Melissa Hoskins received her final farewell from family and friends in an intimate ceremony held in Perth (Australia). A hundred people attended and wanted to say goodbye to the girl in an emotional funeral that was also attended by her husband, Rohan Dennis. The cyclist entered the Fremantle cemetery via side access with her two children.
Hoskins died at the end of the year after being hit by a car driven by Dennis. An event that shocked the world of cycling and is still not explained.
The former world champion is currently on bail after being charged with “dangerous driving, negligent driving and endangering human life resulting in death.” In mid-March he had to appear before a judge in Adelaide to try to clarify what happened on the fateful December 30.
Peter Hoskins, Melissa’s father, wanted to pay tribute to his daughter in an emotional speech. “The joy of Melissa’s life touched so many people. Today we celebrate a life that was also cut short. Melissa’s best days are yet to come,” he declared.
