This happened at the cross-country Eliminator qualifying rounds of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Méribel, France.
She was transferred to the intensive care unit at the Grenoble CHU, but despite all efforts died this morning.
“I’m devastated to hear that the cycling family has lost one of its members at such a young age. Our deepest thoughts are with her family and friends,” says UCI President Brian Cookson.
