    cant believe he was killed in such a simple tragedy
    conspiracy theorists will have a field day with this as he was apparently the
    whistle blower on the recently caught dopers around Girona

    Jesus when your time is up its up isn't it. Thats such a freak accident. RIP Xavier and hopefully Beñat Inxtausti wasn't actually there to see it happen. If he was best wishes to him too.

    Very sad. I seem him race twice in the last couple of years, a real nice guy. As for the doping, we really needed him and many more like him.
    Rest in peace Xavier.

    A posting over on the cyclingnews forums indicates that this was an extraordinarily tragic accident:

    "Biciclismo writes that Tondo was in the car and drove outside, but the garage door came down. He then stepped out of the car to press the "open" button for the garage-door. But then the car started rolling and Tondo was crushed between the car and the garage-door.
    Intxausti was in the car in the passagers seat and whitnessed the whole thing, but couldn't do anything to prevent the accident from happening."

    What a tragedy only just heard this sad news. A talented rider who won this year's Castilla y Leon tour and beating a quality field at that. RIP Xavier
