Antoine Demoitié (BEL) of Wanty-Groupe Gobert is today's victim in Gent-Wevelgem and according to his team he is in "extremely serious" condition in the intensive care unit. Another Belgian cyclist has even already said "RIP Antoine" on Twitter, suggesting he has died...so far his team hasn't confirmed that.. this is terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye witnesses apparently said Demoitié fell and then got hit by a motorbike who couldn't avoid him anymore. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Belgian media announced his death a while ago, but that was just based on the other cyclist (David Boucher). After that, his team wrote a tweet saying he is in "serious condition".

OlympicIRL 4,756 Posted March 27, 2016 #46 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) This source seems to be suggesting it has been confirmed by some family members.... http://www.cyclismactu.net/news-carnet-noir-antoine-demoitie-decede-sur-gand-wevelgem-57518.html Until it's officially announced, I'm hoping beyond hope that it won't be true.

heywoodu 13,503 Posted March 27, 2016 #48 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Apart from the official team account, I would only really trust this one: https://twitter.com/TourDeJose/with_replies She's their press officer and is of course well informed in this case.

I have seen both the twitter and facebook posts, and am not surprised that belgian media has seen it, but it seems like the cycling sites haven't seen it.
