Remembering Gino Mäder – a reflection on his life that features interviews with the Swiss rider by journalist Kate Wagner

In this special episode, RadioCycling pays tribute to Gino Mäder, the 26-year-old Swiss rider who died after crashing while racing in his national tour last month.

Produced in collaboration with journalist Kate Wagner, who got to know Gino well during his professional racing career, it features extracts from interviews she conducted with the Bahrain Victorious rider.

These interviews highlight not only Gino's love of cycling and racing, but also his passion for issues beyond the sport, notably the climate crisis, which fired his desire to bring about change and tackle inequality and injustice. These interviews also underline how and why Gino became so popular with fans, as a racer whose perspective encompassed the sport, but also went so far beyond it.
