aul Raisin is in drug-induced coma Thursday morning in a French hospital after his condition worsened overnight following his crash in Tuesday's first stage of the Circuit de la Sarthe.
The 23-year-old Georgia resident was transported to a hospital in Angers, France, on Tuesday and was conscious and alert Wednesday, but suffered a brain hemorrhage early Thursday morning, forcing doctors to induce a coma to stabilize his condition and reduce pressure on the brain.
"The big problem is with his head. He had fallen on his face, for that he had the hematoma," Crédit Agricole team manager Roger Legeay told VeloNews. "Nothing is broken, but he had a hematoma in the brain and he his now in a coma. We don't know what happened and now we are waiting at the hospital."
