"What was supposed to be a celebratory day at the 2024 UEC Gravel European Championships on the Asiago Plateau turned into one of mourning. During the 65-69 masters race, Italian rider Silvano Janes tragically passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest. Despite immediate medical assistance, nothing could be done."
"In light of the incident, the UEC, in agreement with the Flanders Classics and PP Sport Events organizers, decided to halt all races after the second lap of the 51km circuit. Only the first two groups in the Men's Elite race were allowed to complete the third lap to contest the European title."
"The organizers also confirmed that podium ceremonies were cancelled for all categories and that the elite men's and elite women's categories stood on the podium for a top-three podium photo. Additionally, after the race, there were no usual celebrations."
