Breaking: Davide Rebellin killed in reported hit-and-run collision involving lorry driver The 51-year-old brought the curtain down on his 30-year professional career at last month’s Veneto Classic cycling
Davide Rebellin, the former classics star who only retired from professional cycling last month after 30 years in the peloton, was killed earlier today in a reported hit-and-run collision involving a lorry driver., the 51-year-old was struck by the truck driver shortly before midday while training in the town of Montebello Vicentino, in the northern Italian province of Vicenza, and killed instantly.
According to pictures from the scene, the crash happened on the exit from the roundabout to a bar and restaurant called Il La Padana, which Google Street View suggests is used by lorry drivers given the HGVs parked there, the location lying close to the A4 Trieste-Turin motorway. Highlights included a famous ‘Ardennes triple’ in 2004, a feat only Philippe Gilbert, in 2011, has matched.
