Wiggins and all the Sky team have been detached at the back.

In real trouble over a minute back as peleton speed increases.

Nothing 'happened', he's ill.

Perhaps he should start taking his vitamins

Quando Mark mi ha portato sulla dx ormai non ne avevo più per passarlo. Bouhanni non è stato scorretto ha solo avuto fegato di passare!!

Once through google translate -

When Mark took me on right now I had no more to pass. Bouhanni was not incorrect liver has only had to go!

He thought Bouhanni was not a incorrect liver... God bless google translate.

Anyone know why Pantano got 10 points? Didn't follow the stage today.

Colombians

I'm hoping it's a mistake and it should have gone to Avila for coming last.

Thanks for your very insightful reply.....I've known he was ill since Sunday

I meant, did he come off, have a mechanical, lost time downhill again......

Something must have happened before he lost 3 minutes. He's been ill all week and this was a fairly easy, shortest stage.

Italian's use liver as a metaphor for bravery. He is saying that Bouhanni did nothing wrong he was just brave enough to go

Colbrelli has pulled off the peleton to try to bridge the gap

He didn't make it

That makes sense. What happened with the crash, hopefully no one hurt.

Four of the five went down. Peleton now going very slow. Rain bad. De Backer seems to have disappeared from the front group

All five are there

So for instance, if Wiggins was leading out the peloton at the 3k marker he would get the 20 secs bonus and after that its only the sprint points they are going for ???

I think the time bonuses will still be taken at the line, but none of the GC riders would have been likely to get them today anyway. It's the times for the overall which will be taken at the 3km mark.

More info :-

@WWCCScorer

@daniellloyd1 Will the time bonuses still be awarded at the finish line?

‏@daniellloyd1

@WWCCScorer I think so yes, but will be of no consequence anyway as sprinters will take them all.
