Apparently he never got over Galvez' death. Very sad that he (still) blamed himself. One crash, two lives taken.

Poor man. He must have been through hell. Very sad.

Horrible news. RIP Dmitri

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

For me, much more shocking than VDB's death...

 

[Oldman]

Bad, bad news. Can't imagine even riding again after what he went through.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Terrible, terrible news.

Poor guy, I feel for him as he obviously took this very hard. He valued someone elses life more than his own.

 

[peloton]

Way to young to go, very sad.
RIP

 

[usedtobefast]

[journalguy]

Jean-Marie Dedecker (not the most trustworthy man in Belgium, but still) came with a different explanation next to the reason being De Fauw couldn't get over Galvez' death.
He claims De Fauw was was spat out by other riders and teams after he made a testimony in the case against Quick-Step. According to Dedecker De Fauw got depressed when he couldn't find a new team. Dedecker tried to get him a contract at Topsport Vlaanderen, but even they didn't take them and this seems to really upset Dedecker.

If true it puts the case in a different perspective.

he may not be trustworthy, but lying on the back of somebodys death would be abhorrent.. on this one i think there is probably a lot of truth in it...

interested to see Joe P's views if hes around..
