“There has been quite an impact but fortunately, he is out of danger" - Positive update for Lennard Kämna after collision with car during training ride
Cycling
There was some worrying news on Wednesday as BORA - hansgrohe star, Lennard Kämna was rushed to hospital after being involved in a collision with a car during a training ride in Tenerife.
Although the 27-year-old German remains in hospital, BORA - hansgrohe's team boss Ralph Denk has given a reassuring and positive update to the three-time Grand Tour stage winner. "Lennard is fine, he can move everything," Denk explains in conversation with BILD. “There has been quite an impact but fortunately, he is out of danger."
Denk also shed more light on the actual incident that left Kamna lying in a hospital bed. “The accident was apparently not his fault. He collided with a car. According to my information this would have happened when turning," Denk says. "More information will be released today about his health and the course of the accident, after discussions with the police.”
Kamna was supposed to be preparing for a return to the Giro d'Italia, where he had hopes of another positive general classification performance although that may now be in doubt.

- 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.
