Two riders from the Norwegian Uno-X pro cycling were hospitalised recently after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning while indulging in a bit of pre-season team-building.
The riders – Anders Halland Johannessen and Jonas Iversby Hvideberg – had been karting with team-mates and staff near Copenhagen. They had spent several hours inside the venue without a break, which unfortunately had entailed breathing in a lot of exhaust fumes.
