A 51 year-old Dutchman died while participating in the Amstel Gold Race Cyclosportive ride on Saturday, April 15. The man, who hadn't registered in the event but nevertheless rode in the bunch of cyling tourists, became ill during the ascent if the Cauberg, the race's last climb in Valkenburg, and died shortly after.
As the man wasn't in possession of a start number or identification papers, it took a while for police officers to find out who he was. The Amstel tourist ride gathers 12.000 cyclists every year, as well as many riders who do not sign in.
