Cycling has paid tribute to Swiss rider Gino Mader, who died at the age of 26 on Friday as the result of injuries suffered in a crash at the Tour de Suisse a day earlier.

Mader was involved in a high-speed crash on the descent of the Albula Pass, late on stage five of the race along with American Magnus Sheffield, with both riders falling into a ravine.
