What do you think about Evans? Is he able to beat Nibali somehow?
And what about his TDF? Do you think that attendance at Giro is going to help him (lack of racing) or is he going to be pretty exhausted when TDF begin? 
I believe him... |

Well, he's currently doing good at defending his spot in the Giro, If he keep this performance until TDF, he's got a chance, but given that Team Sky is going full out in defending their previous domination, they should be now, thinking of Plan B.

That was about to happen too in the 2011 Tour and it didn't. Let's wait a little bit 
But that is in July,not May.

The part that article doesn't mention is where Wiggins was asked if this was the reason for his bad TT and he said "no, it only started last night"

How do you keep doing it?
I only suggest you don't try it to clean your chimney, though |

Finish that dangerous organisers will classify the riders on time at the 3k point. After that GC contenders don't need to stick around and watch the sprint, an drop right off. |

The 3km rule is only for crashes and other malheur I believe

--edit: oops wrong topic lol! had two threads open  ----
Hope the final will be tough but interesting today, and no massive crashes/abandons because of it.

It's been confirmed that the times will be taken from the 3km mark today - so that any splits in the peloton will not be taken into account. That means that only those who are keen to win the stage - the sprinters and their lead-out trains - will need to put their heads on the line. The others can just coast through Treviso and soak (!) up the atmosphere. |

So a rider going all out from KM 3,5 - 3 might actually win some time?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

The 3km rule is only for crashes and other malheur I believe Daniel Lloyd on twitter tweeted it.

Should do that in every sprinting's stage, actually. Then only sprinters & lead-out have to mix it up -> much safer. |

No wonder BMC are pushing peleton.
Scarponi also with Wiggins.
