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.

- Geraint Thomas has every right to make those comments, regardless of whether or how he lost the very same race, and his comments are hardly 'destroying' Isaac del Torro. He was being critical of the tactics that del Torro and UAE chose to employ, just as countless others have, because they were terrible tactics. There was no malice or ill intention behind that criticism.
santiagobenites02-06-2025 - Nobody is destroying anybody over a simple loss. But it was Del Toro fault since he had the pink jersey and it was his responsibility. G is not a brilliant tactician either but what he is saying is true. Also the entire fault isnt Del Toro, its also UAE staff's fault. They should have advised him betterabstractengineer02-06-2025
- Oh, f**k off Rebecca.
KerisVroom02-06-2025 - Finally! Someone pointing out the oddity of UAE and EF not sending satellite riders to the front! Even if WvA wasn't there, it would always be a plus for both Del Toro and Carapaz to have a friend up front in their duel.gfraz02-06-2025
- Why? They've got a load of more experienced GC riders. Give him a rest. Not a cool idea dude...Domingo02-06-2025
- UAE should include Del Toro as a domestique for Pogacar at the Tour. After all, Simon Yates is also riding the Tour in support of Vingegaard.Cooldude02-06-2025
- Great analysis - what's the last word for me on this: UAE fell over on tactics and reaction, imagine if Pog gets ill or such like, who's going to step up ? they put all their eggs in his basket...
leedorney02-06-2025 - what did your 5 y.o child say when you lost a Giro because lost seconds changing and adjusting a helmet, Mr G.?
maria2024202402-06-2025 - I'n not a professional and I'm not destroying a 21 boy because took a bad decision. Mr. G. over 37 y.o. LOST A GIRO in the last stage for seconds! SECONDS THAT HE LOST CHANGING AND ADJUSTING A HELMET. He is the least that could say these kinds of phrases, destroying a boy at his first leader GC experience.maria2024202402-06-2025
- How many GTs have you ridden ! My quess is a big fat 0 ! Del Toro blew it and that can't be argued!frieders302-06-2025
