The cycling world is in mourning today after the heartbreaking news of Gino Mäder's tragic passing. As the news broke after stage 3 of the Tour of Slovenia was already well underway, the day's big winner Ide Schelling was unaware.
The BORA - hansgrohe man took victory from a reduced bunch sprint after a late roundabout mishap ruled out a number of favourites, including race leader, Dylan Groenewegen. Understandably, the directors in the team cars didn't think it would be right to break the sad news to their riders whilst the race was ongoing.
After initially being overjoyed at his win, Schelling was quickly told of what had transpired in Switzerland. "I'm not really in the mood to give an interview. These tears are not tears of joy, but tears of sorrow for Gino. All joy is immediately gone,” said a distraught Schelling.

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024

- Yes, thank you Maria. He has a fractured skull but no pain or sequels and there should be no consequences after the small bump deflates. If anything, he is more likely to get something from the radiation he received when they “investigated” for abuse, CT scan, MRI, a dozen x-rays and he will have to have a follow up scan too. But as said, all due to childbirth, if we hadn’t noticed or worried and not taken him to emergencies, he’d have had no tests at all and instead of one to check the fracture wasn’t serious he got far more :-(Mistermaumau24-11-2024
- Obviously there is the question of enormous willpower but some injuries are extremely specific. A torn meniscus for example can function pretty well during cycling whilst making it close to impossible to go up or down stairs or walk normally.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
- First of all, I hope now all is ok with your baby!. Yeah, about to not accept foreign phone number is a big problem also for me. I have economic interests in 2 countries, I think that all can be ok with my Italian number... but NO! The world is globalized but not for bureaucracies.
