  Actually you’re probably right. He wouldn’t be wearing the World Champs jersey otherwise. I’ve updated the caption. thanks!

Did Jack Bobridge crash??? 1 minute down when favoured for the win pre-race…. I recall commentator indicating he had slowed right down for wet section of road…but was that from some mishap?

  I’d like to know too. I had him down as a possible winner if Phinney screwed up but….

Anyone know what was up with Bobridge’s ride? He was taking things way too cautiously through the corners, almost as though he hadn’t ridden the course before. It all looked very deliberate. The only possible answers I can think of are (a) team has asked him to save himself for the TTT (which would seem strange given the prologue is so short) or (b) he is only at the Giro for training for the team pursuit at the Olympics and the track coach has told him not to take any risks so as to avoid crashing and injuring himself (didn’t seem to concern Geraint Thomas though). Any ideas?

I was in Herning yesterday, and at some point a corner after about 1k, a fountain leaked some soapy water (soapy because of the pink color put in it), which spilled onto the road, making it a very dangerous turn. The first rider after this accident crashed, which the others were clearly told – which is why Bobridge took at least that turn VERY cautiously. The water spill was cleaned up after about 15 minutes, and the first rider (a guy from LOTTO i believe) was the only one who crashed.
