The Swiss rider Gino M\u00e4der died Friday after he crashed and fell into a ravine on a high-speed descent during Thursday\u2019s stage 5 of the Tour de Suisse. The Team Bahrain Victorious rider was 26 years old. The crash occurred on the steep and sinuous descent from the Albula Pass, where the speeds of the riders approached 100 kph. The crash also involved the American cyclist Magnus Sheffield (Ineos Grenadiers), who was taken to hospital suffering from a concussion and soft tissue injuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Immediately after the conclusion of Thursday\u2019s stage 5, the reigning UCI world road race champion Remco Evenepoel had criticized race organizers for including the descent in the stage. Taking to Twitter, Evenepoel wrote<\/a>, \u201cI hope that the final of today’s stage is food for thought for both cycling organizers as well as ourselves as riders. While a summit finish would have been perfectly possible, it wasn\u2019t a good decision to let us finish down this dangerous descent. As riders, we should also think about the risks we take going down a mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Soudal\u2013Quick-Step leader tweeted<\/a>: \u201cGino, thank you for the light, the joy, and the laughs you brought us all, we will miss you as a rider and as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur entire team is devastated by this tragic accident, and our thoughts and prayers are with Gino\u2019s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,\u201d Bahrain Victorious said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cGino was an extraordinary athlete, an example of determination, a valued member of our team and the whole cycling community. His talent, dedication, and passion for the sport has inspired us all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team also said that M\u00e4der had to be resuscitated at the scene of the accident by medical staff, who also performed CPR, before he was airlifted to a nearby hospital. \u201cDespite the best efforts of the phenomenal staff at Chur hospital, Gino couldn\u2019t make it through this, his final and biggest challenge, and at 11:30am we said goodbye to one of the shining lights of our team,\u201d the team statement declared.<\/p>\n

M\u00e4der had been a professional road cyclist since 2019. In his brief career he won a stage of the Giro d\u2019Italia in 2021 and won the young rider\u2019s jersey at the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a<\/a> the same year. In 2022, he finished second in the Tour de Romandie and this year finished fifth in the eight-day Paris-Nice. At the 2021 Vuelta, M\u00e4der pledged to donate to charity \u20ac10 for every rider he beat in the general classification as well as \u20ac1 for every rider he beat on each stage. That turned out to be a total of \u20ac4,529, which he donated to the Dutch environmental organization JustDiggit.<\/p>\n

In a statement published on Twitter<\/a>, race organizers said that the last 20km of Fridays stage 6 would not be competitive but instead would be ridden in M\u00e4der\u2019s memory. Above a photo of the smiling Swiss rider, the tweet read, \u201cThis is how we will always remember you. With a big smile on your face! The peloton will ride the last 20 kilometers of today\u2019s course neutralized in honor of Gino M\u00e4der.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
