Not sure which Tour de France it was but I'll always remember Pantani
shipping his chain at the bottom of a climb and then passing everyone ahead
to win the stage.
Great performance and great TV. A sad loss indeed.

Belgian cyclist Johan Sermon has been found dead from apparent heart failure
in his sleep.
The death of the 21-year-old, an under-23 rider with the Daikin team,
emerged just hours after Italian cycling star Marco Pantani was also found
dead.

a professional athlete with apparent heart failure at the age of 23

That'd make him about number six, or so over the course of the las
year. Doesn't it strike you guys as a bit odd that arguably the fittes
of all pro athletes (cyclists) aged in their 20's have been droppin
off. is there s.t. un-natural going on here, i.e. performance enhancin
drugs or am i missing somethin
