Hat's off, 'respect for your opponent' n all that, Nibali did well.

If Wiggins had not lost his nerve yesterday he'd be well in the lead today and we would have had a British 1-2. As it is, we've got the 1-2 albeit in a different order than normal - let's hope it at least gives Bradley his head back and he can start to regroup.

Feels slightly anticlimactic for Intxausti.

To put Nibali's performance in perspective, yes, it was a technical, hilly course but all the other top 8 finishers were time trial specialists.
And that makes Henao's 9th place look all the more impressive too.

Can anyone realistically see Wiggo clawing that back from Nibali? Looking at the overall standings, it seems Sky still have it all to do rather than defend which was their plan.
Wasn't it actually DB that said the plan was to take Pink TODAY and no earlier? Maybe it does go to show what everyone is saying about the Giro being unpredictable?
