michael_goolaerts_source_verandas_willems-crelan.jpgSector of Paris-Roubaix cobbles renamed after Michael Goolaerts
A sector of cobbles that features in Paris-Roubaix is to be renamed after Michael Goolaerts, the 23-year-old rider who lost his life there during the race in April.
Verandas Willems-Crelans rider, Goolaerts, was airlifted to hospital in Lille following a crash on the second of the 29 sectors of pavé used in the 257-kilometre race.
He passed away later that night with an autopsy later revealing that he had suffered cardiac arrest before the crash.
Belgium’s Radio 2 reports that the 3km long Viesly to Briastre three-star-rated stretch of cobbles will be officially named ‘Secteur Pavé Michael Goolaerts’ during a June 10 ceremony to which his family has been invited.
In addition to this, the organisers of the Fleche de Heist, a semi-professional Belgian race that will take place on June 2, have decided to rename their event "Fleche de Heist – Michael Goolaerts".
The event finishes in Heist-op-den-Berg, near Antwerp, where Goolaerts lived.
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.
Yeah because rendel hardly ever posts on anything at all on this site.
Exactly. Every road death is a tragedy but this is at the "twat deserved it" end of the spectrum, looking at the state of that car.
I'm not the editor of this article, nor indeed of anything on this website. One would have thought that didn't require explaining.
I think the answer is in your question. I genuinely didn't know he was married to her. It does kinda explain it. Disappointing, nevertheless.
What do we want?...
In a perfect world, we'd have a measure of how easily distracted someone is, as part of their driving test....
These products are nothing but ridiculously expensive and superfluous, and they bring nothing but bragging rights....
Of course they are, and not so different. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09B662CDN?crid=34M42BETAMFT0&th=1 The bugger's got four versions up now!
At least the van driver was nowhere near the stationary cyclist.
The BMX racers are also no longer being supported. Kye Whyte said he's lost his GT sponsorship. It also looks like GT will no longer make BMX bikes.
