    Great ride by Scarponi. Shame he lost all that time after the Blancos took him out.

    No one took him out, he fell off the exact same way the leading Blanco did.

    Rob Hayles on @BBC5LSX: 'If Bradley knew he was down on Scarponi as he is, I'm surprised he hasn't just binned it off'.

    Suggesting he was going bad or that scarponi is reminding us of the bad old days?

    If the Blanco's hadnt crashed neither would he have.

    Sir David Brailsford has outright rejected rhino story & also theory that Sir Bradley has been cycling for last 3 days with bubonic plague!

    It wasn't rhinos that attacked Wiggins it was a herd of these little fellows:

    Good time for Scarponi. Gytsy rider. Evans looks good.
    Although this is not a ur TT course , if Wiggo was firing on all cylinders he would defo put 2min into all of them.
    Having said that is he was "sick" no way would he have done the time he did, so maybe he was sick couple of weeks ago and almost over it.
    Soon find out in the mountains. He may just well get stronger, either that or he will blow completely.

    Paolini's glasses are the same as Freire's and are appalling.

    :( If Wiggo does not win I wanted Evan's to win , think he may suffer more before the hard finish.
    I don't want an Itai to win
