2003»Kivilev's crash in Paris=Nice

Los eventos clave pueden ser cualquier acontecimiento memorable, por ejemplo, una victoria impresionante, pero también una gran caída, un atrevido ataque en solitario o cualquier cosa que genere recuerdos deportivos.

Descripción

In the stage 2 of the 2003 Paris-Nice, Kazakh rider Andrei Kivilev crashed with 40 kilometer to go. The rider in front of him had a mechanical issue and Kivilev couldn't manage to dodge him. He died the morning after the stage in a hospital in Saint-Etienne. The third stage was neutralized with the remaining Cofidis riders crossing the finish line first.

The incident, and Kivilev's subsequent death, was the trigger for the UCI to implement the compulsory wearing of helmets in all races.
