Evans in pink

Got to be questions asked about the sanity of 180 odd guys riding flat out on these kind of roads. I'll feel easier when we get to Italy.

David Millar is 5th in GC

Wiggins is at 32" down on the GC.

Guess he will be saving himself for the tour then

Some of the other big names lost time like vandervelde 24", Sastre 57". A shame but not be too worried.

Well Farrar was my pick today, so my fantasy squad is doing pretty well!

Sky got that all wrong IMO. Should have let the sprinters teams shut the break down and do the work. Should have done what Liquigas did and protected their main man, just off the front.Then hit the front in last 20 ks. Bradley s gonna be on his own in the tour if he doesnt get them sorted out.

Cos if he doesnt Astana and Saxobank are gonna rip them to pieces.

It will be interesting to see what Sky will try to do for the rest of the Giro, but I suppose any question of Wiggins going full out to win has now been settled. They do seem to be short of a good tactician either in the team or in the tream car, but it's early days so we will need to wait and see how things develop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much for those lovely safe Dutch roads for cycling then! Can't recall seeing so many people come off their bikes in one day since I used to race BMX.

Watch near the end when the vehicle passes the team about 3:20 in.

Most Dutch people cycle on the excellent separated cycle lanes, not on the roads - which as you can see, are not really maintained for bikes (and also have lots of tramlines too).
