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

[raindog]

Why doesn't Brailsford just read the riot act? He's in charge FFS. He could start by telling Froome to get his GF to stfu about bike racing on twitter. Then he could tell Brad to avoid answering questions on the Tour leadership untill closer to the bloody race. Seems simple to me.
It's getting on me nerves, it is.

^^^^ That's the only thing that made me think publicity stunt. Brailsford don't suffer no fools!!

Hmmm, Froome came in 3 minutes 21 seconds behind Wiggins.

Though we all know it's not as simple as that... anyway, I am a bit surprised Froome's fiancee felt the need to go public. It's not like anyone involved will give two hoots what she thinks.

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

@Buddfox - i think people will assume that it's from the horses mouth. It is quite possible that Froome talks to his fiance about these things. Why though she feels the need to stick her oar in is beyond me.

It might be worth starting another thread on Froome v Wiggins instead of clogging up the Giro one with all this tittle tattle.

Yes and don't forget Noodley's Tour spoilers thread. It's nearly dropped off the first page!

Yep, ludicrous ... so 2 months ahead of the TdeF last year's winner is being written off as a has been and this year's (admittedly better suited) favoured rider is being portrayed as acting like a primadonna; come on, there's a long way to go yet and surely the smart guys at Sky can suss how to get them both out there in good positions?

Perhaps the WAGS should just butt out of muddying the waters in the social media (?) - over sensationalised nonsense, now being blown out of proportion like some sort of playground argument over who owns the football.

Back to the Giro (hopefully) ...

it's my ball!

This is what happens when we don't have any actual cycling to talk about. Can't wait for Saturday...

Here are some people speculating in Australia for you instead ;-)

Basso out.
Shame, not.

I don't have Sky. Is there any way I can watch highlights at least either on Freeview or though broadband?

 

[Radchenister]

Yes - usually a live link available somewhere and catch ups available on YouTube - pm me nearer the time if you're struggling and usually people post the YouTube summary on here when it's available.
