You just don't think that sporting demi gods are subject to such baffling misfortune.

momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -

Just catching up.
A very depressing few weeks in the world of cycling.
I am shocked and deeply saddened.

Terrible news. RIP Xavi.
Incidentally, I think it's the car that crushed him against the door, not vice versa.0 -
bizarre way to go imo, great shame for such a great talent RIP ....0

Just read the news on Yahoo Sports pages. Terrible.
Am very saddened though to read one idiot on the Eurosport/cycling forum implying that he may have been bumped off due to his 'whistle blowing' earlier in the year. Idiot.
RIP Xavier.Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.0 -
Jesus, this is horrible news. I'd been looking forward to seeing this guy racing since his Paris-Nice stage victory.0
