(CNN) Tragedy struck the Tour de Poland on Monday, when cyclist Bjorg Lambrecht died after a crash.
According to his team, Lotto-Soudal, 22-year-old Lambrecht crashed on the third stage of the race between Chorzów and Zabrze and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Lambrecht, a native of Belgium, had been looking forward to the race and shared his excitement in a video shortly before the event.
"I hope I have a good condition to make some good results for me and the team," he said.
Lambrecht went pro in 2018 when he joined Lotto-Soudal and was considered up and coming talent in the cycling world.
