Austria Runt cancels the final stage of the competition after professional cyclist André Drege died in an accident on the penultimate stage on Saturday.

Instead, a memorial service will be held for the deceased 25-year-old from Norway.

"It gives the entire cycling family the opportunity to honor André Drege's memory", writes the organizer Tour of Austria, according to Norwegian TV2.

Saturday's accident occurred when Drege cycled down the alpine road on Mount Grossglockner.
