thanks for sharing this Flash, and horrible news.

Thoughts and prayers for Bjorg's family, friends, and Lotto Soudal.

When Eurosport's Rob Hatch said Lambrecht had been taken to the "reanimation center" you knew it wasn't going to be good.

Very sad indeed.

huge loss, a rider with lots of potential and raw talent.

The timing is a bit surreal. The day before it happened, I was watching a youtube video of the final day mountain top finish at the 2017 Tour de l'Avenir, where Bjørg Lambrecht was doing an epic battle with none other than the newly crowned Tour de France winner Egan Bernal...
