News has just come in that 23-year-old Euskaltel Euskadi rider Víctor Cabedo has been killed in a training accident today, Wednesday afternoon.
According to BiciCiclismo, Cabedo crashed into a car and fell into a ravine coming off of a descent while out training near Almedíjar in the province of Castellón, Comunidad Valenciana. The accident took place at 13:50, and he died immediately.
The native of Onda was in his first year with Euskaltel, and had recently pulled out of the Tour of Britain because of a fever. Last season, in his last with Orbea, he offered proof of his vast potential by claiming the fourth stage of the Vuelta a Asturias solo at the tender age of 21.
www.esciclismo.com reports he'll be buried in his home town of Onda Thursday evening.
Basque Cycling News would like to extend its condolences to family and friends on this dark day for sport in Spain.
