The cycling world mourns the loss of
Alexey Tsatevich today. The former Russian pro rider, member of Team Katusha, has passed away; the cause is unknown at this time.
Tsatevich was at the time of passing only 34 years old. The Russian classics rider turned pro in 2011 with Itera - Katusha, and in 2012 moved to the World Tour with the team's Elite program. He had a few moments of stardom within the peloton. Although he only had three pro wins to his record, he won at World Tour level at the 2016 Volta a Catalunya in Barcelona ahead of a then rather unknown Primoz Roglic.
Tsatevich won Le Samyn in 2013 and alongside that triumph he also won a stage at the Settimana Ciclista Lombarda. Tsatevich rode the Giro d'Italia twice, and in his final season as a pro rider in 2017 he moved to Gazprom-Rusvelo where he ended his career as a cyclist.
CyclingUpToDate would like to extend it's condolences to friends and family of Alexey.
