Giro d’Italia 2013 – Stage 13: Busseto – Cherasco 254km. Cavendish’s Fourth!

HomeRaceRace ReviewsGiro d’Italia 2013 – Stage 13: Busseto – Cherasco 254km. Cavendish's Fourth!

GreenEdge and Cannondale learned again that those who live by the sword die by the sword. Having slyly left Patrick Lefevre’s men to do the lion’s share in bringing back the break of this longest day of the race, they formed their trains late in the tappa; hoping to exploit a Cavendish whose team was all used up. But they reckoned without the hunger of Cavendish, his power, commitment to his team and God-given positioning sense.

There were in excess of 300 metres to go when he went – a long, long way in sprinting circles but that famous ‘jump’ gave him too many metres to pull back.

Nizzolo can bang his bars as much as he wants, Cav is the King.

The slump against the barriers was no show boating, he’d gone way deep to win.

A big part of his success is his position, so low over that Specialized; his watts don’t match those of Greipel or giant Dukla Prague sprint flyer, Alois Kankovsky who lays down over 2,000 watts.

But Cav is so low over the bike that his aerodynamic signature is tiny compared to ‘house ends’ like Greipel and Kankovsky.

It’s looking less and less like my spy’s tip off that Cav will be moving on from QuickStep at the end of the year is correct.

QuickStep’s East European money isn’t going to let a man who can win four stages in a Grand Tour slip through it’s fingers.

And Cav has little to complain about his team in this Giro d’Italia.

But there’ll be little mention of Cav for the next week as the race heads into the Alps and Dolomites.

For the sprinters there will only be the gruppetto, pain, endless grades, no limelight or press conferences and just the thought of the Brescia finishing straight a week tomorrow to keep spirit and flesh rolling on through those ‘kilometres to go’ signs.

“Last year’s winner, 1 Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin Sharp), 100 Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ), 181 Bradley Wiggins (Sky Pro Cycling).”

The official race communiqué was matter of fact about the non-starters list; but it’s actually a sensational sentence – two of the race’s biggest favourites dropping out on the same day.

With Ryder it’s hard to say – maybe a virus?

But I never thought that Bradley looked comfortable throughout the entire race – and as I said yesterday, I don’t think he was prepared for how aggressive the first week of the Giro is.

In addition, his skeletal build was never going to cope well with the weather which was thrown at it.

It’s fair to say that you’d expect sunshine in the Giro – but then you should always remember those pictures of Andy Hampsten and snow drifts.

Those lines through the Briton and Canadian’s names in the Gazzetta ‘partenti’ list are good news if your name is Nibali; but not so clever if you’re called Brailsford or Vaughters.

Brailsford is better served for GC with the highly capable Uran in third spot and Sky still having some very strong boys in there to support him – Henao, Cataldo, Siutsou, Zandio are all accomplished support riders when the tarmac rises.

Garmin are nowhere on GC, Tom Danielson is 37th at 37 minutes; but in fairness to the man he did look good in the early stages and lost much of that time in shepherding a wasted Hesjedal.

A stage win for him is possible, I believe.

It’s been a great Giro so far with the last week sure to contain more surprises and drama as the race today (Saturday) heads into the Alps – Climate Change permitting.

It could be a calm stage if the GC guys declare a truce and let a break go – or it could be brutal.

My guess is the former.

Ed Hood
Ed's been involved in cycling for over 50 years. In that time he's been a successful time triallist, a team manager and a sponsor of several teams and clubs. He's also a respected and successful coach and during the winter months was often working in the cabins at the Six Days for some of the world's top riders. Ed remains a massive fan of the sport and couples his extensive contacts with an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the minutiae and the history of our sport. In February 2023 however, our dear friend and beloved colleague Ed suffered a devastating stroke and faces an uncertain future; Ed has lost his ability to speak, to read, and has lost movement on the right side of his body. He's working with speech and physical therapists on rehabilitation, but all strokes are different and each patient responds differently, so unfortunately recovery is one day at a time. Ed ran his own business installing windows, and will probably not be able to work again. Please consider joining us to make a contribution to Ed's GoFundMe page to help stabilise and secure his future.

Jason Macintyre Memorial Time Trial Goes to John Archibald

On a morning which delivered everything from flat calm with balmy sunshine – complete with midges – to a stiff breeze with stinging rain it was Pro Vision Cycle Clothing’s John Archibald once again delivering the result over 17.8 ‘sporting’ miles around lovely Loch Leven in the Jason Macintyre Memorial Time Trial which was also round four of the CTC ‘Knights Composites Classic TT Series.’ Billed as the ‘Tour of Glencoe’ that was a slight misnomer albeit the race did skirt Glencoe village and pass through Invercoe it was more of a ‘Loch Leven Loop’ but whatever the name the backdrop was stunning – Scotland at it’s best.

David Walsh – Part 2, “My motivation will always be to protect the guy who doesn’t want to dope”

In part one of the interview respected and award-winning Irish journalist David Walsh discussed his interest in Lance Armstrong's motivation, his willingness to take part in a lobby of Irish cycling clubs to call for an EGM so that Pat McQuaid's nomination for a third term as UCI President was not backed, and recounted some startling stories including Johan Bruyneel shooting up with cortisone just for fun. Here in part two Walsh tells us about his time spent with Team Sky during their training blocks in Tenerife, what's happening with the action group "Change Cycling Now" and exactly what he thinks about Garmin rider Dan Martin's win in Liège last Sunday...

I didn’t think that Cav could win the Primavera now, after today's display in Limoges, I think that he can do pretty much anything he puts his mind to within the scope of his physical characteristics. He can win the green jersey on the Champs Elysees in Le Tour de France, Paris - Tours and the Worlds too-when the parcours suits him.
