Initially celebrating jubilantly after taking one of the biggest wins of his career at La Route d'Occitanie, Jason Tesson was quickly brought back down to earth after hearing about the heartbreaking news of Gino Mäder's tragic death.
"I learned just after the finish, and it's sad because, we ride bikes, we do our passion, it's our job and even if I didn't know him personally, it's scary," said the TotalEnergies rider in his post-stage interview. "It's still a sign that you have to be really careful, that it's just cycling and that a life doesn't replace it. another. It's really sad, all my condolences to his friends, his family, his whole team, there you go, I don't really know what to say... It's saddening this end of the day a little, that's for sure."
