Axeon Hagens Berman Mourns Chad Young

Chad Young did not survive his crash last Sunday on the Tour of the Gila

Axel Merckx, General Manager has just announced this morning "I am very sorry to let everyone know that Chad Young did not survive his crash last Sunday. He passed away Friday evening, surrounded by his family."

"We lost a friend, a teammate and a family member. I have no words that can express my pain over this loss. I can only say that I am very thankful to have known him and that I feel privileged to have been able to share in his passion for cycling."

"Thank you for the outpouring of love and support over the past few days. We ask that you keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."

"May he rest in peace."

The 21-year-old from Newmarket, New Hampshire, suffered severe head injuries in a high-speed mountain descent and was life-flighted to a hospital in Tucson, Arizona.

He was initially listed in stable condition with severe facial lacerations, although on Tuesday, Young’s team announced that he was in critical condition.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Chad's family and friends, during this devastating and difficult time.
