Giro d'italia SPOILER

[John the Monkey]

I suppose not and I guess this and the next few stages may give some perspective on that but as we've said many times, that's the trouble with drugs in sport, you become cycnical about good rides.

I know, I know. I'm trying not to be, tbh. If he'd turned up in every tough stage I'd be more sceptical, but I think (and may be proved wrong) that that's not the case - he looked a bit rubbish compared to Nibbler in the first weeks (again, imo).

Wiggins is an very, very good hillclimber... but he may not be at his best, judging on the other day.

The easiest way to see which streams are working, for any stage of any race, is to go through http://www.cyclingfans.com

This is a brutal climb once it gets on to the dirt! And thankfully no sign of rain (which would have meant the last part being cut).
