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 at a time like this, but you know what I mean.

Shocking and sad. I wish I had something more profound to say. Our thoughts are all with his family, friends and fellow riders.

This is truly horrible news. When it happened on TV I wasn't really watching and had no idea how serious it was. I became interested in Weylandt after watching his victory last year in the Giro and was really impressed by him. This is a huge loss for everyone.

Terrible tragedy at such a young age. May he rest in peace.

I cannot believe it. I'm still in chock.

Terrible day for us cycling fans

I'd say this puts the sport into perspective, but I won't.

It's the lack of perspective that saddens me the most. It's is just sad beyond words.
