DEP Victor. May we forever remember happier times, and all thoughts be with his family, with his friends and with those that knew him.

I do perceive cases such as this as happening more often at the moment. Or rather, the outcomes are being worse. We had a few high profile escapes from some horrific crashes, such as Jonny Bellis and Pedro Horrillo, and some whose lives will never be the same but at least survived, such as Marina Romoli. However, since Carla Swart's death in January last year, it feels like we've had several deaths, and any is too many.

Siempre con nosotros.

This is the kind of news no one wants to hear - it's too much to handle especially because he was so young and had a bright future ahead of him :(

RIP Victor Cabedo

A shame. He was a promising rider going through a bad year, and suddenly that doesn't matter at all.

DEP

The story on the front page about Euskaltel lists Cabedo as one of their released riders. Cold.

Seems to be the way things are done 'round here. When it comes to teams there are two main categories Still with team and Leaving team, sometimes with the third New arrival categori thrown into the mix.

If you look at the Movistar team profile under Riders leaving after 2011 both Tondo and Soler are listed...


Of course I really don't hope we'll end up in a situation where we have a special category for people who've passed away!:(

This 2018 will debut in the pro peloton the younger brother of Victor: Óscar, who signed with Burgos BH. He's a light climber.
Óscar started to compete at the age of 18, just aftes his brother death. He worked hard to honour his memory.

And in the car, as a director, will be the older brother of Victor: José, who has experience directing amateur teams and will debut as a pro-team director as well.

The Cabedo family has been very close to cycling world all this years after Victor decease, even organising one of the best junior races in Spain, the "Memorial Víctor Cabedo". The two first editions winners - Enric Mas and Fernando Barceló - are already proffesional riders.
