Swiss rider Gino Maeder has died from the injuries he sustained when he plunged into a ravine during the Tour de Suisse on Thursday.

The 26-year-old Team Bahrain Victorious rider was involved in a high-speed crash with American Magnus Sheffield on the descent of the Albula Pass and fell into a ravine during Stage 6.

Mader had been found “motionless in the water” according to a race statement, before being resuscitated by race doctors at the scene and airlifted to hospital in Chur.

However, Mader lost his fight for life on Friday morning. I can’t believe what I’m reading. Such a sad sad day. Thoughts with everyone who knew and loved Gino.
