Giro D'Italia 2013

the timings for Wiggins are weird, he is back with the Maglia Rosa group now, have they all sat up for him?

Those big skid lids look nice and cosy for crappy weather.

I might invest.

Nope - they got confused as his team mates caught the peleton - he's over two minutes down.

so he is

Inner Ring reporting Uran caught behind the split as well.

I look forward to thousands of words from every news outlet all saying "IS THIS TEH END FOR WIGGLES" as he recovers from his sniffles

doubt he'll start tomorrow then, don't think his preparation was bad, just got done by the conditions. I dare someone to cite rule no. 5 or no. 9 to him....

True, but if Wiggins rides gingerly it's a stage like this one that has torn the peloton apart in the past.
Aggressive descending coupled with echolons in the valley bottoms sometimes transforms a tame stage into a game changer.

a real live prophet exists among us

anyone got a working feed mine have all gone down aaaargh

If Uran isn't in the lead group then this is a serious fuck-up by Sky...

Now being said that he is.

^ is this confirmed? Text ticker isn't updating quickly enough for my satisfaction

Inner ring tweeted it

there is one sky rider in the pink jersey group, not sure who it is

It is Uran - Sky have confirmed on Twitter

Must be Uran - everyone else will be under orders to go and give Wiggins a pat on the head and reassure him it will all be OK...

Looks like wiggins isn't going to be medalling in Giro d'Italia today then.

looks like the break will be caught too, so looks like a day for Cavendish

Wiggins now at 3 minutes

:(

hope Uran comes good-5mins back with major climbs to come is looking fatal, but then if nibs has to mark Uran...

Goodbye wiggins

this will be close!

Cavendish is boxed in..
