Unfortunately Michael Goolaerts suffered a cardiac arrest during the Paris-Roubaix, and is fighting for his life.

Wishing all the best for this young man.

Update: Sadly he passed away.

Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
The lack of updates on his condition seems ominous :(

I'm hoping for good news soon! EDIT: But, no...Sad.

I wonder if the CA caused the crash, or the crash caused the CA?

Just cruel. A young man, fit, healthy, doing what he loved. With that in mind, harder for those he left behind than for him. Terribly sad.

From what I understand, the former.

Horrible. Do we know how he died? Any vehicles or spectators involved in the crash? This sport has taken too many casualties.

Haven't heard. I was wondering if he crashed because of the cardiac incident.
