French professional cyclist Ronan Augé, competing for the Unibet Rose Rockets, was placed in an induced coma following a severe crash during the sixth stage of the Tour de Langkawi in Malaysia. The accident occurred during a descent at approximately 70 km/h when Augé struck a lamp post.

His injuries include multiple fractures to his tibia, femur, elbow, ribs, fingers, skull, and cervical vertebrae (C6 and C7), as well as a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) and a traumatic brain injury. Additionally, Augé reported damage to his facial nerve, resulting in paralysis affecting his face.

After spending two weeks in a Kuala Lumpur hospital, Augé was repatriated to Bordeaux, France, via a specialized medical flight through Singapore. The flight involved traveling on a stretcher accompanied by medical staff. Upon his arrival in France, he began a series of medical examinations to assess his neurological and structural injuries. Augé faces a long rehabilitation process to recover from the extensive physical trauma.
