Giro not a total loss for Sky...

The thing we all want to know is how does this impact the Consolidated Team Depth Rankings?

The big question is how does this impact the Consolidated Team Depth Rankings?

Haha

And agreed, the asian point is totally meaningless in terms of WT points.

............


Also this 2nd is quite important to sky ( unlike what others said .. ) as Sky biggest market in europe outside GB is ... surprise surprise ... Italy...

2nd in GC definitely got them some increased coverage, publicity etc.

Racing is not as important as having good numbers in training.

Don't worry.

Berlusconi will pass a law to stop Sky television and cycling team.

Where from Gaol?

Funny to think that Uran was Sky's plan C and ended up in 2nd place. Henao was their plan B after the time trial but he was too tired and running on fumes in the second half of the race.

2nd is a great achievement for Sky they will probably podium all 3 GT'S this year now. I think Uran did great he has max'd his talent imo 2nd in the Giro who would of though Uran could do that? maybe Vuelta(punchier climbs) but not the Giro.
And i dont get the Asian i really dont, like Sky are gonna miss those points fool. Im sure Sky would rather get GT podium with a rider who is supposed to be leaving than get absoloute nothing dont ya think?.

I agree with the poster that said Sky couldn't have expected much more. Even as top favourite, Wiggins' win was never a foregone conclusion, and if he had been looking good early on Uran would have been held back.

A realistic result for Wiggins would have been 2 on GC + the TT stage.
