Hello and welcome to live coverage of stage three of the Giro d'Italia, an undulating 173km affair from Reggio Emilia to Rapello. The riders are due to start at 11:55 GMT.

Sad news just in: Wouter Weylandt has died following that tragic crash. The thoughts of everyone at Yahoo and Eurosport are with Weylandt and his family.

Thanks for joining us today - and be sure to keep checking the website for news of Wouter Weylandt's condition.

David Millar will be in pink tomorrow after Mark Cavendish lost time at the finish.

TV images are showing an air ambulance hovering over the area where Wouter Weylandt suffered that terrible fall.

Victory for Spain's Angel Vicioso (Androni Giocattoli) ahead of Millar and Pablo Lastras (Movistar). But the finish will be overshadowed by that terrible accident involving Wouter Weylandt of Leopard Trek. Still no news on his health, but we will keep you posted.

Millar leads the five into the last corner, but it's Vicioso who takes the win.

Under the flamme rouge... there are two more men in pursuit... Le Mevel leads the five out.

The leaders have 18 seconds so it's not a fait accompli...

It looks like the peloton has given up. The four leaders continue to power to the finish. Lastras, Vicioso, Moreno and Le Mevel. With Millar in pursuit. Yes, the Brit has made the connection, so Garmin now have two riders there.

David Millar is trying to get across the the breakaway group. Meanwhile, Sastre has bonked at the back of the peloton.

It's not just curtains for Cav: Tyler Farrar has to change a wheel and so that will do away with his chances today. There are still four out ahead, including Christophe Le Mevel.

NEWSFLASH: The Leopard Trek rider is Weylandt and he is still receiving cardiac massage and adrenaline on the ground before a probably airlift to hospital. Keep everything crossed.

The peloton is strung out as it zooms down the descent towards the coastal town of Rapallo.

Pink jersey Mark Cavendish is gritting his teeth but he's more than a minute back on the front of the bunch...

Geox's Carlos Sastre seems to be suffering on this climb. It may be because he's riding his team-mate Mauricio Alberto Ardila's bike (according to its race number).

Just to confirm: the identification of the Leopard Trek rider who suffered that terrible fall has not been confirmed. Reports say it is Wouter Weylandt but it is not a 100% certainty - presumably because the host broadcaster is not showing any images of the scene.

With their black, blue and white shirts, it's very hard to tell the difference between riders from Sky, Garmin and Leopard. Yet again, Omega Pharma-Lotto are there - what an attacking race they're having. A Vacansoleil rider has joined them, but the gap is way too small to stick.

The peloton approaches the Madonna delle Grazie climb, with an average gradient of 6.9%. Straight away an Omega Pharma Lotto rider attacks, followed by Leopard Trek, Sky and Garmin riders.

It's all over for the four leaders who have the peloton breathing right down their necks.

No news on the health of Weylandt as yet. The four leaders have 24 seconds on a Lampre-led peloton as they pass the 15-to-go banner.
