    From the same place as Quigley get's his info? :wink:

    Oh Bradley, you really need to sort this out man. How are you going to cope when we get to the mountains. What goes up must come down. This is painful. Its like watching an inevitable relationship breakdown in slow motion.

    "They've taken the decision that Bradley Wiggins is no longer the number one concern for the team because they have left Sergio Henao and Rigoberto Uran in the lead group and it looks like they are the priority."

    Nice ride by Betancur.

    Was Evans the first over from the peloton?

    I know he looked awful on the descents, but today has to go down as a result for Wiggo given the preceding road stage..

    DQ says he couldn't see Wiggo. I'm sure he was in Cadel bunch.

    He was beside himself when Wiggo was struggling 30k out. Kelly was as much telling him to calm down.

    All Grand Tours should start with a week of 'classics' stages. Excellent racing so far.

    Convincing myself Wiggins is playing poker. Actually he's fitter than all of them.

    Is Wiggins going to be going out riding descents on the rest day tomorrow? Could he have sustained an injury when he crashed that is exacerbated when descending? Idle speculation I know but I'm trying to think of reasons beyond just a lack of confidence in descending (in the wet).
