About Frank Vandenbroucke Cyclist
- Frank Vandenbroucke (6 November 1974 – 12 October 2009), was a Belgian professional road racing cyclist.
- He was the great hope of Belgian cycling in the 1990s but a remarkable talent which appeared in his adolescence in track and field and then in cycle racing dissipated in a succession of drugs problems, rows with teams, suicide attempts and finally being disowned by the cycling world.
- His former wife described him as a cocaine addict.
- However, VDB claimed in an interview with ProCycling's Daniel Friebe three weeks before his death to have made a near-complete recovery from the emotional issues that plagued him throughout his career.
- Vandenbroucke told Friebe, "I simply realise that the last year and a half have been fantastic for me." Nevertheless, he died of a pulmonary embolism in October 2009.
