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

[smutchin]

Danilo Di Luca wants to get to the post office before it closes to pick up his pension.

 

[tug benson]

roads are getting very wet, could be more falls

 

[raindog]

is Hansen going to get this?

 

[VamP]

is Hansen going to get this?

If he does I'd get drunk tonight! If I wasn't racing tomorrow

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Hansen is away! He's got this. Tangert chasing hard, but may be going out front for Nibali.

Wiggins is looking very uncomfortable, I have to say. Uran looks easy in contrast.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

And Nibali is going away from the rest...

 

[smutchin]

Hmmm. My optimisim over Wiggins is fading slightly.

 

[tug benson]

Nibali with a wee slide

 

[smutchin]

Nibali down, closely followed by Trofimov. Yikes!

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Nibali hits the deck spectacularly!

 

[VamP]

so slippery

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Hansen over the top of the last climb... he must have this.

 

[Strathlubnaig]

cracking slide from that pair, and hats off to Nibali for trying to make some progress and liven things up a wee bitty.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

There will a few more spills yet - the final descent is also slick.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Yep! Sella goes down again!
