"The family and GUIDON CHALETTOIS team are saddened to announce the sudden passing of SIMON MILLON at the age of 24. SIMON was an essential pillar and team N1 member from 2019 to 2023 and again this year.

Beyond his great sporting qualities, which saw him triumph in many events, including the Atlantic Manche and Tour des Deux Sèvres, Simon was generous, combative, loyal, and highly appreciated by his teammates, managers, and club leaders.

His passing is an enormous shock, difficult to overcome for family, friends, and teammates, but everyone will have the heart to honor his memory in upcoming competitions.

All members of GUIDON CHALETTOIS extend their most sincere condolences and support to his parents, his brother Tanguy, his sister Mallaury, and his girlfriend Lou".

With these words, the French amateur team Guidon Chalettois announced on social media the death of Simon Milon: according to the newspaper La République du Centre, the young man was found unconscious in his home in Tours. The causes of his death remain uncertain and could be due to a sudden illness.

The day before his death, he had played a crucial role in the success of his teammate Louis Hardouin in the Boucles Guégonnaises, on the roads of Brittany.

His teammates and team staff have decided to maintain the planned race schedule this weekend, competing in the Tour de Charente-Limousine and ST Projet La Rochefocaud. In this way, the riders wish to pay tribute to Simon in the competitions and support his mother Laurence, father Christophe, siblings Tanguy and Mallaury, and his girlfriend Lou.
