Very touching and fitting tribute to the late Wouter Weylandt.

Tyler looked proper upset. He's said to be leaving the Giro to return to Belgium.

Wow. An emotional final km, respect to the Leopard Trek guys and Tyler. Not ashamed to admit that I could feel tears forming. Very touching.

I think it would be fitting to retire the number fromthe Giro as was being discussed on Eurosport.

I am a complete and cynical heartless b'stard at the best of times, however today not ashamed to say that I had to wipe a tear. Thought the whole stage was fitting and very moving, RIP Wouter.

Terribly sad watching earlier, had to wipe away a tear. Did not see yesterday's race and do not want to see the incident causing the death of a young man.

Touching moment when the LT team allowed Tyler Farrar to join them for the final kilometers

Was very moving. I think David Harmon is an excellent commentator

Very sad and it brought a tear to my eye.

A very dignified response from Team Leopard and the peloton.

Glad I'm not the only one who had watery eyes. It was really touching to see Tyler up withthe Leopard team and glad they pull him back into line at the end there

OH COME ON!

Just watching the SkyPlussed footage from Eurosport, the !$%&ing thing's just come up with "End of Programme" with a few minutes left to run. I didn't catch exactly how far was left, but it'd just showed the back of the peloton stopping where the road narrows into a hillclimb.

Gods damn it. Anyone know where I can catch the end?

So it is! Good spot. Hour-long programme, so highlights I'm guessing.

Just found this too,

... which starts from pretty much exactly where the Sky box crapped out, so it's all good.

Cheers.

It bought a tear to my eye. Leopard have pulled out the giro, IMO totally the right thing to do.
