Dan MyngheerPro cyclist suffers heart attack in Criterium International
A pro cyclist has been hospitalised after suffering a heart attack during the Criterium International in Porto-Vecchio, Corsica, yesterday.
During the latter part of Stage 2 of the race, 22-year-old Daan Myngheer, of Roubaix-Lille Metropole became unwell, before suffering a heart attack in the ambulance.
According to reports the Belgian fell behind the pack with 25km to go, before he collapsed on the road and was taken to hospital. Newspaper Het Nieuwsblad says he is still not out of danger.
Teammate Louis Verhelst told Het Nieuwsblad after the race: “He was not good.”
Michel Dernies, club sports director, said Myngheer collapsed on the side of the road, where he was resuscitated.
Manager Daniel Verbrackel said: “He was having a heart attack in the ambulance, and his heart stopped for several minutes. In the ambulance they spent almost an hour to get him stable.”
“The situation is serious, very serious,” Verbrackel said on Saturday. “He is not yet out of danger.”
While his condition did not worsen overnight, he is still in a serious condition in Ajaccio hospital.

I'm an off-road drop-bar rider, none of this applies to me! 😁
Explains alot.
A smartphone set to handsfree is always fully legal, especially when held in the hand...
I've had a pair of these (and, in fact, the full length ones) for a few years and they really are very good.
surely the police can do better that this? A woman almost died ffs...
Doesn't look like it'd keep mud/water out very well, I'll stick to my saddle bag with a plastic bag inside to keep my stuff together and dry.
The blessings from drivers take so very many forms - over to no-so-sleepy Haverhill... ...
