That sounds awful, completely missed that. Must be really traumatic for him and his children.
Great Britain won gold medals in the women's team sprint and men's team pursuit on the opening day of action at the UCI Track Nations Cup in Adelaide.
World silver medallists Lauren Bell, Sophie Capewell and Emma Finucane clocked 46.023 seconds to beat China.
Joshua Tarling, Rhys Britton, Will Tidball and Charlie Tanfield won their team pursuit final against Australia.
World champions Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker, Josie Knight and Anna Morris took women's team pursuit silver.
Laura Kenny has announced her retirement from cycling. A fantastic career to look back on for her!
Belgian cyclist Wout van Aert suffered a broken collarbone and several broken ribs in a heavy crash at the Dwars door Vlaanderen one-day race.
The 29-year-old will now miss upcoming classics the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix and Amstel Gold Race.
Team Visma-Lease a Bike added it is "unclear" how long he will be out for.
Van Aert fell in a high-speed crash 67 kilometres from the finish of the race in Belgium, which was won by Visma team-mate Matteo Jorgenson.
That's not good - he's always a key part of the Grand Tour teams so it would be a real shame if he's not able to recover for then. All the best to him.
World champion Lotte Kopecky won her first women's Paris-Roubaix as Great Britain's Pfeiffer Georgi claimed a podium place in a sprint finish.
Georgi, 23, led out a six-strong group in the Roubaix Velodrome before being overtaken in the finishing straight.
Italy's Elisa Balsamo was second but Georgi just edged out the Netherlands' three-time world champion Marianne Vos on the line to finish third.
Britain's Tom Pidcock is a late entry into the men's race on Sunday
Another crazy accident in the Basque country tour, poor Vindegaard, wonder if he can even be at the Tour de France
Ah that's awful - really not good to see last year's winner potentially not even being able to start (a collapsed lung doesn't sounds good at all, really hope it's not career or life-threatening). I've seen Roglic and Evenepoel have crashed badly recently as well, I wonder if any of the main contenders are even going to make it to the Tour?
Geraint Thomas says he is "in a great place" as he prepares to lead a strong Ineos Grenadiers team at May's Giro d'Italia.
Former Tour de France winner Thomas, 37, is targeting both Grand Tours in 2024, having been runner-up in Italy 12 months ago.
Ineos also include top 10 Giro finishers Thymen Arensman and Tobias Foss in their squad for this year's race which starts in Turin on Saturday, 4 May.
"We have a strong line-up and there is a good bond with this group," said Thomas.
"The core is the same as last year’s Giro team, with some great additions for this year.
"We have spent a lot of time together at training camp - we know what we need to do and are all feeling super-motivated to get the job done and deliver."
