Another tragic loss

Belgian cyclist Wouter Weylandt was killed in the third stage crash of Giro d'Italia. Weylandt was in his fifth year as a professional cyclist, was looking forward to becoming the father of his first child and was racing this season for the newly formed Luxembourg-based Leopard Trek team.

He last year won the third stage of the Giro d'Italia, where he bested the top sprinters in the peloton after a marathon stage to Middelburg.

Tragic indeed.
