Belgian dies on holiday in Senegal

Frank Vandenbroucke has died. The 34-year-old Belgian cyclist was on holiday in Senegal. Early reports indicate that he died of a blood clot.

Vandenbroucke was out of contract yet looking for a team for next year.

Vandenbroucke turned pro in 1994 with Lotto and won an epic Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 1999.

However his career was not without controversy. He was questioned by police for drunk driving and possession of doping products and despite numerous comebacks he never reached the heights of 1999.
