Giro D'Italia: Stage 3: Reggio Emilia - Rapallo 173 Kms

[Barrus]

Terrible crash, I can't understand that the RAI showed the footage of him on the ground. Also, the first thing I thought when they cancelled the ceremony is that Weylandt was dead. I really hope this is not the case, but the crash appeared terrible.

About the race, I had expected a bit more fireworks from people like Visconti and was really amazed when it appeared as though Sastre was being dropped by Cav.

 

[Thomsena]

Devastated.

A little bit of light with your comments about his pulse.

Still remembering the horrific pictures. At first I thought it looked serious but pretty normal. Then I realised that what I thought was water was actually blood. And it looked like blood 'pumping' out of his nose. Horrible, horrible, horrible pictures.

If he -crossing fingers- survives this the medical team should be awarded something special. They were over right away. Heroes.

 

[Descender]

The road surface was good and it wasn't especially narrow, but it was a very technical descent.

 

[dlwssonic]

Dont want to be too pessimistic but I seriously hope this is not a death.

 

[Anonymous]

reports that he is already on his way to hospital seem to be wrong. Rai clearly showing everyone still on the ground.

my goodness.terrible i'm shocked.i regret to watch today's stage.

prayers for wouter,there is still hope

 

[hrotha]

I'm so glad I missed the crash. I hope he makes it, but I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for the worst. I'm refreshing Twitter every minute or so.

 

[TeoSheva]

while riding, for a moment he had a look behind him, and then went on a small wall... terrific

 

[Havetts]

Oh god, I just got home wanting to watch the end of the stage and I press nusport to see a quick update to hear this news. Wouter you're in my thoughts.

 

[PedalCastro]

C'mon Wouter man, best of luck. Stage should have been neutralised

 

[Red Lobster]

I love this sport but sometimes I hate it too.

An italian radio don't give us hopes...

 

[Tuarts]

Just note that with the twittersphere going off (think the word is trending?) about this, you can't take anything said as accurate.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

An italian radio don't give us hopes...
