Norwegian cyclist Andre Drege has died after a crash during the Tour of Austria.
Drege, 25, was riding for home-based Team Coop-Repsol on stage four of the race on Saturday when he lost control on a mountain descent.
Ineos Grenadiers rider Filippo Ganna won the race but podiums and presentations were cancelled.
Drege had enjoyed a successful season on the road, with several wins on his CV, and had been tipped for career on the professional tour.
On 15 April, Coop-Repsol had celebrated Drege’s impressive form, tweeting: “WHAT A START to the season we are having! Yesterday André Drege took his 7th UCI-win this season, and we are only in April.”
Tributes have been paid across the sport following the news of his passing.
