Groupama - FDJ's Lars van den Berg was a DNF at the 2024 Faun-Ardèche Classic on Saturday afternoon in France. Taking to X (Twitter), van den Berg has now explained the scary circumstances surrounding his crash.
"Yesterday during the race at Faun-Ardèche classic I became unwell which made me fell unconscious while riding my bike causing a crash directly after," the 25-year-old Dutchman reveals in his post. "The medical support of the race took great care of me and after was transported to the Valence hospital where I did some tests."
What brough on this sudden bout of unconsciousness is not yet known and is understandably, extremely concerning for van den Berg and his team. "Luckily I was free to go late in the evening. The medical experts of the team will now take charge of the following steps," he says. "What remains is a very scary experience, for me, my teammates and loved ones."
"To make clear, for the moment I feel well and look very optimistic towards the future," he concludes optimistically. "See you soon!!"

- 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
