    Wiggins sat at the back again watching the race from the cheap seats. If he wanted to watch the race why didn't he stay at home and watch it on tv??

    More dowhills ahead. Think he should wear ice hockey padding if he's nervous. :?

    4th Cat climb is only 1.5Kms long but 8.5% average with a max of 14% so lets see what happens next
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    He's hanging on at the very back of the bunch.
    Quite painful to watch.

    Ooo I know this climb well. It's nasty in places. Nice to see they haven't fixed the road surface either.

    Have to say that Evans is looking good, with Ryder & Wiggo hanging round the back of the peloton.

    He's so far back in the group that Nibali and Evans could take him for 30s by attacking now.

    Hang on this climb is in the worlds (as a descent)? Bit narrow isn't it?

    As someone who used to suffer up this climb at the end of a day's riding can I take some delight in some pros struggling with it (albeit still twice as fast as I would go). I know it is not the same but it makes me feel a little better about my climbing.

    I don't know from where Sean Kelly has got the idea that Betancur is a poor descender. He's not.
