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

[Magnus]

Do you guys think that now Henao can have more freedom in the team?

Why would he?
He's behind Wiggins in GC and was slower than Wiggins on the final ramp, that should suit him.

 

[spalco]

speculation come from fanboys's faulty logic, he can't be sick yesterday why call back Uran and Henao? LOL

Wiggins is either sick, or he messed up his preparation. Or he's over his peak. What other explanation would you suggest for his performance today?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Intxausti 15th...

Stupid eurosport commentators being utterly ***

A new low. Missing Nibali in the finishing group yesterday and now this!!! I would hate to be relying on the TV for my info.

 

[Afrank]

He trained super hard for this ITT.

Clearly, it's paying off.

 

[woodburn]

Hesjedal looks like he is really struggling.

 

[The Sheep]

Kind of disrespectful of Intxausti how little tv time he gets

 

[virandociclista]

Party time, is not?

....or his preparation was all about the mountains

When did he peak?

Wiggins is either sick, or he messed up his preparation. Or he's over his peak. What other explanation would you suggest for his performance today?

I think it's probably a combination of a less than perfect preparation due to all the distractions he had from winning the TDF + olympics. Combined with a loss of confidence from his crash in the rain.

 

[Descender]

Where's Descender?

I'm here. It's not over till it's over.

 

[Red Rick]

I likevthe way rhis tt is going

 

[Ramira]

Tried that but no change with FFox, Chrome OK !

Ah that could well be, using Chrome myself.

He's behind Wiggins because of the team FFS!!!

 

[virandociclista]

Wiggins head (and form) is not in this race. He will lose more time tomorrow and give up next week, before the first real mountain stage!

Next, when wiggins will left the giro?

dumb and dumber

Kind of disrespectful of Intxausti how little tv time he gets

Even worse than Michael Rasmussens coverage in the Albi (was it?) time trial in TdF '07.

 

[Descender]

I honestly think RAI should apologise to Intxausti.

 

[will10]

Time check for Intxausti?

 

[JimPanzen]

[the sceptic]

[Cance > TheRest]

[Publicus]

Scarponi has recovered well.
