Gino Mäder Mourning Suisse

Cycling: The race organizers have neutralized the sixth stage of the Tour de Suisse. After the fatal racing accident, today is dedicated to the deceased Gino Mäder.

In Memory of Gino Maeder

The fifth stage of the Tour de Suisse was to be the last race in Gino Mäder's life. At the young age of just 26, the Swiss professional cyclist died far too early. When he went down the Albula Pass at over 90 km/h yesterday, he fell with Magnus Sheffield. They fall down a slope. Gino Mäder landed on a stone floor and had to be resuscitated immediately. He was then taken to the hospital. He passed away this Friday. The organizers of the Tour de Suisse, together with the teams and riders, then decided to neutralize today's sixth stage. The drivers covered 30 kilometers to the destination of Oberwil-Lieli in honor of the late Gino Mäder.

Loyal noble helper with own victories and great character

Gino Mäder leaves behind a family, friends and numerous work colleagues who have always described him as cheerful, friendly and loyal. In his young and far too short career, the Swiss celebrated seven victories. He achieved his greatest successes in 2021 when he won both a stage in the Giro d'Italia and a section of the Tour de Suisse. In the same season he finished the Vuelta a Espana in fifth place overall. In 2022 he finished second overall in the Tour de Romandie, this year he finished fifth in Paris – Nice. However, Gino Mäder will not be missing from cycling because of his great successes, but because of his authentic and always cheerful character.
