Former Danish professional cyclist Chris Anker Sørensen died after colliding with a vehicle while riding in Belgium, according to the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

Sorensen, 37, was planning to comment on the Road World Championships in Flanders.

“It’s very sad to know the death of our good colleague Chris,” a TV2 sports announcer said in a broadcast.

Retired from professional cycling in 2018, Sorensen won the national title in Denmark in 2015 and won the 2010 Giro d’Italia stage.
