A heartbreaking drama has shaken the cycling scene: Swiss cycling ace Stefan Küng and his wife Céline are in mourning for their child who died in the womb! 

"Our family should have grown. We were expecting our second child in August. Unfortunately, we lost it last week," writes the Groupama FDJ pro in an emotional post on Instagram.

"... to get through this sad time!"
He, his wife and one-and-a-half-year-old Noé (see picture on Instagram) would now need time "to get through this sad time".

Due to the private drama, he has also recently skipped the races in Italy, such as the "Strade Bianche" at the weekend or currently "Tirreno-Adriatico".
