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

[the sceptic]

oh dear.. Evans same time as Scarponi

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

+1:33 on Evans

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Evans at 1.33

Everyone loses time

 

[The Sheep]

Evans weak second half

 

[virandociclista]

I prefer to see the real contenders then a "temp' maglia rosa! So, for me is ok!

 

[JimPanzen]

That's no excuse. Wiggins, crashed, had a flat tire, fought off a wild boar, cleaned the Augean stables and STILL finished 2nd.

Heroic. Epic.

plus he waited for Nibali and pulled him during the first section. Sky team bus is also clean now.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Evans not impressive. Let's see the last bit though.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Level of competition is ridilously low

 

[Afrank]

Age catching up with Cadel looks like. Maybe can still grab a stage somewhere though.

 

[Publicus]

Let's see how Evans covers the last 3.5KM

 

[the sceptic]

Nibali could put 2 minutes into Evans here

 

[Cance > TheRest]

wiggins gained 1.04 on Cadel between 1st and 2nd check :O

 

[Winnen]

plus he waited for Nibali and pulled him during the first section. Sky team bus is also clean now.

According to Twitter he rode the whole way backwards.

 

[Parrulo]

Is just me or Nibali's position looks very different from his old position?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Everyone seems to lose time in the 2nd part except Wiggins

 

[hrotha]

I feel bad for Evans, but then I think of Samu and remember Cadel isn't handling age that badly.

 

[maxmartin]

Nibali slows down!

 

[Descender]

I thought I saw the Pink Panther running below some trees.

 

[Ramira]

Hmm wonder if Nibali is following Kangerts benchmarks. If he is he should win this easy, as Kangert didn't lose any time on Dowsett between the two checkpoints.

loving this meme, have to say #whatkeptwiggo

 

[roundabout]

Hesjedal must be going badly as well, or being ignored

 

[the sceptic]

Sir Brads time starting to look a bit better now

 

[maxmartin]

yep they did quite a bit work in his position on the new TT bike

Same as Dauphine last year, can't pace himself anymore oddly enough...we'll see how much he gains on Dowsett in the last section, Wiggins gained 49" and Scarponi 43"...

How is Santambrogio doing?
