The Swiss cyclist Gino Mäder, a former Giro d’Italia stage winner, has died at the age of 26 after crashing into a ravine at the Tour de Suisse on Thursday.
The Bahrain Victorious rider was airlifted to a hospital in Chur after being resuscitated by medical staff, having left the road on the Albula Pass as the race descended to La Punt during the fifth stage. The American Magnus Sheffield, of Ineos Grenadiers, was also involved and taken to hospital with concussion.
