Same, though respecting the request to not try to name this rider until friends and family have been informed.

 

[ladyt25]

Yes, definitely the best decision.

News here (NZ) this morning say it's a Kiwi. Everyone is holding their breath.

Just named as Tom Gadsby who was competing in CIC. Apparently rotational fall.

Desperately sad. Life without risk, is no life at all - RIP Tom - you did what you loved. Such a sad end for someone so young.

I think the Kiwi news site has pulled the story. Expect this thread to disappear soon

The news site has edited the story, to not include his name... but has left it in the address for the web page. A *headbangwall* smiley would be appropriate.

So so sad, thoughts to all his family and connections
