Frenchman Thibault Guernalec , representing Arkéa B&B Hotels, was involved in a serious road accident while training on the roads of Lamballe , in the Côtes d'Armor department.

Guernalec was cycling during training when he collided with an oncoming car. The exact circumstances are still under investigation, but the impact was so violent that he fainted instantly. He was rescued and rushed to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with a concussion , a fractured lumbar vertebra , and a broken finger . Despite the severity of his injuries, the rider has regained consciousness and is showing initial signs of improvement.

The matter takes on even greater weight considering the particular moment in Guernalec's career: the Arkéa B&B Hotels team will end its activity at the end of 2025, leaving the Frenchman without a contract for the following season.

In recent weeks, rumours have been circulating regarding a possible interest from TotalEnergies , but to date no confirmation has been received.
