Giro d'Italia 2010

did schleck have an injury in the early part of the season?

Think he hit a car and injured his knee in December. Watched the ToC again yesterday and he looked a bit off at the back of the peleton on the flat.

Hopefully he'll be sorted for the Tour but it's not looking great.

It's his first race for a month and he never performs well in races he's not targeting. I'm sure his form will be spot on for the Tour.

David Millar has abandoned.

Crash?

Don't think so, I just read that he pulled out at the feed station.

Steve Cummings of Sky is away at the front. Maybe some luck for the Brits today?

Millar had some sort of flu - lost his voice

Wiggins is on the go

Cummings and Wiggins now together on the climb.

Brad busted by the replay!

LOL moment :D

Hah, I saw that too. :D

Evans looking strong. Vino being dropped.... :D

one minute i look and wiggins is off and then he's nowhere to be seen. what happened?

Nibali is doing well for someone who was training for the TdeF. Reminiscent of Contador at his best.

Nibali sounds like a crispy ice-cream based dessert. Sorry. Racist, I know.

I want to see that descent!!
Was following on text updates.
Sounded like a thrilling stage.

Choppers are close. Spilimbergo. Waiting

FFS no live coverage on Eurosport today. FAIL :(
