May he rest in peace. Very sad indeed.

Awful. Just awful. Here's a short summary of his much too short life: http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/...ography_171968.

From Graham Watson: No Giro update, no point. I'll remember Wouter Weylandt as a happy man, winning a stage of the 2009 Vuelta: R.I.P

Terrible.
According to what I read on Universal Sports, there's been concern about this year's route, in terms of safety on the descents. Although, today's route wasn't one that was on the list as possibly unsafe.

My husband told me and I was tearing up over the Cycling News Article. So young, so tragic, his wife is pregnant, just so much about this is sad. Prayers to his family, his friends and the peloton.

Crankin - the reports I read was the riders considered the descent technical but the pavement was good and it seems overall they weren't concerned about this one. If I remember correctly this is not the first time concerns over the safety of the Giro has been voiced.
