Picnic PostNL coach Rudi Kemna is seriously injured in hospital after falling from a roof

59-year-old Kemna fell from a roof while working on a house and landed on a steel structure. He was hospitalized in critical condition but has since stabilized after a lengthy surgery to secure several vertebrae. The risk of paralysis has diminished, although he remains in the hospital. Recently, Kemna faced controversy regarding Picnic PostNL, accused of fostering a culture of fear. The team is also struggling, having secured only one victory this season and lacking a WorldTour license for the upcoming year.
