Some big changes in stage 3. Lots of big time losses.
Should Evans have chased so hard at the end or saved a bit for a later stage?
At 45 secs to Vino is he (Evans) a shot duck? Too early really.
Ritchie Porte hey. Got a good write up in latest ride (triathlon background, thought they are all bunters?).
Dutch roads claim more victims
Wouter Weylandts gave Quick Step a brilliant victory on the third stage of the Giro d'Italia on another chaotic day on the Dutch roads, besting Graeme Brown of Rabobank in the sprint from a small group.
The peloton was blown to pieces by a combination of crashes, wind and narrow, twisty roads on the 224km trek from Amsterdam to Middelburg.
The last fall caught out both Bradley Wiggins (Sky) and maglia rosa Cadel Evans (BMC), leaving the overall race leader to do much of the work to limit his losses.
Alexander Vinokourov (Astana) nabbed the pink jersey by avoiding the crashes, and now tops Saxo Bank's Richie Porte and David Millar (Garmin-Transitions) on the overall standings.
