    I just heard of this when I stopped by my LBS a little while ago. Very sad.

    From what the bike press is saying, he had a pedal strike a curb or short wall while descending at speed, and it was enough to knock him off the bike, apparently landing face-first to the pavement and tumbling for some 60 feet/20 meters. Skull fractures in the forehead, and traumatic brain injury.

    He was wearing a helmet, but helmets aren't designed to take that much of an impact.

    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.
