McF%ck sake who cares about the result

 

[Lanark]

This is so sad. When I saw those images I feared the worst, but you try to hope, man man, I have no words.

 

[Barrus]

they have nets there

That only concerns the outise edge of the descent, not the road surface itself, nor the wall on the other side of the road

 

[Parrulo]

well since it is confirmed now there is no point in watching something depressive like that

a shame to see some1 so young die this way . . .

 

[B.Rasmussen]

RIP Wouter.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

They (Tuttobiciweb) think he hit a pedal on the guard rail and that sent him violently to the pavement with a fracture at the base of his skull. Rest in Peace, Wouter

 

[Tuarts]

Oh this is sickening indeed.

Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

 

[Havetts]

[Francois the Postman]

Horrific news, there is a memorial thread up in the forum.

I am half an inch away from closing this thread. Not sure what else can be added here about the stage itself that is worth saying, that is more appropriate there.

Please keep things respectful.

yeah so we can be afraid of every downhil. seriously, a rider dieing happens eveyr 5 years or so and it's really horrible but that's also some of the risks. I;m sure if we stopped putting climbs and downhils in races nobody would be watching

RIP wouter weylandt, I had a very bad feeling could tell by how damaged his face was and could see the paramedics doing cpr. my thoughts go out to you. The whole giro will be saddened by your death.

 

[Tuarts]

What about all those "toughest grand tour" comments?

While what you say may be true, now is not the time to be talking about it in my opinion.

I completely concur with notion, and would advise that be the best course of action

 

[hatcher]

I think anyone who saw those awful images knew this wasn't going to end well.

RIP Wouter Weylandt.

i agree with this. it may not be the best time to talk about this but its reality.

still is very sad to see a cyclists die. . .

 

[VeloCity]

I guess there's some solace in that fact that it happened so quickly he didn't suffer.

RIP Wouter.
