[jobiwan]

That was just surreal...
Something I'll never forget.
Chapeau

Gut wrenching...the faces of the Leopard riders and Tyler Farrar beautiful and very sad at the same time

The bells going off in the background is giving me more goosebumps.

the church bells here (in Ghent) are ringing just behind me too.

moving beyond words

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

How moving was that?

a truly beautiful stage. That was something else.

 

[Hawkwood]

Extremely moving and dignified.

 

[Ferminal]

Wow, that was moving. Never seen anything like that.

 

[slim charles]

I don't like using word 'beautiful' when talking about a tragic event such as this, but this was certainly very beautiful and moving way to honor Wouter.

 

[Kwibus]

That was beautiful.

Nonstop goosebumps.....

 

[will10]

Exceptionally moving final few minutes there.

 

[boomcie]

Very intense.

 

[eleven]

Well done boys, very well done. A fitting tribute. May it bring some measure of solace to the empty hearts among you.

 

[The Sheep]

That was very beautifully done

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

wegmann looked pretty devastated also.

 

[CatsNK]

Very moving, very sad. A beautiful tribute. Not a dry eye in the house.

 

[boomcie]

wegmann looked pretty devastated also.

Room mate, right?

 

[Ramira]

wegmann looked pretty devastated also.

Taking into account he was his roommate that's hardly surprising, he was clearly broken up at the start aswell. I imagine he will leave the Giro and prepare for the funeral like Tyler.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

I was fine until Farrar started crying. And when they crossed the finish line like that, it was just too much....

[Dr. Maserati]

A proper, dignified, respectful and very moving tribute by all today.

Like the sport it was both tragic and beautiful.

 

[Mellow Velo]

3 times I've witnessed this tribute and it's 3 times too many.
It doesn't get any easier.
Extremely emotional and very, very tough.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Room mate, right?

Apparently yes.

I'm man enough to admit I shed a tear during those scenes

RIP Wouter.

Susan

+1 (I guess I have to add more words for it to be allowed.)

 

[will10]

Apparently yes.

RIP Wouter.

You're not the only one

 

[superconfex]

That was a beautiful and touching tribute, really moved me

 

[Havetts]

When Farrar did his shifts and when Leopard Trek moved infront of the peloton I couldnt hold them anymore and neither could my father..

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I hardly ever shed a tear, but today was one of those days. Indeed, too much, seeing the last 3km especially...
