Nils Allègre, for his part, wanted to “go see Cyprien last weekend” in rehabilitation in Lyon, without this being possible yet. “But on Tuesday when I woke up from my nap, I had the pleasant surprise of having a message from +Cyp+ asking me to call him, which I did immediately. He progresses, he takes a step forward every day, it lightens our hearts. We all think of him,” confided his teammate.
Matthieu Bailet, for his part, received “a little voice message” in which the skier from Dévoluy showed himself to be “happy with the progress” and “positive”. “Afterwards, to say that things are going well or not, it’s not for me to say, I’m not a doctor, but as a friend and group colleague, it made me happy to hear from him. news,” added Bailet.

But the convalescence promises to be long for the No 2 in the world in downhill last season: after his violent fall on December 27, he suffered from an “acute intracranial hematoma” and his skull had to be pierced with a “trephine hole” to drain the blood, according to the same source.
“We are talking in months, we are not at all about a recovery in weeks,” warned Stéphane Bulle at the beginning of January, confirming that the 30-year-old Haut-Alpin season was over.
“We are going to start allowing him to do things that everyone does, namely sit, eat, stand up,” he added, explaining that the objective was to allow Sarrazin to resume his career, but without guarantee after such an injury.
