Giro d'Italia 2013, 4th-26th May - [Spoilers]

Next up, a pancake for the sprinters :

 

[woohoo]

The one thing it proves is that Wiggins has been silly - either he was silly in the first place for thinking that the rings worked but they didn't, or they do work and he is silly now for thinking that they don't!

Good analysis! Personally, I think that the availability of smaller chainrings (both actual and effective) is likely to be the main reason for the change (especially in the Giro) and, no doubt, the ever-present desire/need to keep the team's equipment sponsor happy.

I read an interview somewhere that he'd been training himself out of oval rings this year.

Interestingly, many users ride both round and oval rings. Oval rings for racing, round for training. You should not need to train out of them!

 

[Noodley]

I am just back home after a wee ride in the country - I used square rings and can report that they dinnae work!

 

[Rob3rt]

You didn't set them up in the correct alignment with your pedal stroke, sorry Noodley, you are just silly!

I think they call that wind, Noodles

It looks like Wurf is set for a long day out the front again but this time he's got Bobridge for company.

3 riders on the wrong carriageway!! I can't help hoping they end up on a junction

 

[triangles]

I've only been half watching,did I just hear that they were crossing the barrier as they were being approached by cars using the other carriageway??

Also were they able to get a musette in the end?

One of them stopped and grabbed his. Not sure if he switched back over though!

I wonder how the concrete is drying in the pothole at the end!!

Only one thing to say today:

Sempre Con Noi - 108 - Wouter Weylandt.

The Centurions have been down there fixing it no doubt, the word in the forum is that they might progress to tarmac when they've proven the new technology.

...and a mean slide off from one of the motorbikes!

 

[Sittingduck]

Bloody scooter riders!

 

[tug benson]

moped to heavy on the throttle

 

[Noodley]

Bouhanni for the win today!!!
