2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 9: Sansepolcro - Firenze 170 km

Sky have bridged the gap apparently.

 

[Walkman]

SKY caught Evans and Nibali?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

This. +100000000000

because they know Wiggins is clearly not going to be a factor anyway. Not with this sort of descending, so why waste energy when Wiggins will more or less disable himself in a later descent anyway

 

[webvan]

So Uran and Henao with Nibali? I can't believe there is no group composition available anywhere, horrible coverage.

And now everyone seems to be back together? RAI, WTF ?!

They better keep riding hard.

 

[infeXio]

Wiggins group getting back. Why on earth not just shut him down by drilling it.

 

[jamesmasters]

Sky have bridged. Fail by Wiggins on the descends but that is to be expected - even bigger fail by Astana in letting him get away with his giraffe on ice descending.

 

[Lexman]

the're almost back together just right before the climb, Wiggins to attack

When will Gesink do his yearly act

 

[Publicus]

Maybe the goal is to try and break Wiggins over the Cat 3--they are going to use a ton of energy chasing back on similar to the Giro del Trentino and Nibbles should attack just as he returns (if he returns).

 

[infeXio]

Stupid stupid stupid

 

[taiwan]

Anyone know the whereabouts of Visconti etc? Probably not, but Garate could be in pink.

Not that strange. The gap is between the front of the peleton and the front of the Wiggins group. The peleton is easily 20 seconds long, so a 25 gap means Wiggins is only 5 seconds behind the back of the group.

 

[Jelantik]

LOL.. while the astana team and garmin are busy keeping the tempo high, Nibali is busy eating.. LOL

 

[Descender]

Wiggins didn't use to be as bad a descender as he's shown himself to be in this Giro. Weird.

They are but Sky is riding harder.

 

[Squire]

I'm pretty sure I saw Uran with Wiggins when they showed the Sky train in front of Wiggins a while ago. Unless there is another Sky rider with long hair. Doesn't matter if they've bridged though.

 

[Cyivel]

Graphic says still behind

 

[Scott SoCal]

The last two climbs might be a great place for Ryder or Evens to throw down the chili. Make Wigans blow his team up then crawl down the descents.

 

[Descender]

RAI stop trolling us pretty please.

well 9th stage now... Should be now or first mt stage...

Yup I agree that's the situation.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wiggo still 24 seconds back.

 

[ILovecycling]

Do you have a proper RAI stream please?

 

[Publicus]

Video says he's (Wiggins) is still behind

 

[Miburo]

How much will Wiggins lose?

My guess is 3 minutes.
