A cycling star has died suddenly in his sleep just days after winning a national title. Rab Wardell was just 37 when he passed away.
On Monday night he appeared on television after winning the elite men's title at the Scottish mountain biking championships. And on the show he joked how the event had been a 'bit of a disaster' after facing three punctures but still going on to take the top spot, reports The Mirror.
His death has been confirmed by the Scottish Cross Country Association which paid tribute to the star. Sending condolences to Rab's family they praised the mountain biker as an "inspiration".
