Testo: <blockquote data-quote="Travis Tygart Fan" data-source="post: 4226811" data-attributes="member: 52940">Giro d'Italia 2013 - part I            By: Michele Ferrari            Published: 20 May 2013                        After nearly 1000 km under in the rain, the riders begin to pay the price.Not  only respiratory diseases but also muscle fatigue, tendinitis and  digestive problems assaulted the more fragile athletes in the peloton.Cyclists,  in addition to food, ingest water and mud from the pavement, which  often contains parasites: worm and protozoa infection are definitely not  uncommon, draining the energies well beyond the physiological fatigue  of a stage race.And it is riders such as Wiggins and Hesjedal,  along with Froome and Gesink, the prototypes of the latest generation of  riders whose fragility I had already pointed out (see comment for the  TdF of 07/24/12), that are the first to pay the price for such weather  conditions, inevitably having to quit the Giro .Physically very tall  and perhaps too thin, they are more exposed to wind and cold compared  to more compact and less taut athletes.But if so much rain is  unusual in Italy in the month of May, unforeseen external factors are  always to take into account in road cycling, especially when dealing  with a competition that lasts more than three weeks on an extremely  diverse course, always full of pitfalls.Even with only one real  climb dealt with so far (Montasio), the contenders for the final victory  already seem restricted to two, maybe three riders, with already  significant gaps in the GC.Nibali has confirmed the progress  both in his climbing and time trialling (6.4 w/kg in the 10.9 km, 7.7%  gradient climb of Montasio); Evans is trying to cling right behind, but  his form should be further verified on the steepest gradients that await  the athletes in the 3rd week.Uran, brilliant uphill, already has a  more than 2 min gap and his skills in withstanding the responsibility as  captain of the team have yet to be tested.Scarponi, who perhaps  went in too deep in the time trial of Saltara, gave in some time on his  more favorable uphill terrain. If he can regain freshness on the  mountains ahead, he could become a serious aspirant to the podium of  Brescia.<a href="http://www.53x12.com/do/show?page=indepth.view&id=135" target="_blank">http://www.53x12.com/do/show?page=indepth.view&id=135</a></blockquote>
