De bedenker van de Larsen TT is niet meer.

De bedenker van 's werelds meest veelzijdige band (in mijn ogen dan) en allround uitstekend biker is niet meer...

Life is so much easier when you roll up with your pimp ride and people already know you can't ride... No need to prove yourself and chill!
Steve Larsen died yesterday of an apparent heart attack at the age of 39. One of cycling's strong men, the former world class road racer, mountain bike racer, and triathlete collapsed during a footrunning workout on the track in his adopted home of Bend, Oregon. Despite immediate attention medical professionals were unable to resuscitate him.
Larsen leaves a wife, Carrie, and five children. He was held in high regard both by athletes and those in the industry. But it was his athletic abilities across a variety of disciplines that enthused and amazed his fans.
Larsen was a member of the legendary Motorola professional road cycling team and, during his road racing tenure, became a national road champion. He was a dominant force in mountain bike racing during the decade of the 90s. After a disappointing crash cost him a sure spot on the 2000 Olympic mountain bike squad, he dabbled his toe in the waters of triathlon, and that "dabble" made quite a splash.
He sped to the front of the pack on the bike at the 2001 Wildflower long course event, and held on to finish fourth overall on the day. He followed that performance with a win at Ironman Lake Placid, and a top-10 finish at the Hawaiian Ironman World Championship. It was a remarkable first year.
Steve Larsen was not only an instant success as a pro triathlete, he was perhaps the ultimate bike-leg game changer for those in the race. He was just too fast, just too talented, to be ignored by those with skills more typical of pro triathletes.

Topsport is een enorme belasting voor het lichaam. Veel duursporters krijgen uiteindelijk last van een sporthart of iets dergelijks, of dit nu de oorzaak van een hartstilstand is, ik weet het niet. Als je googled op sporthart krijg je verschillende reacties, wetenschappers zijn het ook niet altijd met elkaar eens.
Trying is the first step towards failure.
