UCI president Brian Cookson said: "I'm devastated to hear that the cycling family has lost one of its members at such a young age. Our deepest thoughts are with her family and friends."
Kalvenhaar was the current under-23 European cyclo-cross champion and was part of the Focus XC team.

"The whole Focus XC Team is very proud to stay on the start line today for you by the UCI Worldcup in Meribel. You will be in our heart in each second from our live!"
