Cycling lost another champion this weekend when former Spanish mountain biking champion Inaki Lejarreta was hit by a car while training on Sunday, December 16, 2012, according to a story in The Washington Post.
Lejarreta was Spain’s mountain bike champion in 2007. He competed in cross-country cycling at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and professionally with the Orbea team. . . He was the nephew of cyclist Marino Lejarreta, who won the Spanish Vuelta in 1982.
Our thoughts are with Lejarreta’s family, friends, and the entire cycling community.
