[Flying_Monkey]

His girlfriend is pregnant with their first child

I didn't know that. If anything could make it worse, that does.

+1, R.I.P. Mr Weylandt. Sad to say his was a name I am not familiar with, having only lately started watchign cycle racing and then only the coverage on Freeview, but I feel deeply for his poor girlfriend and family.
Are there any more details of the circumstances of the accident?

 

[dellzeqq]

Sky tells us that his pedal 'locked'.

Here RIP

A very very sad day for the sport.
These guys are real hard men and their efforts go almost unnoticed in the Uk.
RIP Wouter and condolences to the family and team mates of Trek Leopard

HORRENDOUS Pictures on Eurosport today RIP

I was just catching up here before going downstairs to watch the recorded coverage.

Horrible news - yes, R.I.P.

I don't want to watch it happen, I'll delete the recording without watching it.

I meant to watch it but got busy fixing innertubes ! and forgot until the last 10km, I'm glad I didn't see the last 30km now; RIP Wouter :-(

A very sad day. Rest in peace Wouter and my thoughts and prayers are for your family and team Leopard-Trek. Perhaps one of your team will be inspired to win one for you, much like Lance did following the tragic loss of Casartelli in the 1995 TdF.
