“I wanted to win for Gino, everyone today raced for him”: Mattias Skjelmose dedicates Tour de Suisse victory to “wonderful” Gino Mäder “I wanted to give something back to him because he gave so much to a lot of other people” cycling
Aside from the brief burst of sporting action this afternoon, the race since then – which continued with the blessing of the Bahrain-Victorious rider’s family – was one long, hazy mournful procession, the shockwaves of Mäder’s death felt not just by his loved ones or the Tour de Suisse peloton, but the entire cycling community.
“I wanted to win for Gino, I think everyone today raced for him. I wanted to give something back. Everyone I spoke to said he was the most wonderful person you could ever imagine. And, combined with his obvious, blistering, promising talent on a bicycle, it’s that impact on other people and the world around him that will provide Mäder with perhaps his most enduring legacy.
In a sport where others turn a blind eye to the ever more obvious effects of climate change, Mäder proved a wonderful ambassador for cycling’s green consciousness.
