Wouter Weylandt Biography

Wouter Weylandt is one of the most popular and richest Racer who was born on September 27, 1984 in Ghent, Flemish Region, Belgium.

The medical chief of staff of the Giro, Dr. Tredici, was right behind the accident in a service car and reported that he ran to Weylandt less than 20 seconds after the crash but, he said on Sky News, “…he was already and clearly dead upon impact. I had never seen such a thing before, such a sudden death.” Tredici also reported about the very severe trauma Weylandt’s contact with the wall had caused him: had Weylandt survived, injuries to his left foot and lower leg would likely have necessitated their amputation. The Giro d’Italia medical team and Garmin’s team doctor performed resuscitation attempts for around 45 minutes, drying Weylandt’s lungs, infusing liquids to counteract his large blood loss, and administering adrenaline and atropine to support and restart his heart beat and respiration. Meanwhile, an emergency team was rushing to the incident by helicopter. Upon their arrival, Weylandt was declared dead at the scene due to facial and basal skull fractures, as his injuries were too severe to allow resuscitation. It was determined that his heart had stopped immediately upon impact. Forensic exams the next day found extensive internal organ damage. This autopsy confirmed that the cyclist was “dead on the spot and did not suffer.” Weylandt was wearing a helmet, as all professional road cyclists have been obliged to do since May 2003.

In September 2004, Wouter Weylandt became a member of the team Quick- Step–Davitamon, participating in the Memorial Rik Van Steenbergen, Grote Prijs Jef Scherens and Circuit Franco-Belge, where he took twelfth place. He was part of the Belgian team in the under-23 category at the 2005 UCI Road World Championships.
