Here is my comment to Cyclingnews.com Forum !
"Saw the crash on TV after deciding not to ride back up the pass after parking the car . The descent in the car at midday was treacherous so i knew that the climb by bike .would be difficult . This is a descent from "hell" and thankfully the road was dry so that more were not injured trying to do their job.
No amount of condolences will suffice but i think it was Wouter who was pulling my leg last friday evening whilst he was sitting in a Team car after the Team Presentation and whenever we have met up in the past he treated me always treated me kindly .
To his family friends and co workers i know he will be a great loss ."
Will add more when the dismay departs . Tragic for his wife and Parents and i hope the media will allow them to grieve in peace .
Saw Angelo Z. talk to David Millar at some length when they arrived at the Podium ,so had a bad feeling then . Later on saw Freddy formerly of Quick Step , and other Team soigneurs who had at that tome no further info at that time but there were long faces on those normally involved on the podium as they departed shortly before the racers crossed the finish line .

As Johan and others would like to remember him :
There is a further item on Wouter here .
Some of the many efforts by the Public to acknowledge the passing of this Great Cyclist :
R.I.P. Wouter .
