COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — U.S. national team cyclist Magnus White was killed over the weekend when he was struck by a vehicle on a training ride near his home in Boulder, Colorado.

He is survived by his parents, Michael and Jill, and his brother, Eero.

He had begun to dabble in road racing and mountain biking this year.
