As the debate continued between Bettiol and the fan underneath Pidcock and Red Bull's video, the Astana star attempted to cast people's minds back to the 2023
Tour de Suisse in order to show just how dangerous the sport of cycling can be. "Cycling is already an extremely dangerous sport even without doing those kind of things," he explains. "Especially in those days when we, as professional cyclists, remember Gino Mader passed away 2 years ago."
The Swiss star tragically crashed on a pacey descent at the Tour de Suisse in 2023, and has been remembered by his Bahrain - Victorious teammates ever since thanks to the #RideforGino movement. Earlier this week, on the anniversary of his fatal crash, a monument to Mader was also revealed at the Tour de Suisse, making the timing of Red Bull and Pidcock's video launch all the more open to debate.
