2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 8: Gabicce Mare - Saltara 54,8 km ITT

[hrotha]

To be fair to Wigans, he crashed and had a mechanical, and he seemed to do ******-all since the Olympics through winter.

 

[Ramira]

The crash thing is getting more interesting. Rai radio is saying Wiggins crashed, Rai tv saying he didn't. Doubt we'll know for sure till Wiggins talks about it himself.

 

[the sceptic]

20s for the change, probably more for the crash, bad descending and bang you got 52s

Still, the "normal" Wiggins would be at least 1 minute ahead at this point.

I only have the cyclingnews ticker to go by, is it wrong? Dan Benson wrote that Wiggins already passed DiLuca, Henao and Kelderman.

That is correct.

 

[webbie146]

Hahahaha both Uran and Henao faster than Wiggins in an ITT.

Sky is such a joke of a team, they sacrificed both of those yesterday for nothing...

It's flat now so Wiggo can make up time. He might lose it in that last climb though?

 

[hfer07]

Pardon my ignorance but Who's the clown commentating next to Sean Kelly? annoying the least

 

[The Hitch]

Sky is really *** to destroy their Colombians for some Sir dude

Sky dont care that much if henao and uran win or even if they come top 2. They would get more out of wiggins podiuming the giro than that .

Eurosport said that too, but the clock tells you otherwise.

 

[Jelantik]

ow wilco and henao.... come on.. come on guys..

 

[burning]

That is correct.

What

 

[gerundium]

Kelderman overtakes Henao again. this is interesting.

 

[classicomano]

TAWK is only just warming up.

 

[Escarabajo]

Uran faster than Wiggo and the idiots at Eurosport don't say anything.

What an objective pair of comentators.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Kelderman and Henao getting to know each other.

 

[Panda Claws]

Lol Henao and Kelderman riding together. Must be embarrasing to ovetake someone for a few minutes, and then he overtakes you again.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman and Henao are doing a Duo ITT

 

[Eshnar]

If Wiggo had fallen we would have seen that for sure guys...

 

[DiscoPants]

Henao and Kelderman doing their own little TTT there.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Uran only 10 seconds up despite Wiggo having a crash and changing his bike.

 

[Publicus]

It's flat now so Wiggo can make up time. He might lose it in that last climb though?

It's not flat out. There is another climb (long drag), then 12KM of flat and then the final ramp at the end.

 

[roundabout]

Henao looks powerful but awkward next to WK.

Shows how important good cornering probably is in the first half.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

What

Maybe I'm confused.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Santambrogio now. Would be in 3rd but for DiLuca's stupidity yesterday.

I'm not sure if Di Luca waws stupid yesterday. Probably his job was to prevent the other GC contenders to take the bonus seconds infront of Santambrogio. It just looks bad because Santa actually outsprinted them. But you can't know that beforehand and if you have Di Luca you probably don't want to take chances.

 

[Ramira]

I love how Sky goes from an unbeatable cyborg machine to total idiots on this forum . They're a team with a very successful and effective strategy, but they have not flexibility. I don't think it's fair to call it "failing" without their methods they would not have won the tour yesterday. It just doesn't always work out.

 

[Netserk]

GC riders after first time check.

Henao
Uran +15
Wiggo +25
Kelderman +58
Pozzo +1'04
