Swiss cyclist Gino Mäder was resuscitated after falling into a ravine during stage five of the Tour de Suisse
Almost 200 kilometers into the race, the 26-year-old Mäder crashed at high speed with American rider Magnus Sheffield, race organizers said in a statement on Thursday. They were descending the Albula Pass towards La Punt, where the stage ended. “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,” Bahrain Victorious said in a statement.
“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.” In a statement, the Tour de Suisse said it was “heartbroken,” paying tribute to an “excellent rider” and “wonderful person.” Sheffield, 21, who rides for Ineos Grenadiers, was found responsive with bruises and a concussion after the crash, race organizers said. He was transported to Samedan hospital.
