Team pays tribute to cyclist who died in Gent-Wevelgem race (The Associated Press)
The Wanty-Gobert team has paid tribute to cyclist Antoine Demoitie who died after an accident during Sunday’s stage of the Genk-Wevelgem classic. The team confirmed the death early Monday, posting a black-and-white photograph of the 25-year-old Belgian cyclist with the text ”Antoine Demoitie 1990-2016” on its official Twitter and Facebook pages. Demoitie was among several competitors involved in a fall in the one-day race – won by world champion Peter Sagan – and local media reported he was struck by a motorbike.
