Cycling remembers ‘exceptional’ Gino Mader after death at the Tour de Suisse

Cycling has paid tribute to Swiss rider Gino Mader, who died at the age of 26 on Friday as the result of injuries suffered in a crash at the Tour de Suisse a day earlier.

Mader was involved in a high-speed crash on the descent of the Albula Pass, late on stage five of the race along with American Magnus Sheffield, with both riders falling into a ravine.

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.
