What happened? Puncture?

The electronic gear shifting wasn't working, is what I read.

EDIT:

Problems with his electronic gearing forced Wiggins to come to a stop at the base of the climb just as Astana were winding up the pace en masse for Nibali. A frustrated Wiggins tossed his bike to the roadside as he waited for a change

What happened? Puncture?

Electronic gear shifting let him down and he went from being in with a good chance of winning the Giro del Trentino to coming in about 1.5 minutes down after waiting for his spare bike from the team car.

Is Wiggo`s prep for the giro going to plan ?
I remember last year he dropped a chain last year at the tour of romandie and said that normally he would have slung his bike down the ravine whereas last year he seemed more confident ?

Still Prefer David Millar's

^^^ Someone may have snaffled up a fantastic bike lacking a chain... mind you the damage he probably caused throwing it so hard may have made it more expensive to fix in a petulant fit of temper- don't justify try and it by saying he's a professional sportsman let down by his equipment...

If you listen carefully you can hear him say "I've had enough i want a f**ki*n Specialized".

 

[mirrorman]

That's what you get when you buy you're bike from halfords !!
