Giro D'Italia 2013

Same here. I could understand if he was just hiding in the bunch but Cadel manages to do just that and still show himself when it counts (ie. 2nd place, 6th place, etc). You don't see him on camera but he's up there. Wiggo's off the back, on the deck, in the cars, etc. Whatever he's doing he's not riding like someone looking to win.

+1 For most of the last 30km you couldn't pick Wiggins out in the Pink Jersey group in the arial shots. All the other contenders were up there staying out of trouble and you had to wait for the camera to pan back before you spotted anyone from Sky. When Nibali went, Wiggins got dropped from the chase group when even Paulini managed to hold on. Then when Wiggins fell it looked like he didn't even try to get back to the Nibali group, the Sky riders who went back for him had to sit up and wait even when they were on the flat.

I'm not writing him off, and tomorrows TT could see him getting a lot of ground back but it's not looking promising so far.
