The Tour de Suisse had difficult years. Coronavirus, a tough search for sponsors and a decline in interest from the general public have not gone unnoticed. And then this: Gino Madera’s fatal crash. Worst possible scenario for tour director Olivier Senn. But the way he handled it in the last few days is impressive.
He does not hide, but stands in front of the media and openly shows how bad he is. He does not react irritably to critical questions, but faces (unfounded) accusations that are leveled at him and the organization. On the day of Gino Madera’s death, he does not think that the tour must take place due to all the obligations and money, but he says in no uncertain terms that he does not care about this issue at all. At the moment.
Sensitive, humane, tactful. What Olivier Senn and his team have done over the past few days is touching. And a role model for many business bosses or presidents of sports clubs. When problems arise, they like to sit back, get confused with excuses, or even do not take their responsibility seriously.
Cycling fans thank Senna. Yesterday afternoon about 100 people gathered in front of the Volga at Salmsach TG. 100 spectators who consoled passing drivers and the entire touring entourage at this nondescript crossroads and thus showed that it was necessary to continue. They should also thank Senna for making this possible yesterday.
