CoreTechs teammate, Ricky Lucero died Saturday December 8th, 2012 while out riding his bike. I have pasted the email from
his wife below. It seems so far that it was a medical issue and not a car or
crash that was the cause.
Ricky was a tremendous guy. He had a great sense of humor, was extremely kind and a
great teammate to race with. Ricky raced an old steel bike but was still
able to win Santa Cruz crit in 2011 and be a factor in many other races. After much cajoling we convinced him to upgrade (he was super strong
and a great rider and deserved a better bike) and he had just purchased a new
SL4 to race in 2013. Hard to express the shock and sadness that this would happen to a
young guy, who was so strong. Ricky will be missed tremendously.
Ricky leaves behind two boys ages 14 and
11 and his wife Michele.
Godspeed Ricky.

From Ricky's wife:
It's with my heaviest of hearts that I let everyone know
today I lost the love of my life. My beloved husband Ricky of 16 yrs died while
on his bike today. Details are unclear. He lost consciousness while on his bike
and was unresponsive by the time the paramedics got there. We are all in shock,
denial and grief. We are all thinking of happy memories with family right now.
Please keep Ricky in your thoughts & prayers.
Michele
