RIP Wouter Weylandt

I'm watching right now as Tyler Farrar is riding the final 10k with the Leopard Trek team. There are church bells ringing in the town.

I am weeping. Beautiful tribute.

Roxy - I am at work watching as well. A beautiful tribute today. And glad to have the tissues nearby.

Leopard Trek just announced that they're leaving the Giro. Understandable.

Farrar is also not continuing after today.

I imagine it would be hard to continue to race with any kind of energy after what they did today.

I am glad Leopard-Trek and Farrar rode today for Wouter but I also agree with them leaving. They need time to grieve their friend. It was a beautiful thing they did today, the reports were that they did it for Wouter's family who had come to Italy. So moving.

Friend told me at work today, watched the stage 4 tribute ride after I got home, sad, tearful, quite a tribute.

Sad sad sad.

I just saw the repeat of stage 4, made me cry.

All the riders, team staff and race staff at the Tour of California will be wearing a special Road ID:
