Ronan Augé has spoken out a few days after waking from an induced coma. The Frenchman suffered a heavy crash during the Tour de Langkawi and was subsequently placed in an induced coma.

More positive news regarding Ronan Augé. During the sixth stage of the Tour de Langkawi, the Unibet Rose Rockets rider was taken to the hospital with severe injuries. Doctors placed him in an induced coma there. The day after the accident, the Frenchman woke from the coma and was able to move his arms and legs and communicate.

On Friday, the 22-year-old cyclist spoke out about the events for the first time. "It is hard to find the words to describe what has happened over the past few days," he wrote on Instagram. "A few days ago, my life changed completely. After a crash, spending several days in a coma, and waking up in a hospital in Kuala Lumpur (the capital of Malaysia), I am slowly beginning to realize what I have been through."

Augé’s injuries are severe. "Almost seven fractures," he noted. "My shin, elbow, neck vertebrae, ribs, fingers, and skull; a collapsed lung; partial paralysis of my jaw... And so much more that I have to overcome now. But despite everything, I have never been so happy to be alive."

Augé remains in the hospital in the Malaysian capital and faces a long recovery. "One thing is certain: I am not giving up on my dreams," he writes. "I promise to give everything I have, to fight every day, and never stop believing."

In his message, the rider thanks his team—the Unibet Rose Rockets—the medical team that treated him, and everyone who has supported him. "I thank you all. I have received thousands of messages and read every single one. Your words have touched me more than you can imagine and given me so much strength."

"Right now, my greatest victory is simply being alive. The road ahead will be long, but my story isn't over yet. I never give up," he concludes.

Trading 6th for 5th. 📈

⬆️ Eivind moves into 5th in GC after today, taking over from Cedrik.

The legs weren’t quite there for Cedrik on the final climb. With mostly sprint stages ahead, this could very well be our final GC position. 🧐

Now we just hope Eivind is ready for all the media attention. 🎤😅 (last slide with video on the instagram post)
