Kevin Geniets suffers fractured wrist after crash on the final stage of Paris-Nice
CyclingWednesday, 13 March 2024 at 13:00
After he crashed on the final stage of Paris-Nice and abandoned the race on Sunday, Groupama-FDJ have confirmed that Kevin Geniets has suffered a fractured wrist and will be out of action for an unknown period of time.
Geniets fell on the descent of the Côte de Châteauneuf with around 65km to go in a crash that also involved Carlos Rodríguez and Santiago Buitrago. The Colombian rider also abandoned the race after he had already hit the deck earlier in the week.
The Luxembourger had a strong start to the season, winning the Grand Prix La Marseillaise in his opening race. Now forced to sit on the sidelines for what will probably be a few weeks, Geniets will likely miss several Classics races, where he would have played an important role for his French team. This will also disrupt his preparation for some of the bigger races later in the season, which could possibly hinder his chances of selection.

- 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
