Really sad.Tragedy for this family.
It wasn't surprise when Sky and others was waiting for him when he crashed on the course on Tuesday. Very positive, likeable man.

 

[Jagartrott]

Very, very shocked to read this.

Awful news, always liked seeing Scarponi ride. Condolences to his family

 

[WheelofGear]

Horrible news. I was just liking a photo with him playing with his twins on Twitter yesterday.

A great man and great cyclist. RIP.

Absolutely horrific and shocking, completely out of the blue. Michele, you were an inspiration to many, and will be sorely missed.

RIP

Wtf, still relatively young with a family and dying in a stupid accident... I'm speechless.

Riposare in pace Scarponi.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Took my breathe away for a while. Terrible.

 

[nilfen]

Cant fathom this - my thoughts are with his friends and family. I'll raise a glass tonight, to one of the most likeable riders in the peleton and mourn his passing :-(

 

[RedheadDane]

It's... just... no!

 

[claude cat]

Terrible, terrible news.

Condolences to his family.
This really does make you feel like not taking up cycling.

So very, very sad, difficult to comprehend how his family, friends and teammates must be feeling.

Unbelievable, RIP Michele.

 

[Tour_de_Calvados]

Can't believe this, such a sad loss. Just saw him take a fine stage win in Tour of the Alps the other day. Recall him riding his heart out for Nibali in the Giro last year. RIP Michele.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Horrible news, of the kind that it is so horrible that you do a double take and ask again, really? No that cannot be true....

Leaving behind a young family....truly tragic

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Such sad news. Just saw the picture of him with his two boys playing around from yesterday. It's heartbreaking.
