कोशिश गोल्ड - मुक्त

Obituary - Hein Verbruggen 1941-2017

CYCLING WEEKLY

June 22,2017

Dutchman Hein Verbruggen, former president of the UCI and Olympic Committee member, died a fighter. The 75-year-old pushed cycling into its current modern WorldTour era and defended himself vigorously through scandals, but lost his battle with leukaemia on Tuesday evening, June 14.

- Gregor Brown

The UCI president from 1991 to 2005 remained in love with cycling, watching Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) battle Richie Porte (BMC Racing) and Chris Froome (Sky) in the final Critérium du Dauphiné stages over his last weekend.
