Clearly within the context of "it being his job" Weylandt's dead is tragic.
I'd say that within
any context WW's death is tragic.
As is the "Strava guy" death.
But if you take WW's death as being "valid" (for lack of a better word) then so is "Strava guy's".
It's in the job description - the risk/reward ratio is different than for recreational thrill seekers.
Says who?
Maybe this guy has been doing high speed cycling descents his entire life. Maybe he had the potential to be a full-up pro, but made other life choices and took a different path. Who is to say that he didn't correctly understand the risk he took, calculated it correctly, but still got caught out, just like WW?
