    our small cycling family lost a brother today and as a mark of respect stage 4 points should be suspended within our fantasy game whilst the reality of this tragerdy sinks in.

    Such a sad sad loss of a young life which had so much to look forward too. It makes you think just how vulnerable we are as cyclists.

    Yeah his girlfriend is due to give birth in September

    From what i’ve seen online, it looks like Leopard with race tomorrow, but the stage will not count towards the overall and team Leopard-Trek will be allowed to cross the finish line at the front

    i hope Leopard Trek ride
    i hope Leopard Trek ride tomorrow to pay tribute to Wouter Weylendt. the outpouring of condolences on twitter have been immense, lump-in-the-throat reading from other riders/teams within the peloton and pro cycling world at large 🙁

    Perhaps among the peloton can a rider console himself with such tragic news, no doubt Leopard Trek will make the right decision for all concerned.

    Commuting home slowly this evening wearing my 2007 maglia rosa jersey, with a heavy heart and head bowed.

    RIP Wouter Weylendt, thoughts and prayers to your family, friends and Leopard Trek Racing Team

    So sad , and even more
    So sad , and even more poignant in that he won stage 3 last year.
    I think they will ride a neutralised stage

    We’ll make that call tomorrow. Today’s stage was, so far as we can see, properly contested and the scores will stand.

    If they do ride tomorrow, i very much doubt there will be a leopard trek rider in the race

    I fully expect the whole team to be withdrawn
