Repost from USA Today | May 17, 2013

Two defending champs:   Sir Bradley Wiggins (UK) for Tour de France and Ryder Hesjedal (Can) for Giro both withdrew (DNF) from Giro de Italia because of health conditions.  Wiggins had chest problems, and Ryder was said to have "deteriorating health conditions"

They both withdrew just before the 13th leg - the longest though mostly flat course.

The race ends on May 26, 2013

I biked today to Morong via Antipolo.  I met many guys going to Morong via Cardona.

I wanted to strengthen my climbing ability and at the same time take pollution pictures.  I took many pollution pictures and arrived at Morong at almost 9 am.  There were no Recyclists in sight. 

There I saw master E.  He again broke a spoke of his Shimano RS wheel at the rear.  What could be the causes?   His fall after he broke as spoke then at Teresa must have damaged other spokes, he pedals hard;  his replacement last time was not the original Shimano RS replacement part.

I and he pedalled very slowly and it was almost 11 when we reached Angono
