Gent Six Day ends in "nightmare"

The cycling world is in shock over the death of Isaac Gálvez, who suffered a fatal accident on Saturday night at the Gent Six Day. The track world champion and road cyclist for Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears collided with Dimitri De Fauw and fell onto the rail at the top of the track. He fell unconscious immediately and died on the way to the Gent University Clinic hospital. Preliminary reports indicate the cause of death was an internal hemmorhage, but the full story will not be available until the autopsy is complete. The remainder of the event was cancelled by the organiser.
