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

[Zofo]

Scarponi 20 secs up on Wiggo at first check

OT, I bloody hate that poxy talking San Miguel ad

Double OT - I've been watching that ad since last summer and only just realised that it is supposed to be the beer talking! ("I have touched the lips of many women ..." just as a bottle of SM does ...) - D'oh!

Back to the cycling ... I said a few days ago that Wiggins looked ill, and I still reckon that he isn't feeling physically right. Either that, or he is getting depressed again.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I think it's mental not physical.

Kangert just outside Dowsett's time - he's really in with a shot of this stage today.

 

[smutchin]

Interesting - Kangert was well down at the first split so it's not all over for Brad...

 

[Flying_Monkey]

That last slope is a bit of a killer at the end of a long TT though, isn't it?

 

[ColinJ]

Is your picture ridiculously speeded up? (It might be some weird internet buffering issue on my system but the riders appear to pedalling at 200 rpm!)

Yes, Cavendish looked absolutely wrecked when he finished.

Dowsett's time was a very good one.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Ryder Hesjedal is looking like Wiggins usually does... and Brad is still 59 seconds down.

 

[tigger]

Wiggins 59 down at second split?

 

[Zofo]

59 secs down

 

[ColinJ]

I rebooted Eurosport Player and the picture is okay again!

 

[smutchin]

Did Kelly just say Wiggo was going to lactate?

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Evans looking great too.

 

[tigger]

Gesink only 41 down

 

[Zofo]

Evans is really going for it....
