Rob Goris (16 March 1982 – 5 July 2012) was a Belgian professional road racing cyclist who rode for UCI Professional Continental Team team Template:Cycling data WGG.
Biography
Before becoming a cyclist he competed at national level in ice hockey.[1] From 1998 to 2009, Goris played ice hockey for HYC Herentals and Olympia Heist op den Berg, winning the Belgian national championship three times.[2] He also took part in three World Championships with the Belgian national team, where he served as captain.[3] After HYC Herentals won the title in 2009, Goris retired from the ice hockey to focus on a career in cycling.[2]
In 2010, he joined the UCI Continental team Palmans–Cras. That year, he won the Antwerpse Havenpijl and the Belgian National Road Race Championships (Belgian national road race championship for elite riders without a professional contract).[4]
Death
He died of a heart attack in his hotel room in Rouen while visiting the 2012 Tour de France.[5] A funeral service was held for Goris in Herentals, Belgium, at the Sint-Waldetrudis Church. A bicycle and a pair of hockey skates were placed before his urn.[2] Former ice hockey teammates honored his memory by lining the church aisle with their jerseys and sticks as his ashes were brought inside.[2]
