Probably coronary artery disease or an arrhythmia. Sudden cardiac arrest can strike any of us at any time. It’s sad.

Yes, and isn’t it odd how many professional cyclists die of the same thing?

I find your implication out of place. Many fit individuals have succombed to heart failure. It does **not **mean they were doping. Put yourself in the shoes of a close family member that is suffering from this loss. A very moral person likely lost their life.
true…very very sad… WHen I used to read about death of an athlete, pretty much I didn´t cared much…well, this time, raced agains the guy 3 weeks ago…he won.
Dude was soft spoken, very quite, liked to play music and do train his sport…Although it is impossible to avoid doping accusations at those times, i´m still shocked.
damn… 3 weeks ago i was chatting about how I was a fan of him when we raced MTB (he was brazil´s junior champ)

Implication? Maybe yours. It’s just odd how many professional cyclists die of the same thing.
R.I.P. Thiago, we miss you buddy.
