Slovenian cyclist Jaka Primozic was the only witness to the unfortunate death of Andre Drege in the Tour of Austria. The Norwegian rider was in the breakaway when he crashed on the descent of the Grossglocker and suffered fatal injuries.
The only witness to the fatal accident was the aforementioned 25-year-old Primozic, who, totally devastated, posted on his Instagram account a message regretting what happened and assuring that there is no one to blame:
"As the only witness I cannot explain how devastated I am. This should never have happened. No one was to blame for the fall. I would give anything to be able to change something so it wouldn't have happened. My thoughts are with his team and his family. Rest in peace, may cycling be good to you in heaven. I can't say I knew you, but we shared the same passion and I will carry you in my heart forever."
Yesterday was a very hard day for world cycling and especially for the Norwegian as demonstrated by the statements of Alexander Kristoff when he arrived at the finish line in the Tour de France. Drege was a more than promising cyclist who this year had achieved 7 partial victories that seemed to have opened the doors to the WorldTour in the Jayco AlUla team. Hours after the incident the cycling world, as it was in his day with Gino Mader, is completely shocked by the news.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
