Horrible story from Scotland. World Cup mountain biker Rab Wardell suffers a heart attack and dies just a day after winning the Scottish National Championships. At his side & unable to revive him was his partner, Olympic Gold Medallist Katie Archibald.

British Superbike rider Chrissy Rouse passed away aged 26 :cry:

He crashed last Sunday at Donington and got hit on the head by a rider behind him, who couldn't avoid him anymore. When I was watching I was already feeling rather uncomfortable with the fact that after the red flag, absolutely nothing was shown (which is not a good sign). Only info was the commentators saying it was probably Rouse, since the rest was still coming through on the split times towards pit lane.
