Botswana's top cyclist, Fabian Gordon, 24, who died on Tuesday morning in a road accident, will be buried in Pilane on Sunday afternoon. The funeral service is expected to start at 12 noon at his home after the annual Pick 'n Pay race scheduled for Sunday morning.

In an interview with Mmegi Sport yesterday, Fabian's elder brother, Moses said; "we settled for 12 noon to allow his colleagues at Tsela Riders Club to attend as they'll be involved in a race on Sunday morning." Fabian died on Tuesday morning while cycling near Phakalane in preparation for the Sunday race. He crashed into the back of a stationary taxi and died instantly. Fabian, had been Botswana's top cyclist. He had won countless races, and was a favourite to defend the Pick and Pay race scheduled for Sunday.

His death has been described as a huge blow to the cycling institution in the country. His protge Enzo Dalgety told Mmegi Sport that he was devastated by Fabian's death. "I had known him for just a year but we developed such a relationship that he was more of a brother to me. For the past year we trained together every single day. He got me into cycling after seeing me performing some stunts with a bike.
