Very sad, horrible news. Reminds me of the tragedy of Julen Goikoetxea. Always a terrible thing to hear has happened.

I read that he was on his bike riding home from a party and was accidentally caught by a train, no suicide.

As a parent of 2 young children, the thought that a young man with the whole world ahead of him would do such a thing is terribly frightening. As perverse a comment as it may be, I hope it was a train accident...

God, that's horrible. :(

Was it really an accident or suicide?

Horrible news, either way. So sad, beyond words. He's a name I kept remembering since last year, and now this news... All thoughts for his family and people close to him.

Really, really horrible that this happened, but I imagine that for his family and friends there's a difference between an accident and suicide

Very sad for any rider to pass but he was such a talent by the sounds of it, RIP Igor.

Horrible. If not suicide, why would they jump to that conclusion so quickly? Being hit by a train on a bike certainly wouldn't equal suicide unless either strong evidence to that or very terrible reporting...

I would not be so sure about that. Suicide would mean he voluntarily - for whatever reason - put an end to his life. In this case, it was an accident. Igor, like most, wanted to live and that was taken away from him. Sad.

For his family and friends I think it's probably better that he didn't want to end his life. Knowing someone close to you was in such a situation that they felt death was their only way out is a difficult thing to take. Knowing that it could have been prevented makes the whole tragedy all the worse.

It's a matter of opinion though, and very sad no matter what.

Today was Men Junior‘s ITT WC race.

Maybe a day to remember a friendly young man who once had his biggest success in cycling on a day like today‘s…

A day to remember Belgium‘s Igor Decraene… Born nearly exactly four years before Remco - and Decraene apparently had already signed a contract with Quick-Step for his first year(s) in the U23 category.

Igor Decraene

Igor Decraene (born 1996-01-26 in Waregem, passed away 2014-08-30) was a road racing cyclist from Belgium, active between 2013 and 2014.

Just spend these two minutes to read whom he beat on the day of his biggest success; you‘ll find the result, the ranking, here:

World Championships MJ - ITT 2013 Time Trial results

World Championships MJ - ITT 2013 was won by Igor Decraene before Mathias Krigbaum and Zeke Mostov.

Everyone who‘s still riding at a professional level today is either outside the top 10 or Matt Gibson.

You know, if track is the same, equipment within the rules, weather not changing drastically during the race... it's the race of the truth. Top ten of the day are worthy group of athletes and others..go figure?! :rolleyes:
