Belgian pro cyclist Frederiek Nolf dies during his sleep last night. He was competing in the 'Tour of Qatar', which is having its 5th stage today.
His team retires from the race, all other teams do a closed race; everyone stays together, no real racing.
Frederiek was turning 22 next week.
[:(]

Condolences obviously.....

But lets not jump the gun.
How sad that this is my first thought not genetics - however with cycling how many others will think the same?
Very sad.

I am a staunch defender of cycling and am still adamant that cycling is by far the cleanest sport and that the real difference between cycling and all other sports is that cycling catches its cheats. In this case though, I would be surprised if it turned out the kid wasn't using EPO. There have been many reports over the years of kids dieing in their sleep when their heart gave up on pumping round their thickened EPO enhanced blood. I hope I'm wrong because it would be sad to see it happening again.
Really sad though.
