astana rider sliding out and into the wall-looked more like a moto gp crash : /

Has Wiggins come off again or just descending femininely again?

wiggins 8 mins down? jeez

aye, on the break. 1min(?) on His Nibs but they're strung out.

back to 34 secs.

C'mon twiggy.

It needs to stop bloody raining in Italy!

oof.

Quigley: "for so many riders they fall in sympathy, it's not necessarily that they've hit the same lack of grip situation but..." Dear lord.

fucking hell Sky. get back on and stop dicking about.

Are Henao and Uran up the road in the Nibz group then?

that's what Quigly thinks.

So probably not.

David Walsh says they are too. Plan B.

At least they'll have the beans to squire wiggo up the last climb now he's back on..

Gruppo compatto!

Those columbians look gnarly as fuck.

Gotcha!

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but the closeup images has piqued my curiosity on how the brake aero-fairings were not classed as aero-fairings - they don't look like part of the brakes, or essential to the frame?

Comments on Article 1.3.024:
Protective screens, aerodynamic shapes, fairings or any other device that is added or forms part of the struc- ture, and that is destined or has the effect of reducing wind resistance, are prohibited.
Article 1.3.024 establishes that aerodynamic assemblies and protuberances on the head tube are prohibited.

They probably mount the brakes to them so they become structural rather than purely aerodynamic additions.

Wiggo:

"Let's be honest I descended like a bit of a girl after that crash the other day... not to disrespect girls of course, I've got one at home..."

... in the basement...

weather remains an important factor. certain manly descenders of the peloton might try and put some more time into Wiggo today...

You'd think being Belgian and growing up on this wet island he'd be able to handle some wet corners. Oh, he's a trackie.. no bike skills.. can only turn one direction...

Quigley: "for so many riders they fall in sympathy, it's not necessarily that they've hit the same lack of grip situation but..." Dear lord.

He has a point though.. when you see someone deck it in front of you you're likely to get on the brakes = bye bye.

Ouchy. That's got to hurt like a cunt

^Sure, but poorly expressed.

Meanwhile... Allez Belkov!

bye Ryder

Hipster moustache on the Lampre squad. Thought it was Laner for a sec.

Can I like pantano?

If we're following the 'Anyonebutbumface' rule then yes, you can.

Go Cadel!
