Jesus christ ! that just ruined my day. Young and talented. Sometimes life is cruel.
Kinda wish i never saw this. My condolences to her family.
The Focus XC Team rider fell during qualifying on Friday and was taken to Grenoble hospital, where she was put into intensive care. Kalvenhaar passed away on Saturday morning.
"I'm devastated to hear that the cycling family has lost one of its members at such a young age. Our deepest thoughts are with her family and friends," said UCI president Brian Cookson in a statement.
The 20-year-old Kalvenhaar was the reigning under 23 European Cyclo-cross champion and under 23 Dutch mountain bike champion. She is the only rider ever to have died due to an accident in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup.
Cyclingnews passes on our condolences to her family.
