2013 Road World Championships: Men's Road Race, Lucca-Firenze 272.2 km

[SafeBet]

Just turned it on. Can someone tell me what happened until now? I heard of many people retiring.

Italy drilled it since the very first lap in Firenze. Mainly during descents. Plenty of splits occured during the race. Plenty of crashes too. List of DNF at the bottom of this list: http://static.sportresult.com/federations/uci/CR2013/

I think Froome has jumped off

 

[Flamin]

the lap statistics are useless though, seems like at least 10 guys lost their transponder. I can see their faces, they are there, yet according to the live timing, they aren't.
Doesn't make sense

They lost their transponder, so they're not in the official results. How doesn't that make perfect sense?

Rain and Italy happened

Not exactly a good advertising for Italian weather this year :S

I think Froome has jumped off

"Chris Froome is no longer being recorded by the timing system, which suggests that he has abandoned the race. We await official confirmation."
