It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tijl De Decker, following a training accident past Wednesday.
The team is heartbroken by this news and sends all of its love and thoughts to Tijl’s family and loved ones in this incredibly difficult time ❤️
After intense consultation and delibaration between our riders and staff, and with the external advice of a trauma specialist, who emphasized the importance of the collective mourning process, the riders got the free choice to take the start. (1/2)
We guess heaven was needing a hero and that's what you are, dear Bjorg.
When the sun goes down, the stars come out and we know you'll be there, watching over us.
Sleep tight, Bjorg, our sparkling star in the sky ♥️
