I'm seeing the feed from RAI sport and they are sounding very grim. Shots of grieving riders. A long shot from the air of the crash site and - I sure hope I am wrong - but, honest to God, it looks like a body under a blanket. Very long shot, can't see any thing. I don't speak Italian at all, but I have never heard a group of Italians this grim and subdued. Not joking about cultural stereotypes, but you know what I mean.

RIP Wouter

this is just not fair.

 

[Spare Tyre]

It's as though my brain can't process the words. I can't believe it. Except that the Rai team looked so mournful.

Really tragic.

What does this tweet from Fischer mean?: Grande Contador hj,qdo atacou o Millar o Contador ia atras,gritei"nao Alberto",o Millar foi embora e pegou a camisa/lider... Google translate doesn't help me much

Something along the lines of Miller attacked, Contador wanted to react, but Fischer yelled "no Contador" and Contador stopped, but Millar didn't.

 

[El Imbatido]

I reallly hope this is not true............

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I was still hoping to be wrong, but I thought the worst the moment he was shown on tv.

Horrible.

 

[The_Z_man]

Front page of this website now says he's dead.

RIP.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

You are all asssuming that the peloton is aware of what is going on....

Susan

they definetely knew about the horrible crash because half the peloton were beyond weylandts and went to the front to say to lampre. of course they don't know if he's dead but anyone who saw him laying there knew it was very bad.

has anyone found a full result yet??
