168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia race director Angelo Zomegnan will leave it to the riders themselves to decide how best to honour the memory of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Wouter Weylandt, 💎who died after crashing on the descent of the Passo del Bocco on stage three.

Speaking at a press conference in Rapallo on Monday evening, Zomegnan explained that race organisers RCS Sport would respect wh🅺atever decision the riders took regarding the running of stage four to Livorno.

"We will leave it to the riders of Leopard Trek and to all of the other rꦏiders of the Giro d'Italia the freedom to choose how they wish to interpret tomorrow's stage," he said. "Whatever decisಌion they take, we will respect it."

Zomegnan also outlined that the Giro would maintain a somber tone on the♎ road to Livorno, with a minute's sil💟ence to be observed before the start. Following the conclusion of Monday's stage, the race organisers respectfully kept the post-stage presentation ceremonies to a minimum, with no music played on the podium.

At the 1995 Tour de France, race organisers were roundly criticised for continuing as normal☂ with jersey presentations in the wake of Fabio Casartelli's death on the descent of the Col de Portet d'Aspet.

"Tomorrow morning, we will repeat what happened at Alba in honour of the memory of Pietro Ferrero," Zomegnan said, noting the Alba choco♛latier and cycling enthusiast's death earlier this year. "Tomorrow afternoon, according to what happens in the stage, we will get rid of the music, cancel the festive atmosphere and keep things low key, as happened in the final 10km of today's stage."

Alth💛ough Weylandt was pronounced dead on the scene, theဣ race organisers sensitively delayed making an official announcement on the matter until the Belgian's partner, Sophie, had been informed of the tragedy.

"We didn't want to announce the news of the death before the family in⛦formed his wife of what had happened, because she was driving home at the time and she would have found out by listening to the radio," Zomegnan said.

Zomegnan was set to travel to Milan's 💯Malpensa airport late on Monday evening a delegation from RCS Sport to meet Sophie Weylandt on her arrival in Belgium.

RAI television was praised for not replaying ✃images of Weylandt's crash, and Zomegnan said that there would be an inquest into his death.

"Magistrates wil♔l work to establish the dynamics of the event, and this reconstruction will take place by talking to riders close w♏ho were close to Wouter at that moment," he said.

Officials questioned RadioShack rider Manuel Cardoso, who witnessed the crash. The team's press agent Philippe Maertens confirmed to Cyclingnews that Weylandt was by himselꦓf at the time of the crash, about 50m ahead of a group containing Cardoso on the high-speed descent.

"Wouter was dropped and tried to come back in the group. He then looked behind to see if it would be better to wait for the other dropped guys," Maertens recalled Card🃏oso's statements. "While looking behind he hit with his left pedal or left side of his handlebars a small wall and was catapulted to the other side of the road where he hit again something."

Race doctor Giovanni Tredici, who was the first on the scene immediately after the crash, was at the Rapallo pr꧃ess conference to answer questions regarding the treatment the stricken Weylandt received on the roadside. He outlined that the attempted resuscitation had lasted 45 minutes, but that it was immediately apparent that the situation was very serious.

"Unfortunately the situation was already desperate at the moment in which we in🐲tervened," he said. "I was the first on the scene as I was in the car directly behind the peloton, and I think I intervened within 20 seconds, 30 at t🍒he most, just enough time to let the other riders pass."

A mobile resuscitation unit arrived within in two minutes, and the seriousness of 🐈Weylandt's condition meant that it was necessary for him to be treated immediately on the roadside.

"When the mobile resuscitation unit arrived we continued rea🌄nimation on the road as the urgency 🎀and drama of the situation required an immediate intervention," he said.

Dr. Tredici paid tribute to 𝔉the resuscitation unit, and to the help of Garmin-Cervélo doctor Shannon 🍬Sovndal.
