His daughters found him dead at his home in Omaha on Tuesday. Weide, the father of five, has previously worked with the BMC cycling team and then, before that, with team Type 1 and Rock Racing team. He has also worked for the Toyota-United cycling team.
His work…
His main duty was to bring different cycling stories out for the fans. He played an important role being the main, support link between cyclists and the media.
Sean was a class act, hard working, down to earth man and I’m so sad that he’s gone far too soon. ? credit @sweide 2015 @USAProChallenge pic.twitter.com/kvpmEey3wh

He re defined ‘always there for you’ and I can’t think of a harder more passionate professional. Above all and first, a clearly loving father. My heart goes out to his ‘Weide princesses’. We will miss and remember you, RIP Sean.”
The cycling world lost 1 of it’s best today. One of the kindest, hardest working guys I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I’ll miss you https://t.co/nMNzyUMiVG
