Tour de Suisse riders pay tribute to Gino Mäder after his death – video
Tour de Suisse riders have payed tribute to the Swiss cyclist Gino Mäder after the cyclist died from injuries sustained in a high-speed crash on the descent of the Albula Pass on Thursday. Mäder went off the road and fell into a ravine on the day’s final descent into La Punt in south-eastern Switzerland.
Mäder was found unconscious in water and resuscitated at the scene by medical staff, before being airlifted to Chur hospital but died as a result of his injuries. His team, Bahrain-Victorious, announced the news on Friday morning. The day's planned stage was cancelled with a 20km ride taking place instead. Mäder's teammates crossed the finish line together, with the peloton following in behind.
