Dylan van Baarle's shoulder fracture heads up Paris-Roubaix injury report

By Daniel Ostanek published about 1 hour ago

2022 champion also suffered broken hand in Arenberg crash

 

After another brutal edition of Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, reigning champion Dylan van Baarle headed up the injury report after crashing out of the race on the five-star Trouée d'Arenberg.

 

The Dutchman, who soloed to victory last year, was among numerous riders to go down amid a spate of crashes on the most famous sector of the race. Van Baarle was listed in the race's official injury report as having suffered a 'cranial trauma' and 'forehead wound'.

However, after being checked over in Valenciennes hospital, Van Baarle was also diagnosed with a fracture in his hand as well as a fractured shoulder and is set to be out of action for some time as a result.

 

Peter Sagan, who was riding his final Paris-Roubaix as he prepares to retire from road racing at the end of the season, abandoned after getting caught in a mass crash on the second sector of cobbles from Viesly to Quiévy.

Following assessments at the side of the road, the 2018 winner left the race with a concussion and also suffered several wounds as a result of the crash.

 

Cofidis rider Piet Allegaert was also placed in cycling's concussion protocol after taking a blow to the head in the same crash.

Guillaume Van Keirsbulck (Bingoal WB) also suffered a blow to the head, listed as a 'disoriented head trauma' in the race injury list, while Sébastian Grignard (Lotto-Dstny) was another to suffer a head trauma in addition to left shoulder contusions.

Filippo Colombo (Q36.5) suffered a dislocated left shoulder, while Bahrain Victorious pair Dušan Rajovič (left knee wounds) and Matej Mohorič (forearm wound).

Their teammate Fred Wright was caught in the day's most dramatic crash, the Briton coming down hard on the Trouée d'Arenberg after his front tyre rolled off the rim. Multiple riders also fell in quick succession afterwards, including Van Baarle, Mohorič, and Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep).

Wright's condition hasn't yet been confirmed by his team, but the Bahrain co-leader was taken to a local hospital after abandoning the race in the famous forest.

The official injury list provides a glimpse into what went on during the five-and-a-half-hour race, with many more minor injuries and accidents not included in the document. As ever, the 2023 edition of Paris-Roubaix was another brutal one for the books.

Finalement le peloton s'en est bien tiré quand on pense à la vitesse à laquelle les coureurs sont passés sur les pavés.
Le bilan aurait bien sûr été bien pire sous la pluie.
Les commentateurs semblent surpris par la perf de Degenkolb, pas moi car j'avais vu qu'il était costaud ces dernières semaines.

Finalement, par rapport à d'autres éditions de P-R, celle-ci était moins une loterie que souvent. 
On regrette la crevaison de Van Aert à un moment crucial.

L'être humain est plein de contradictions : de moins en moins de tolérance sur les routes de tous les jours, "parce qu'un mort est un mort de trop", et des épreuves cyclistes particulièrement accidentogènes, "pour notre plus grand plaisir".

 

Notre vie aurait-elle la moindre valeur si nous ne risquions pas de la perdre ? 😇

Bjr,

Depuis que Paris Roubaix  existe c'est "malheureusement " tjs un bilan blessures qui en fait partie 

A+

[Bruno GUILLEVIC]

Et pas seulement des blessures, malheureusement en 2018  pour le jeune Michael Goolaerts de l'équipe Vérandas Willems de Nick Nuyens (déjà dans cette équipe le décès identique à 22 ans de Daan Myngheer en 2016). A noter que Vérandas Willems c'était l équipe de WVA, jusqu'en 2018 justement, date de la rupture de contrat par WVA.

En tout cas il n'y a plus une seule course où il n'y a pas de dégâts physiques chez les coureurs. Sans doute que la vitesse n'est pas étrangère à cette situation. Quand on voit les meilleurs, les plus habiles sur P-R , voler au-dessus des pavés c'est à se demander s'ils ne sont pas sur coussin d'air ! Impressionnant !!!
