Terrible news.
One of the most liked and respected riders in the peloton. So sad that just 5 days ago he bought home two Tour of the Alps (ex-Giro del Trentino) leaders jerseys, for his two twin sons, and had also just been named Astana captain for the Giro.

Training with Frankje, his pet parrot.

R.I.P.

My heart goes out to the family, tragic. Seems like this is happening all too often lately.

So sad. And the picture of him with his 2 kids: heartbreaking. Painful.

Very sad. It seems like reports if cyclist on the road killed or injured is an everyday occurrence.
