So, I'll leave the avatar here now.
Ruhe in Frieden, Wouter.

Stay strong dear family and friends !

Maxime Monfort:

"I was supposed to go to a training camp on Tenerifa but I preferred to stay here, for Wouter's funeral. There are more important things in life than a cycling training camp. Maybe afterwards we will hold a camp with the whole team in order to take care of everyone and re-motivate us all. Because it's still just as hard, it's not easy right now"

I think this is a good idea, but it'll be difficult to find a time in the near future where everyone can attend it

Eurosport showed a bit from the funeral. And yes I cried...

Well, I figured that detail didn't really matter. What did was the words in the blog. What especially got to me was the describtion of Wouter's pride at going to be a daddy. And now he won't get to, not other than an angel watching over his little girl.

It was in the Classic Race Pics thread, but I thought it should be here too.

 

[mewmewmew13]

nice. a very fitting memorial.

 

[RedheadDane]

Indeed it is.

I love the W salute

I'm really glad Tyler is coming in to form and will ride the Tour. Everyone works through grief differently but I think riding his bike around France with his friends might help.

another way to donate to the family

Milltag's limited run Tommy jersey is a celebration of the achievements of British cycling legend Tom Simpson with all profits going to the family of Wouter Weylandt, who was tragically killed when he crashed during Stage 3 of this year's Giro.

Nice idea, but that is one awful jersey IMO of course.
