27-year old Robbert de Greef  got unwell while chasing the peloton (after a flat tire) and crashed during today's Omloop van de Braakman in the south of the country, after which another rider couldn't avoid him. He received CPR, was evacuated to hospital by ambulance and is now in critical condition.

This morning a brain hemorrhage struck him (while still in artificial coma) and eventually killed him.

It's so small that even Pro Cycling Stats don't have this.

I know the World Tour, most ProContinental and quite a lot of Continental teams. Rabobank doesn't exist, but if you're living 10 years ago, you might have a point

The team is the same, no matter how many times they change the name.  It's the worst thing i hate in pro-cycling.
