    Did team sky leave wiggins to take uran to the main group before returning to help him. Uran was out of the main group according to some reports on twitter and now reported back in it.

    Wonder whose call that was, I can imagine wiggo himself being honest with the team car and suggesting the team get behind uran now as he can't do it.

    Sounds like he's right near the front of the Nibali group with the rest of OPQS

    VG - Something about taking GC time 3km early due to risky finish in Treviso. Above & beyond the usual one for spills.

    Wiggins has waved on his Sky teammates, telling them to get on with without him. 5-man break with just 40 secs on Nibali group, 10km to go.

    Henao with Uran, mid-peloton.

    There are at least 2 Sky riders in the Nibali group I think - just spotted 2 black helmets with the blue mid-section anyway.

    If Uran's not with Nibali's group today will have been a complete disaster.

    There are two Sky riders in that group, so I'm sure one of them is Uran, and as mentioned above the other is probably Henao

    Yes, got a good close up of Wiggins' group. Uran is not there, so up with the Nibali group.

    Sky look great on the front of that group. Plenty slow enough for a good look too :D

    Time between the groups stops at the 3km. If Wiggins' group is 3 minutes after with 3km to go, then that's the time they will be after at the finish line as well. That's how I undestood it.

    2kms to go, 7 seconds gap... nice tight finish in these conditions.

    Perhaps Wiggins should've worn his blue coat to protect him from the rain :lol::lol::lol:
