definitely consider cycling and sport is cursed in this country. Today, many heads have opened with the smile of Wouter Weylandt, died yesterday at the third stage of the Giro d'Italia.
Sports cursed are those who only take cover when any misfortune. In recent years happens, especially with the toughest rally, Dakar type, and now happens to the sport of two wheels. It is shocking to see how we got to this point with a discipline that has traditionally been attached to the English television after dinner, waiting for a new epic of Indurain, Ocaña, Bahamontes, Olano or Contador. Lack of references there has been no national unlikely to have at one time, at least until they appear cyclists or Beñat Intxausti Igor Antón, then the cause must lie elsewhere.
Years of doping scandals have been gradually undermining the credibility of cycling, leading to the end of the Giro d'Italia is issued in a string (Veo7) having hearings Intereconomía lower than or Clan, actually putting it complicated fans interested (still there).
Now there's a corpse in the Giro and we have all turned their gaze to the corsa rosa. What we knew Weylandt? Not much, really. He ran for the Leopard, was Belgian (cot major cycling classics) and not particularly stressed on the world circuit, perhaps because of his poor motivation youth to cycling, Hare was a great sprinter like Boonen and had a stage in the Giro and the other in the Vuelta. Would not give a great obituary, but there is always the typical action of attaching a list of those killed in bicycle races, and to compare his accident with the last one has been sounded (in this case that of Paolo Casartelli in 95). After this list
funeral, comes new news, as published in previous days, but now have more relevant as the fact that several cyclists cataloged the Giro 2011 (before start) Money as one of the most dangerous in history, with phases in narrow streets, and even high mountain areas unpaved. Weylandt add the misfortune to the default list of deaths in the saddle and statements Lastras, Sastre and Contador warning of the danger, which results in a sinister twist. The way things are, the Giro is dangerous, and warned Fomegnani Angelo, the director, as of Weylandt has been a terrible misfortune, and society and has a reason to put another heavy burden to cycling, one more.
Unfortunately, few stop to think that the Giro is one of the most legendary races and interesting to the viewer, who counter can regain the corsa rosa with Saxo Bank, or Igor Antón can put on a show in the Italian mountains.
