Giro d'Italia 2013, 4th-26th May - [Spoilers]

[thom]

If the forecast is correct and it stays wet for another 5 days at least, Wiggo will have his work cut out however he feels, Thom.

I refer you to the cricket thread if you want another place to squash my blind optimism

Great interview with Cav.

 

[Strathlubnaig]

And after all that they never gave us the GC standings !

 

[RecordAceFromNew]

the overhead was clearer, it was the two behind knocking elbows - Cav well clear.

With Cav around and his train starting to work, there is not much anybody else could do but racing for 2nd... It is probably going to be like the htc days again by the time of the Tour.

 

[Strathlubnaig]

Wiggins in 13th spot at 5'22" with Uran in 3rd place GC and Henao a few seconds ahead of Wiggins himself. Stars and Water Carriers ?

Apparently SKY have a new plan,
with Uran Uran.
Brailsford did what he can,
but Brad no longer is their main man.

 

[Get In The Van]

I would be very surprised if Brad rides the rest of the Giro, he'll drop out and then be back for the Tour......... or maybe the Vuelta

 

[neilb1906]

Wiggos lack of pre Giro wins did not bode well IMHO.

Froome was the right choice to lead Sky @ TDF.

 

[rich p]

Did anyone see what happened to Orica-Greenedge and MH Goss in particular? Did they take the wrong exit at a roundabout again?

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

Apparently SKY have a new plan,
with Uran Uran.
Brailsford did what he can,
but Brad no longer is their main man.

Poet and.................

You know it!!

Missed today's race, gutted for Sir Brad, pleased for Sir Cav - the thread makes for a good catch up read by the way ; it's like heavily edited commentator comments, except maybe more factual - not sure I can face the whole race highlights, might just catch the finish.

Here's the highlights :

Here's some lowlights :

Bouhanni is so knackered he won't start tomorrow.

 

[Radchenister]

Yuk, awful weather - have they moved the race to Wales or something?

 

[Peteaud]

I am thinking the same.

 

[Fuzzball]

Sky should already of been riding for Uran today rather than messing about trying to keep Wiggins in it when he is obviously knackered, and lets face it his descending was awful so far anyway. Now Uran has very little chance of challenging after today total waste of tour for the team.
