Horrible weather

Are the riders allowed radios or are they only used in world tour events?

EDIT - BBC coverage just answered that one

Terrible weather innit
Wiggo's somewhere near the back apparently. He won't relish that horrible descent in this rain but then who, Nibali apart, would!

I had a dream last night that wiggo attacked froome with cancelara on the last climb. They both worked hard and tt'd away to the line and I woke up so I don't know who won....

 

[rich p]

Wiggins is MIA according to Boardman

The Italians are all on the front and pushing it hard

It's on the red button here but not thru Freeview apparently

on sky red button bbc1 seems to just say coming up world champ cycling.... doh!

we now have lift off! yey

 

[rich p]

GB/Sky's tactics really baffle me. They were on the front all the way to the circuits, pulling the entire peloton along and then splinter. Why?

wiggo and cav pulled out
