On Thursday afternoon, cycling hero and former professional cyclist Ludo Dierckxsens (60) unexpectedly died while he participated in the 1,000 km for Kom op tegen Kanker. He was one of the road captains, which makes his suddenly go very difficult. Also with former Belgian goalkeeper and friend Geert De Vlieger (53) the news hit like a bomb. “The sun is there, but it’s different today.”
