Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, 18-24 March 2013 [spoilers]

Well, he's showed his hand pretty early - Sky have attacked en masse, led by Wiggo, with 15km to go, and have opened up a decent gap already. Quite a statement of intent.

Wiggo appears to have his mojo back? ... making a statement anyway!

It depends on the parcours whether he can, or wants, to win it but he needs to show some good form at the very least. Last year he made a point of saying that getting to peak shape and winning for a prolonged period is achievable and desirable. This is his chance to show himself and us he can do well in the giro.

Aggressive riding by Sky! Great to see

I'm on Sky box at home - should be on Cycle Fans or similar; coverage shaky today due to host tv problems.

a select group led by Sky, Cataldo and Wiggo, has got away from the peloton descending the last cat3 climb!

 

[smutchin]

The gap is only getting bigger and bigger as they approach the finish. Up to 32 seconds now. This is seriously impressive stuff from Sky.

The peloton are panicking and Greenedge have just taken a wrong turn!

 

[rich p]

lol at Orica!

 

[raindog]

LOL - Brad has caused Panic in the Peloton

 

[smutchin]

Scarponi, Gesink, Valverde, Dan Martin and Rodriguez are in the escape. No Hesjedal.

 

[musa]

Very exciting
