Leopard Trek awarded Bonacossa Trophy at Giro d'Italia

Instead of a rider, which has always been the case since the inception of the award in 1989, a team, Leopard Trek, has earned the Bonacossa Trophy at this year's Giro d'Italia in the name of their rider Wouter Weylandt who tragically died during stage 3. The Luxemburg ProTeam crossed the finish line of stage 4 in Livorno ahead of the peloton and withdrew from the Italian Grand Tour the same evening.
