Wouter Weylandt (27 September 1984 – 9 May 2011) was a Belgian professional cyclist for UCI ProTeam and later for.

2004

In September 2004, Wouter Weylandt became a member of the team, participating in the Memorial Rik van Steenbergen, Grote Prijs Jef Scherens and Circuit Franco-Belge, where he took twelfth place.

2005

He was part of the Belgian team in the under-23 category at the 2005 UCI Road World Championships.

Weylandt turned professional for in 2005, but this first professional season was marred by mononucleosis detected at the beginning of the year.

Towards the end of the season, he won the GP Briek Schotte, and finished fifth at the Memorial Rik van Steenbergen event and the National Award, demonstrating his excellent sprinting qualities.

2006

In 2006, his first full season, he finished fifth in the Three Days of West Flanders, then second in the Nokere Koerse, where he won the bunch sprint behind Bert Roesems.

During this season, he failed to achieve any victories, apart from the small GP Vichte, but showed great consistency in the sprint, in particular, winning the points classification of the Tour of Poland and finishing fifth in the Championship of Flanders.

2007

In 2007, Weylandt won further victories.

In March, he won a stage of the Three Days of West Flanders, which he finished second overall, 5 seconds behind Jimmy Casper.

Two weeks later, he won the Tour of Groene Hart, then finished fourth in the Grand Prix de l'Escaut.

On good form, he won three more stage wins during the rest of the season in the Tour of Belgium, the Ster Elektrotoer and the Eneco Tour.

Finally, during the Tour of Poland, he took advantage of a good performance with his team in the team time trial of the 1st stage to take the leader's yellow jersey for a day.

2008

His first major win was the 17th stage of the 2008 Vuelta a España.

2008 began just as well for Weylandt.

He won the sprint in Nokere Koerse, and finished second in the Tour of the Groene Hart, defeated by Tomas Vaitkus.

In April came one of the best performances of his career on the one-day races, finishing third in the classic Gent–Wevelgem behind Óscar Freire and Aurelien Clerc after a fierce sprint.

Late in the 2008 season, Weylandt took part in the Vuelta a España, his first grand tour.

2009

Following the death of his friend Frederiek Nolf at the Tour of Qatar in February 2009, Weylandt won two more victories early in the season.

He won the Memorial José Samyn race after a breakaway with Rémi Cusin, and four days later, he won another stage of the Three Days of West Flanders.

He finished eleventh in Paris–Roubaix in April.

In the absence of satisfactory results in late 2009 and early 2010, he was publicly criticized by the Quick Step manager Patrick Lefevere.

In May, he won the sprint of the third stage of the Tour of Italy.

Suffering from gastroenteritis requiring hospitalization, he left the race a few days later.

Although his contract at was not renewed, he gained a contract with another UCI ProTeam squad, the newly formed.

2010

He also won the third stage of the 2010 Giro d'Italia.

2011

He died in a crash during the third stage of the 2011 Giro d'Italia.

He was the second ranked sprinter on the squad, behind Daniele Bennati, and was placed in the team's squad for the 2011 Giro d'Italia as Bennati's lead-out rider.

Bennati dropped out of the race line-up a few days before the start, meaning Weylandt entered the contest as the team's main sprinter.

In stage 3 of the 2011 Giro d'Italia, Weylandt crashed while descending the, in the frazione Isola di Borgonovo, municipality of Mezzanego, suffering a fatal injury.

With some 17 km of the stage remaining, riders were going downhill in the final part of the descent, Weylandt trailing the main peloton, going perhaps 80 km/h.

According to Manuel Antonio Cardoso (a Team RadioShack rider who was trailing Weylandt), Weylandt looked back over his left shoulder at other riders before a slight left bend.

Weylandt lost control and hit the leading edge of a low concrete guard rail on the left side of the road with his foot and pedal.

He was thrown to the right side of the road, where he hit another obstacle.

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.

2017

He participated as lead-out rider for team leader Tom Boonen, but when he dropped out Weylandt seized his chance and won the 17th stage in Valladolid.

Building on the momentum of this victory, he took his fourth win of the season on the Omloop van de Vlaamse Scheldeboorden two weeks later.
