Roland Rat said:Ok, what happened? What did someone do? The day after Mrs Wiggins' twitter is mentioned on here she closes her account... Did one of the internet heroes on here decide to send some abuse her way or something?
Potomac said:the title of this thread makes me ask: Did Sky ever any mojo to lose?
theswordsman said:I just did a search of replies to her, and nobody did said anything publicly. I don't know when she deleted, but twitter had a problem where it was published how people could make anyone auto follow them, and some people hit up celebs. In response, twitter had a chunk of time where everyone had "0 followers 0 following" while they tried to clear it up. Some people thought early on before the news got out that their own account had been hacked, so there's a chance she panicked and shut it down. Otherwise maybe the team said something? It's a shame, she was definitely entertaining.

im not even going to show you the teams classification..
The whole of BMC could be in a breakaway with the exception of evans and nobody would bother chasing it down.
auscyclefan94 said:That's our tatic. Lose lots of time and the hit 'em when they don't expect from riders they don't expect. We will be able to win stages also so that should be good.
TeamSkyFans said:And all those people who said Cioni didnt have a hope in hell of a top 20.. Brad has been sticking to Dario like glue the last two days.. finished within a few places of each other both days, and will be the same in the mountains.
And Froome, Possoni and Hayman are all in perfect positions now to go in breakaways. Cummings could have done with losing a few more minutes. Wouldnt surprise me though if Cummings or Froome dont have a pop tommorow.
He would've been top 15 without that crash that took out the entire Team Sky though.Moondance said:Well, you said he would Top 10. I said he might, just might, be able to scrape a top 20. He lost time today, finishing alongside Sastre and is now 25th, just under 8 minutes down from 10th place Scarponi.
I think my side in this is looking rather good.

TeamSkyFans said:well lets be realistic.. Cioni is hardly going to attack sastre and evans on the climbs and try and win the giro. A good result would be top 20, a very good result would be top 10, a positively spectacular result would be podium.
TeamSkyFans said:I think they will top 10 cioni. But i dont think you will find it very attractive. More of a top ten by default/wheelsucking. But, still a top 10.
