Sad news out of Great Britain where 18 year-old Aidan Worden (360 CYCLING TEAM) was killed in a traffic collision on Saturday while training with teammates, according to a Facebook post by his team.

“It is with the deepest sadness that today we lost one of our young riders. At around 10.30am, while on a training ride with his mates, Aidan had an accident which resulted in him losing his life. Aidan has been part of 360 for over three years, during that time he has developed as a person, man and rider to a level few of us ever achieve.”

Despite heroic efforts from first responders who arrived quickly, the reigning British Junior 25-Mile Time Trial Champion was sadly pronounced dead at the tragic scene in Darwen.

For three season the teenager raced for the 360 Cycling Team and had a breakout year in 2024, placing first at the prestigious 62nd Eddie Soens Memorial road race in March and then winning the time trial British championship in August after recovering from COVID.

Lancashire Police report the collision occurred at 10:28 on Saturday 1 February, but have not released additional details. An investigation is underway, with police appealing to the public for information or video footage from the area at the time of the collision.
