Da Froget a Myngheer, tutti i ciclisti morti in gara

Negli ultimi giorni il ciclismo è stato colpito da due lutti per la morte dei giovani ciclisti belgi Antoine Demoitié e Daan Myngheer, il primo caduto e travolto da una moto in occasione della classica Liegi-Bastogne-Liegi, il secondo in seguito ad una crisi cardiaca sopraggiunta durante il Critérium International, breve corda a tappe che si è svolta in Corsica. I nomi di Demoitié e Myngheer vanno così ad allungare la lista dei ciclisti deceduti a causa di incidenti o malori avuti in gara, nella quale figurano nomi noti come Serse Coppi, Joaquim Agostinho, Fabio Casartelli, Andrey Kiviliev, Isaac Gálvez o Wouter Weylandt, al pari di tanti altri che, indipendentemente dalla loro notorietà sportiva, in comune avevano la passione per il ciclismo.

“Ccà dinto,’o vvuo capi,ca simmo eguale?…
…Muorto si’tu e muorto so’ pur’io;
ognuno comme a ‘na’ato é tale e quale“.
A. De Curtis
