did anyone notice that lately the tragedies come at package in cycling when they come?
wouter-tondo-soler injuries, demoitie-Myngheer-Stig injuries and now tilford-scarponi-chad young? tragic...

Too many deaths the past few years. Cycling is a dangerous sport... it's crazy to go out with just a helmet and some super light fabric, if you compare to similar sports..

Terrible news. Sad times for cycling.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Yes, it's like it happens on pairs. Wouter and Tondo dying days after each other (although Tondo wasn't directly due to cycling activity), Demoitié and Myngheer dying while on a race, Broeckx and Girdlestone seriously injured days apart and the two of them with a miraculous recovery and now Scarponi and Young.

RIP Chad Young, so young...

RIP Chad and his family, just 21 yr old. So soon after Scarponi. Another reality check of the dangers of this sport. Just tragic and sad.

Sorry for pulling this one up again...

The Chad William Young foundation (started by his family and the team) will fund research into the prevention of traumatic head injury in cycling, compassionate hospital care and two merit-based scholarships.
