Sam was great. I went to one of his shows in Seattle, about 1990ish. He partied a little to hard, which likely led to his death at a young age.

Anyone else watching HBO's entertaining series, Winning Time: the Rise of the Lakers Dynasty? Magic Johnson's first Lakers coach, Jack McKinney (played by Tracy Letts), loses the rear brake cable on his mid-level Schwinn and subsequently flies over the bars. :foo: I wonder if that's how he actually went down on his bike. It apparently brought an end to his tenure with the Lakers after getting them on the road to greatness.

That scene is at 2:23 in this clip:

Terrible news, but I can't find any reports that he was on a bike.

That is what was stated on one of this morning's news shows.

This is a heartbreaking story in so very many ways. May his family find peace during this terrible time.

i think in the background, white cap, red-green jersey, green bike, may be "Bella" Lella Lombardi, until today only female driver to win an F1 championship point.

I'm pretty sure this is the 1977 race. It's definitely Brazil, as the bicycles are Caloi, who was a Brazilian manufacturer. However, Hunt's bicycle is #1 and he didn't receive the #1 plate until after he became World Champion in 1976. Lauda's #11 assigment also corresponds to hts 1977 number assignment. That would make #9, Alex Ribeiro.

You do realize, that their names are printed on the jersey.?

However, his greatest success came in endurance racing, with six victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Being a Belgian sports personality of the early 1970s, he knew Merckx and reportedly the two often cycled together.

Yes, more recent reports are now classifying it as a pedestrian fatality.

Yeah, I see I fat-fingered the year. Note Niki's ear - definitely post 1976 Brazil!
