“On Friday 16th June, following a very serious crash during stage 5 of the Tour de Suisse, Gino lost his battle to recover from the severe injuries he sustained. Our entire team is devastated by this tragic accident, and our thoughts and prayers are with Gino’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”
At the time of the crash, both cyclists were traveling in excess of 60 miles per hour according to data from Sheffield’s Strava account, per the New York Post. Sheffield was treated at a local hospital for a concussion and bruising.
Friday’s stage 6 was canceled, according to a report from the BBC, but the riders planned to finish the final 18 miles together in Mäder’s honor.
