Some good comments from Wiggo here in the Sky summary - he clearly seems happy with his ride, and that Martin is on another level:

Also, how great was Florence as a venue - really picturesque on the run in and great crowds

I got the ''40% off Wiggo's wardrobe'' mailing at 14:43. You can't have spent enough with them.

blimey - they must have had the time checks!

I suspect the timing will also be related to an imminent new Rapha designed shirt for next season.
I think it will feature the color black heavily. And asymmetric splashes of blue.

OMG! We are so over black shirts with asymmetric splashes of colour!

Yeh he sounds pretty happy to be riding his bike let alone winning silver. Hat off to the man.

Florence is a beautiful city. Spent a week there 2 years back, it was simply stunning.

But black is so slimming dahling.

3.17 pm. Wiggins finishes second
4.17 pm Evans offers Sky jerseys at 40% discount
o tempora, o mores!

Saw this around lunchtime today, I guess it's more to do with shifting stock + he won the ToB

I was alittle too close to the MD today to fire up iplayer, so Mrs Dr Bollo, working from home and following on tv, fed me regular emails in the style of the grauniad 'Minute by minute' coverage. Somehow made it just as exciting. I thank her publicly.

OPQS aside, Sky have some pretty hefty engines too. 3 Sky riders in the top 10 today. It's pretty impressive.

I've just had a look at the slightly baffling official route graphic and I've absolutely no idea who that course would suit. I'll take a punt on a breakaway sticking while the big boys mark each other out of it.

It's not often you see a podium that is the perfect reflection of who is the best in the world right now, but that men's ITT podium really is one of those. Not much to argue with there, whatever Taylor Phinney says about dropping his bottle - he was minutes behind not seconds.

Add froomie to that he would have been top 10 too. Shame the team TTT was without wiggo. Would hv made sky a lot closer to opqs
