Wiggo back at the team car - odds on an abandonment?

I thought the same when I saw that. Well off the back with no team mates. What's the Vuelta parcours like this year?

Dunno, but I can imagine a certain amount of disquiet in the Froome-Cound household at the prospect of an early finish to Wiggins' participation here...

An advert for Monkeys

LOL!

mfin... serious kudos are owed to you. The idea of screen shots as the stage progresses is a really great idea.... The ones of the adverts are also cool :-) keep it up!

Na, can't be bothered ...(if I spot some good shots I will!)

When I get some time I'll write some code to do it more automatically.

Seconded! Those of us with ferociously filtered work web access really appreciate it (Esp. with no R5X commentary today - altho as a cricket fan, the Test is an acceptable alternative!)

Bit of a slope

Q into ES: 'Why doesnt Bradley Wiggins go for the Hour'


Bradders might be attracted to it right now...toasty warm and dry in the velo....

Is that snow or hail they are riding through?

Its just like an English summer really

Vino'sGhost

it looks really really grim there today cold, belting it down, small dirty roads everyone looks like theyre at work as they twist and turn on up and down small roads. Miserable but starting to speed up and slowly close to the escapees and a bunch sprint.

Like a grim sportive (only with fewer fatties and they can ride in a bunch)

CN ticker says Cav looking for his 100th win - I thought that was a few races back?
Or does is depend on which chippers count?

I think it depends whether or not team time trials are included.

They are hideous, who makes them? I saw Gustav Larsson wearing them a while back, totally bogging!!

I think he needs some bright red jeans turned up, garish cap on backwards and some playing cards in his wheel to compliment . . .

Wiggins dropped again.

emadden

Good to see Cadel is wearing a piss-pot today :-)

I'm surprised he hasn't abandoned if he has a chest infection.

@UKCyclingExpert

The OmegaPharma-KwikFit team have an advantage in the wet weather because they have more tyres to choose from to suit the conditions. #GoCav
