There is sad news concerning American cyclist Saul Raisin (Credit Agricole), reports Jean-Francois Quenet from the Circuit de la Sarthe. Raisin is now in a coma at Angers hospital. It happened last night, some 30 hours after being admitted because of his crash with 2 km to go in stage 1 of the race. He has cerebral edema (swelling in the brain), and is in a serious condition.
Raisin's parents are on their way from America, and will be with him on Friday morning. Crédit Agricole team doctor Dr Ménard has left the Vuelta a Pais Vasco to assist him as well.
