Pelle Lindberg was pretty young when he passed, but very different circumstances as Lindberg was an intoxicated operator of a motor vehicle.
Roberto Clemente is probably the biggest name in North America to pass before finishing his playing career that I can think of. But he was 38 when he passed in that plane crash.
I have to think it's pretty uncommon for two cyclists riding together to both be hit by a vehicle and not make it. Just adds to the destruction of this whole series of events. A family that was in the verge of one of the happiest days of their lives now experiencing this. It does make you sick to think about it.
