The British Cycling community is mourning the loss of promising young cyclo-cross racer Charlie Craig from Derbyshire. The 15-year-old son of former national champion Nick Craig died in his sleep on Friday night.
"Yesterday, our world fell apart," Nick Craig wrote on Facebook. "Our beautiful lovely little boy Charlie went to sleep but never woke up. I don't know what else to write just now, but he will be with his little angel niece."
Charlie Craig was 15, and won this season's National Trophy Cyclocross Series at the under-16 level.

British Cycling programmes director, Andy Harrison, expressed his condolences in a press release. "Charlie was a promising young rider who had his whole life ahead of him. Everyone involved with the team is devastated by this news and, naturally, all of our thoughts are with Charlie's family."
The last time Charlie Craig rode up past our house and we shouted "stick a mile on" should not have been the Last time. Never forgotten. X http://pic.twitter.com/FIlHotBfRS
