Thymen Arensman rushed into ambulance with heatstroke symptoms after finishing stage 7 of the Vuelta a Espana

The heat has been absolutely blistering at the 2024 Vuelta a Espana over the course of the first 7 stages, with a number of riders beginning to feel the affects. On stage 7, one of those was the INEOS Grenadiers' Thymen Arensman.
A former top 5 finisher at the Spanish Grand Tour, Arensman surprisingly lost more than a minute on stage 7, dropping out of contention early on the day's only climb. After battling hard to cross the line however, the Dutchman was reportedly rushed into the back of an ambulance suffering from symptoms of heatstroke according to Eurosport.
Although he thankfully was not needed to go to hospital for further medical examination, the news is sure to further heighten the concern for riders safety as temperatures continue to flirt with the 40 degree Celsius mark in Spain. Our best wishes go to Thymen Arensman

- 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
