I dragged myself to my wife downstairs, but I couldn&#8217;t speak; no sound came out of my mouth, so she took the initiative to call emergency services. The result was a month in the hospital, and the first few days weren&#8217;t easy at all&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now I&#8217;m doing better. I&#8217;ve regained my ability to walk, I ride a bike, I can stand, and I&#8217;m thrilled about it. When you have neurological problems, you never know if you&#8217;ll fully recover, but there&#8217;s progress every day, and I&#8217;m optimistic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Training resumes, but caution remains<\/p>\n<p>Robeet has already resumed cycling and hopes to return to competition for the spring classics, but his comeback will depend on how his recovery progresses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve gotten back on the bike and managed a 3-hour ride, which is encouraging. I hope to be back for the Flemish Classics, but we&#8217;ll see. It&#8217;s a long road ahead; just maintaining my line requires maximum concentration, and I&#8217;m not completely at ease on my bike. I still have quite a few apprehensions, especially when riding in a group, when drafting, or in corners&#8230; But it will come back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robeet also thanked his wife for being his biggest supporter throughout the process and revealed great news: the family is welcoming a new member! &#8220;My wife Louise is essential; she supported me a lot and helped me a lot while I was in the final stages of pregnancy. Today Ambre was born, we&#8217;re all back home, and that&#8217;s the most important thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cofidis rider Ludovic Robeet has spoken publicly about his recovery after suffering a stroke in September,\u00a0revealing he has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253689,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[109039,4985,125395,125394,125393,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-315711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cofidis","tag-cycling","tag-gp-de-montreal","tag-gp-de-quebec","tag-ludovic-robeet","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
