Understandable frustration from Wiggins. The plan would have had him a few minutes up by now and defending in the mountains.

He did well to just lose 30 seconds.

Indeed.  He needs to start picking up a few bonus seconds or its all going Nibali's way in the mountains.
Highlight of the day was the spectator falling off the edge of the road 5km from the end, comedy classic.

interesting that uran was given free rein to attack which was in stark cntrast to Frrome at last years tdF. this suggests Brailsford doesnt think brad has the legs. I can't see him taking too much time out of Nibali or the resurgent Cadel Evans. Hoping my bet on Gesink to finish top3 comes off!

He's got a chest infection (wiggo). Has had it for a week so I gather. Team meeting tonight to decide if he packs in. Uran now leader. Cavs 100th career win today.
 If they ride it sunday could be epic. Over the Galibier but its in doubt as there is loads of snow.

He's out of it on doctors orders.

Tour Of California is on Eurosport in the evenings at the moment as well, individual TT today but tomorrow is a great mountain stage up & over Mount Diablo.

Just like at HTC, Cav looking like he's got a team behind him that'll put themselves on the line to get him to the sprint.  Bodes well both for the remainder of the Giro and the Tour to come.

Well what a shit week. Stages altered, today cancelled.  Tomorrow changed all due to crappy weather.  Bloody snow.  And then to cap it all Danilo DiLuca tests positive for EPO.  He is a dick anyway.  Now he is a banned for life dick.  Looks like Cav has a good chance of winning the red points jersey now though so thats a bonus.

DiLuca won the Giro in 2007?  What a tool.

Lance has had a pop at Di Luca. Sometime reality is beyond even the most outlandish imaginations.
