Giro D'Italia 2013

With a 25 point lead pretty good.

I'd think, with the stages to come, then Cadel Evans is a better bet at the moment.

I was surprised he went for a stage win today after yesterday, I'm not surprised he's knackered. I think he's getting stronger though, I really think he can do it.

Where was Goss today then, thought he saved himself yesterday to compete today?

Hanging back with his Bros?

Apart from where he got boxed in and had to give someone a firm nudge to get them to move over.

I enjoyed that part - no fucking about, this is mine!

He's saving himself for next year. Obviously.

They may also need to rething sundays route.

Dropped on the final lump, so far as I could see. Finished over 15 minutes back.

^^ pro bike antiporn

That's actually the first Venge I've seen that I like

Could have been good with special edition SRAM green

They may also need to rething sundays route.

Peleton switches to fat bikes for final cople of Ks to the col?

Lets hope so.

Goss is suffering from the Giraids too

That looks like a kid's bike. Is he on 650c wheels?

Great win today. He opened it up so early after bullying his way out. No different to Bouhanni I suppose but Cavendish has sort of earned the right.

at least it's not got Tour of Francis "Smashing it up and down a river"

The Horror

Jesus. I forgot about that waste of skin. Hopefully we've seen the last of him.

Where is he now? I miss those little updates.

with all the negative commentary Francis got he's probably sitting under a flyover somewhere with Lance and Phil sharing a needle and staring vacantly at mouldering concrete pillars having flogged all his cycling gear to fund his habit...

Sweet Irony as the BBC only now starts to show the event this weekend.

The Giro d'Italia continues with Sir Bradley Wiggins aiming to win the race as part of a possible double with the Tour de France. Live text and reports feature on the BBC Sport website, app and mobile site.

if you think that's a kid's bike... look at Pozzovivos's:

The RaiSport highlight show had a short montage to Hesjedal and Wiggo last night. Ryder was portrayed in a bit more of a sympathetic light.

Because he was getting dropped on the climbs not the descents?

Despite Wiggo been a good Giro for our mob, 5 stage wins and counting

Inner ring reporting that the galibier is off on sunday. Which looking at the picture higher up the page cannot be too surprising.

"In addition it seems that Sunday’s Galibier stage will be substantially shortened after the French government préfet has ruled the snow and avalanche danger is too high for the Mont Cenis and Galibier summit finish, instead it’s likely tomorrow’s stage finishes above Valloire so after the Col du Télégraphe but only on the start of the Galibier."

Crap.
