injuries, the return of the German climber is currently not a priority for Ralph Denk, the manager of BORA - hansgrohe, he tells sportschau.de.
"If I look at the overall picture, then he was really lucky," said Denk. The first reports that reached Denk from the scene of the accident said that Kämna was in a really bad state. "I was really worried about him," Denk continued.
"He's doing well now given the circumstances, but it was a violent impact. His bike was completely destroyed," Denk revealed. "Lennard is now out of the intensive care unit, that's a good sign. But he's still in the hospital in Tenerife, and we don't yet have a plan for how long he will have to stay."
Kämna was originally scheduled to ride Giro d'Italia from the beginning of May, but now all plans are lost. "We on the team have a goal that we give him the best possible medical support and that he gets back to a normal life as quickly as possible," said Denk. "Only then will we think about cycling again."

- 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
