Giro D'Italia 2013

Everyone is talking like it's sky's race to lose, but lets face it, they're way down on where they wanted and expected to be right now. Being 1 minute + down at this point was probably their worst case scenario. Not saying that Wiggins isn't going to be in pink tonight and he can't still win, but realistically its going to be a lot harder than what was expected from him when the race started.

I doubt Sky want the pink jersey yet, as defending for two weeks is an enormous task. Best to let someone else have it whilst you bide your time until the final week.

Conversely, Wiggins needs to get a decent amount of time back on his rivals today, so the pink jersey might come as a consequence of that.
