Damn shame. Italian [cyclist dies](http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2005/jun05/jun15news3). He wasn’t a household name like Lance or Ulrich or Todd, but still, one of cycling’s well ranked and experienced riders with a career spanning from the mid 90’s.

From now on, when I’m feeling my heart squeezed inside my rib cage, I’m backing the hell off. :eek:
