That sucked. I wanted Wiggins in pink.
That way Sky's climbers would have to flog themselves on the front for two weeks before the mountains
To be honest i think they would have taken an Armstrong approach and given the jersey away tomorow.
If they wanted that they could've given it to Taborre today

There should be a "crash now" button for PCM 14 whilst using Blanco.
Just a thought |

Here's the young riders jersey Betancur, take it 
He crashed earlier in the descent. I'm not sure if he got back but I don't think so. At least I never saw it happen.
Betancur got back yeah...
Genius tactic by Blanco btw. Kruiswijk crashed, Gesink was able to dodge it, while Scarponi lost a minute today. Next up, Wiggins.
Forget Sky, the aimbots are the Blancos. Every time they hit someone with perfect accuracy

Already more action in this Giro then in last years Tour. Great stage. And fun to see that Ryder really is trying to win the race. |

OPQS did most of the chasing today. Together with Katusha in the final but also alone before the live coverage started.

Exactly. They've developed the technique to eliminate every GC-contender there is, they just practiced on their own GC contender the last few years, but now, they've mastered it.

Did Blanco really crash Scarponi though? I know it's funny and all, but as i remember it, it was pretty much his own fault. I'll wait for the replay. |

Blanco was leading but took that turn way too fast. Scarponi was following them.

As I said, i will have to watch again, but he should be as aware of the road as the Blanco riders. |

The Crashobank frenzy over the last few seasons leads to some legit questioning, I'd say.
I can understand that one rider, or say a couple of them, would have terrible bike handling skills, or bad luck. But year after year, after year, and on many riders ? No way.
I'd say blame the mechanic, or somebody like that. Do they inflate their tyres too much (which is lethal on wet roads) ? Something funny with their forks or their wheels ? Something else ?

Good point!
Menchov hasn't crashed since leaving Rabobank I think.
