Tragedy Strikes Stage 3 of Giro d' Italia

Trek Leopard rider Wouter Weylandt was killed today in Stage 3 of the Giro d' Italia. The 26 year old was descending the Bocco mountain pass when his pedal became stuck in the road side wall, throwing him some 20 meters to the ground. He did receive emergency treatment by race doctors, but his heart later stopped.



My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Godspeed
