How the Race was Lost - Giro Week 1

None of the major favorites have lost the race yet, except Uran, who is fighting bronchitis and is over 2 minutes down on Porte, Aru, and Contador. We'll see what he can do on the TT. Of serious note is the loss of Domenico Pozzovivo from the race. He crashed badly on Stage 3 and was taken to the hospital. Obviously, he had to abandon. 

Other ways to lose the race include not being able to start the race, like Davide Rebellin, because the race organizers hate you for doping in the past. Or having a poor TTT, like Lampre.

Worst of all, you could lose because some idiot sticks out their camera into the field during the bunch sprint at the end of a stage, like in Stage 6. Daniele Colli gets the worst of it, and Alberto Contador also comes down and dislocates his shoulder. Twice.

And this is what resulted. Note that his forearm has been censored in this picture because it is bent the wrong way. You don't want to see what I saw.

Let's see who else loses in week 2.
