road.cc newsFormer Euskadi rider Agustin Sagasti found dead in suspected suicide
Former Euskadi rider Agustin Sagasti, who won the team its first ever victory during the 1994 Tour of the Basque Country, has been found dead at his home in what is being treated as an apparent suicide. The news comes just days after Belgian cyclist Dimitri De Fauw took his own life.
Sagasti had reportedly been struggling with depression for years after his career was ended in 1995 at the age of 23 following a collision with a car in the Tour of Valles Mineros that left him in a coma and requiring numerous operations. He later successfully sued the race organisers for failing to control traffic.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
