The Axeon Hagens Berman team wrote a brief message on Twitter. “It is with great sadness that we inform everyone our beloved Public Relations man Sean Weide passed away today. We are at a loss for words.”
It has been a tough period for the team after their rider Chad Young died following a crash at the Tour of the Gila in April.
Weide was a longstanding member of the cycling community and had previously worked with BMC Racing, Team Type 1, and many others. Many team members and staff took to social media to express their condolences and share memories of Weide.
