Giro D'Italia 2013

Hansen like a bag of spanners on that last climb, go on fella

Wiggogins crashes on that slippery, recently-resurfaced bend, along with many others.

Ooof, he hit the deck hard!

Is Wiggins injured or why is he going so slowly? Ultra-cautious.

Great race by Hansen.

Top win by Hansen on a tuff stage.

Oh dear. Wiggins has lost over a minute.
And who knows if he's really injured himself.

BW out of the top 20 ?

1.20 lost on His Nibs...

I like Benat Inxxausxxixssxiixixi. lorra inappropria' consonants going on there.

BW out of the top 20 ?

It's survival of the fittest.

Fucking Rai. my head hurts.

Show a bloody overall standings graphic damn you and save my 0.5 meg commodore equipped brain the effort of separating individual words from your staccato 1000 word per minute lingo.

for those of you only watching the giro for Wiggins, you can have your afternoons back.

^ people are doing that?!? why??

Now that's bike racing. Yes Yes Yes.
Epic win.

Yep, definitely getting a bit more exciting now. Bet today is going to be haunting Wiggins for a while!

There's still over 2 weeks of racing to go, there will be plenty more twists and turns before we know who the winner is.

That's a bold statement Andy. I'd say the race is as good as over already.

It's worse. I am having to depend on this thread and the Guardian live updates. Thus I only know what about 4 riders are doing per stage.

Still I have the next 2 weeks off. Eurosport will be on when I am home.

Sorry, by 'the race is over' I meant 'giro di'Italia 2013 is over'.

Anybody else chosen their God yet? Geropolis of gtfo.

Geropolis, made of sport!

That's a bold statement Andy. I'd say the race is as good as over already.

You're right. Can we get back to talking about the TdF now then?

That's an interesting first comment in this thread, unless I missed a less interesting one earlier.

Jimmy gave you some rep for that

Right where the fuck has the highlights package disappeared to? Think I found one on Eurosport two at half past fucking 4am or something and nowt on Sky
