What the **** is this. Gah.

It wasn't during a training ride, by the way. All the reports I've seen say his garage door fell on him just when he was about to go out on a training ride.

Goddamn. RIP Xavi.

I read it. What a terrible and bizar accident.

RIP Xavier Tondo

Jezus, that's terribly sad news. I think he looked like a genuinely nice person. May he rest in peace.

And a garage door falling on his head? That's just crazy...
