Christ what terrible news RIP fella.

there must be some warning signs for these sudden heart attacks, it can’t just be one day the heart gives up.

40 is no age. Sad news indeed but makes you wonder if good fitness really helps that much or are we all just programmed to last so many years, no matter what ?

He moved to Caisse d’Epargne-Illes Balears in 2006 and remained with them until 2009, a year in which he had to take a break from racing due to cardiac arrhythmia, more commonly known as irregular heartbeat.

Damn! 😔
