Sad News From Tucson

Chloe Black (Terry Bicycles) just sent us a brief note from Tucson, where the Tucson Bicycle Classic is taking place, to let us know that a Cat. 2 male racer was killed during their race. Obviously, this has severely affected the organization, and at this time there are no results for the second stage of this race. The rider apparently hit a car after crossing the yellow line on the descent from Gates Pass as he avoided another rider who had punctured. Our thoughts go out to the family and the friends of the rider.
