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

[Strathlubnaig]

Giro over for Ryder I'm afraid, that's one too many Jour sans already.

He is really toiling. Maybe he has Wiggins' bug now. What are the odds he DNS tomorrow ?

 

[Strathlubnaig]

holy mackinaw, Sky lost a rider oot the back ! Better change his batteries quickly.

 

[smutchin]

I hope Sky aren't using up their riders too early - Cataldo is done for and they've dropped Zandio too. And there's still another huge climb to come...

Edit: Kelly just said Henao isn't in the group either, which is a bit alarming. Or not in the train, at least - he might be hidden further back in the group.

Does anyone know how narrow the roads are over the top of the hill?

I thought Henao was sitting in behind Suitsov.

Yep, Henao, Uran and Suitsou are all still with Wiggins.

Let's see what Nibali does on the descent... it's very very twisty.

I assumed that was Henao too but I'm not sure.

As predictably as Sky setting the pace on the climb, Nibz is attacking on the descent. Excellent!

Sean Kelly clearly having an attack of the Liggetts.

 

[Strathlubnaig]

Theres a few wet patches on the descent, Wiggins better get his granny legs on again.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Sky just following Nibali's line downhill...

 

[Radchenister]

Working here, so not watching closely ... who's in the tight descending group - Sky are right on it aren't they?

Updates from the eagle eyed folks appreciated .

CN live feed has Henao dropped and Uran, Wiggins, Cataldo and Siutsou still up front.

 

[beastie]

What a lovely part of the world. That descent looks ace.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Yes, there are three Sky men immediately behind Nibali and Kangert. Henao isn't 'dropped' - he's just a few men back. Came over the top a couple of seconds behind the other Sky riders.
