A second young Belgian rider has died in the space of two weeks. Jeroen Goeleven, 25, died in his sleep on Tuesday night, two weeks after Michael Goolaerts suffered a heart attack during Paris-Roubaix.

An investigation into Goeleven’s death has been launched, according to the rider’s father. “This afternoon, I found our son Jeroen in his room,” Danny Goeleven said in a Facebook post. “Incomprehensible, we are in deep mourning.

“There are no signs of suicide, that is clear. Again a youngster who inexplicably says goodbye. Given his young age, his death is being investigated. We already know that nothing bad will be found, he just gave so much for cycling.”

Goeleven, who at one time raced with the continental team Colbra, won the Limburg time trial title 10 days ago. In 2016 he won the Limburg road title.

Goolaerts crashed on a cobbled sector of Paris-Roubaix earlier this month. The autopsy confirmed the following week that the 23-year-old suffered a heart attack shortly before he crashed.
