Update - April 7
Lennard Kämna's recovery has developed positively over the past few days. The 27-year-old has improved so much that he was able to leave the intensive care unit. A doctor from the medical team of BORA - hansgrohe saw him to obtain an impression of his condition on site. He is stable and has therefore already been transferred to the normal ward of the hospital on Tenerife. His injuries, particularly in the chest area (severe chest trauma with rib fractures and lung contusion), will continue to be treated there.
Ralph Denk, Team Manager BORA - hansgrohe: “Lennard has taken a huge step forward. The fact that he can now be transferred to the normal ward is very good news. I would like to thank the medical team on Tenerife and our Medical Department for their great efforts over the last few days. We wish Lennard continued strength for a speedy recovery.”
