    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.

    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.

    I just saw the repeat of stage 4, made me cry.
    I like bikes, sometimes more than my husband
