Young woman was taken to hospital after being involved in a rider-spectator crash at Tour of Flanders
Cycling
The nervousness in the peloton during the Tour of Flanders was enormous for a while. This caused a crash on the Hotond. Some riders crashed, but the biggest victim was a young woman along the road. She came into serious contact with one or more riders and had to be taken care of.
In the meantime, the spectator has been taken to the hospital in Ronse and is said to be conscious. After a while the positive news came that the woman was out of danger, Het Nieuwsblad reports.
The crash at the Hotond was not the only one in which the public was involved, because a little later there was another fall on a wide road where the public was close to the riders. Cees Bol hooked into a spectator, fell and took Brent Van Moer, Stefan Küng and Alessandro Covi with him in his crash. The UAE Team Emirates, suspecting a broken collarbone.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- 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
