Ronan Augé returns to France

Ronan Augé has returned to France after being seriously injured in a fall during the sixth stage of the Tour de Langkawi in early October. The 22-year-old cyclist was placed in an artificial coma for several days before leaving Malaysia to continue his recovery.

Injury and recovery progress

Augé, a member of the Unibet Rose Rockets team, still suffers from partial facial paralysis, estimated at 50 percent, and hopes to regain full functionality. However, he does not yet know how long his recovery will take.

Humorous reflection on hospital stay

In a long message published on Instagram on Saturday, Augé humorously referred to his hospital stay as "Two weeks all-inclusive in a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur," which was not part of his original plans. He also emphasized the attention of the medical staff who cared for him during this period.

Personal reflections and challenges

His post, accompanied by numerous photos and videos, documents these two weeks spent in bed. Despite the bandages and casts that still limit his movements, Augé has not lost his sense of humor, joking that "A new career as a professional grimacer is now open to me."

Support from family and team

For now, his priority remains recovery before considering the future of his cycling career. Close to the Augé family, including Ronan and his father Stéphane, the entire Cyclism'Actu team sends its support, strength, and courage to Ronan during this challenge.
