SALZBURG - The Amade Radmarathon in Salzburg, Austria, was overshadowed by the deadly fall of a 48-year-old German participant. The accident happened on Sunday morning apparently without the involvement of other riders. The man crashed into a guide bar and died moments later of his head injuries. The emergency ambulance arrived at the tragic spot within five minutes but resuscitation attempts failed.
Around what must have been the same time, a 74-year-old participant in the Italian granfondo Le Nove Colli suffered a fatal heart failure on the Bertinoro, the first climb.
A black weekend in the cyclo circuit.
The two 176km long distances of the Amade race were decided in the sprint. Simon Schmidmayr narrowly defeated Slovenian Gaspar Svab, while Italian veteran Anna Corona, 46, was the better woman ahead of Andrea Hofbauer.
