Having watched the Giro and the tragic death of Wouter Weylandt, it left an empty feeling and even a question mark over racing.
Today I switched on to Eurosport and watched the Peloton pay their tribute to Wouter and the masses of crowds along the route. A truly moving tribute and Eurosport set the right tone too. I will admit to having tears rolling down my cheeks seeing the crowd hold up Wouter's number on the climb and to see Tyler ride in with the Leopard boys.
I then set out on my bike, I donned a black armband and rode hard. My head cleared and soon realised why I love riding the bike.
Ciao Wouter
