I unfortunately followed a link early Monday showing a closeup of the Wouter’s face and head, and those images have been with me, mostly in my gut, all week. Based on how sick to my stomach I feel about the loss of Wouter, I can’t imagine how his best friend Tyler must feel.
I’m glad to see Tyler has withdrawn from the Giro to take some time for himself. Best wishes to everyone who has been touched by the tragic loss of Wouter.
I vaguely remember that the original logic behind scheduling the Tour of California at this time of year was that the weather would be better than racing in, say, Belgium this time of year. The grimacing faces of the riders today looked as dismal as at any early-season European race, and remarkably like the faces during a typical ride here…
