Isaac Gálvez Cyclist

Isaac Gálvez López was a Spanish track and road racing cyclist who rode for Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears in the UCI ProTour. He died during the Six Days of Ghent cycling event in Belgium after colliding with Dimitri De Fauw and crashing against the railing. He died from internal bleeding. At the time of the accident he was three weeks married. After this, De Fauw suffered from depression and he committed suicide on November 6, 2009.

Gálvez's sister Débora Gálvez is also a racing cyclist.
