Giro D'Italia 2013

Softshell is marinating as we speak. Cadel's resurgence was impressive, he'll be a force in the Tour. Nibali was utterly dominant in a race that was all about HTFU, so respect for that, but the expected exciting race never materialised, given the conditions, Hesjedal and Wiggins form/illness and Astana's stranglehold on the race that was every bit as powerful looking as Sky were in last year's TdF.

Cav was a ray of sunshine though, pun intended. I think re-established himself as the dominant sprinter, and sets up a mouthwatering duel with Sagan and Greipel for green. Also great TT from Dowsett, making it five stage wins for the Manx and for the brits. Not bad for a country with a population of a little over 80,000.

Fixed. xxx
