Earlier this afternoon, in Italy during the 3rd stage of the Giro d'Italia, a fairly huge cycling race, Wouter Weylandt, had a fatal crash. This Belgian cyclist was traveling around 45 mph when he lost control. There were several attempts to resuscitate him and he was airlifted from the scene but after all attempts failed he was pronounced dead on site. He rode for Quick Step-Davitamon, and was beginning to rack up a decent amount of recognition. He crashed upon his descent off Passo del Bocco, in Mezzanego, Italy. He and his girlfriend were expecting their first child in september of this year.
Video is of graphic nature.
Sorry to report this depressing news but I have been a huge cycling fan ever since I was little. Much love and peace to his girlfriend and family.
