Friday in Brazil the Alma cyclist Léandre Bouchard found himself in the hospital after having suffered a nasty fall which he suffered during training. This forces him to forfeit this mountain bike world cup event, which is being held on Sunday.
“Hello world. I wanted to give you some news since on Friday, I suffered a nasty crash at high speed during Xcc practice. After a stay in the hospital, I am back on my two legs and I am better, ”explained the cyclist in a press release issued on social networks.
The sportsman fell at more than 50km / h. “I had a long loss of consciousness, a good impact in the middle of the back and the shoulder. Probably more fear than harm, because apparently, I have nothing broken, but it remains to be validated in Quebec, ”he added.
He thus confirmed his non-participation for the start of the XCO on Sunday.
“I thank Samuel and Catherine, my remote doctors and my team for the comfort on site. Send your energy to @victor_verreault who will experience his first Elite World Cup! »
