    Yes, agree with all the sentiments above, and I apologise if I came across as cold and heartless posting a stage 4 pick but I hadn't heard the full extent of the news here on holiday with fairly poor mobile coverage and quickly posted a pick as id missed stage 3. Feel like a bit of a dunce for posting now obviously, my feelings are of course with Wouter and his loved ones RIP.

    Hopefully they'll award the stage to the Leopard team for tomorrow
    The Fabio Casartelli death was followed by a neutral stage and the prizes for that day went to the riders family.

    As others have said-I think we should leave PTP for stage 4.....it will more than likely just be run in tribute to Weylandt with Leopard crossing the line with the first 8 places....and even if it isn't, I'm sure most dont really fancy picking stage winners at this time either.

    I also agree with all of the comments above, please take it that my Stage 4 pick from when I placed it last week doesn't stand any longer.
    RIP Wouter Weylandt, a truely tragic loss and a very, very sad day.

    Agreed with all above. Lets leave this stage blank.

    RIP Wouter
