Seems that since he wasn't a Brit there's no mention of this a week later from http://www.tekforums.net/sports-hobbies-cycling/rip-dan-wheldon/
(I apologise in advance if I missed the thread)
Sadly he passed after a horrific crash in the MotoGP bike race early Sunday morning (our time)
He really was just coming into his own.. such a waste :(

It was awful to watch.
I wont be suprised if Rossi retires now.
Dave.
It's such a shame, such a terrible accident :/
You could see he was having trouble with grip a couple of turns earlier but what happened is just completely bonkers :/
