It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share that yesterday we lost our teammate and friend, Haylan Engdahl.
Haylan was one of those people who just made everything a little better just by being there. He was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and friendly, but above all he was just so happy. He had an infectious positivity about him that was impossible not to notice.
Earlier this spring, Haylan had a training crash at team camp and broke his femur. It was probably one of the worst injuries most of us had seen. But somehow, he was still smiling, and insisting we should just “pop it back in”. He is probably the only person in the world who was smiling with a broken femur. But that was just Haylan. Even on what had to have been one of the toughest days of his life, he found a way to be positive, to joke around, and to make the people around him feel better.
That is how we will remember him. Not just as our teammate, but as the incredible young man he was. The person who brought an energy to our team that can never be replaced. We are devastated that we won’t share another ride, another conversation, or another laugh with him. But we are so grateful for every mile and every memory that we did get to share.
Our hearts are with Haylan’s family, his loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. As well as the other riders injured and the people who are beside them.
We love you, Haylan. We will miss you forever. ❤️
