Giro d'Italia cyclists, sporting black armbands, have ridden a "stage of respect" for Wouter Weylandt, the Belgian rider was killed in a crash on stage three of the tour.
Stage four didn't count towards the overall tour results, and each team rode at the front of the field for 10 kilometres, and Weylandt's Leopard Trek team led the peloton across the finsih line of the coastal stage.
26 year old Weylandt died yesterday from multiple injuries after he fell and tumbled down a back on a steep descent.
The Italian doctor who carried out an autopsy yesterday said the popular Belgian, who fractured his skull, died instantly and wouldn't have suffered.
Weylandt's partner is due to give birth to their first child in September.
