    Damn my lack of social media skills, fair nuff. Must have, understandably, changed their minds.

    Really no other decision they could make in the circumstances.
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    Even now it feels sereal, how on earth do the other riders get their "game" faces on and race is beyond me. I never new the guy and yet i've had a melancholy feeling following me about.

    Watching the highlights of stage 4 on Eurosport last night brought me to tears. My wife couldn't understand why I was so upset, but I think it has a lot to do with seeing the images of the crash live. I'll never forget those :-(

    Accidents like this - freak occurrences, really - make you realise how fragile life is, and how mortal you are.

    RIP WW.

    It was those two dozen 108's that did me and the solemn silence along the route.

    I agree, all the people on the last climb with the 108s really hit me. I thought, what a tribute. And all the fans, to me it was like they had a 220 km parade for Weylandts. Have to remember a funeral parade watched by millions that's a lot more than most people get. In that respect Wouter and his family are lucky. I would be surprised if they considered the arrangements were not enough or proportionate.
    When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.

    That is a gallery. I hope there's some respect for them now. Last time I looked, the comment was all how bad sky are.

    The race number 108 has been retired for the Giro.

    Think someone mentioned that before.
