Giro D'Italia 2013

fuck, nibbles smashed that

Nibs smashed it up.

With the rain it was like the Tour de Francis all over again too.

^ Yeah for real

Game over - Uran to push for 2nd overall?

4 min over Cadel and Uran
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Is it just me, or is Sanchez quite regularly sitting in the hot seat, waiting to just about not win a time trial stage? Bet he's pretty bored of it by now!

Uran 10 secs from usurping Evans from the 'Betancourt Honorary Victor' spot on GC.

I'm glad spaghetti man Mr Nibbles won, a GT winner needs to win a stage for it to really count.

Who spewed at the finishline?

4'02" lead for the Nibbler. Is it all over?

It's been all over for about a week.

Fight for second place now if we get any decent mountains over the next couple of days?

fight for the white jersey will be more interesting. Sky should sign Betancourt to replace Uran if he moves to another team.

Fucking hell, Nibs.

+1 White jersey comp is excellent.

Who spewed at the finishline?

According to the Guardian it was Fabio Duarte who 'chundered his guts up at the finish line'

Thankyou internets. Puke and rally, that's whats up.

Nibali insanely dominate at the Giro, wonder if an inform Wiggo could have even got close. Certainly does his work from last season.

However so far its been a bit of a Sky-esque tour-de-force rather than any panache-fuelled duels in the high mountains. And any exciting racing is difficult to pick out from all the rain, snow and fog.

^^ ooof. I know that feel bro.

"@CadelOfficial: Uphill TT done here at the Giro: Nibali in a class of his own. Evans -if I may say so myself- abysmal...."
Shame, I really wanted Cadel to fight it out.

Bit of an anti-climax now really with Nibali so far in the lead and the proper high mountains out of it.

Not sure whether it might help Cavendish in the points classification?

I'm so excited about seeing him and Greipel going head to head at the Tour. Lotto have got a phenomenal train which looks very well drilled from what I've seen of Tour of Belgium.

I've started getting excited about it now that this looks pretty much over.

Nibali is amazing.
Shame for Cadel.
Uran showing you how to pace properly, massive negative split.

Massive negative split means you probably haven't paced properly. Nibali probably wins on the pacing front.

Pacing is key on all time trials, if you start too fast it can be catastrophic.

ftfy

I thought Evans would be stronger today too. Bugger.

fight for the white jersey will be more interesting.

It already is.

Go Rafal!
