Mark Cavendish: 4 out of 6 in the Giro d'Italia 2013, Wiggins and Hesjedal abandon - summary
Sometimes the luck of some can be very close to the bad luck of others. This was the case in the Giro d'Italia 2013 today since two leaders of the Tour of Italy had to abandon due to illness and Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Sharp), who was wearing bib number 1, and Bradley Wiggins, leader of Team Sky thus didn't start the stage in Busseto this morning. The French sprinter and champion Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ), second in yesterday's stage, didn't take the start either but that was planned a long time ago already.

On the other side of the 254 kilometers of this 13th stage, Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) won the stage, thus taking his 4th victory in this Giro d'Italia 2013. 4th victory, out of 6 stages which ended in a sprint!

Third stage victory for Mark Cavendish in the Tour of Italy 2013
In rather bad weather conditions with lots of rain, the 12th stage of the Giro d'Italia 2013 was a flat and very short stage and it was won in a sprint by Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep). The British rider took his third victory in this Italian Grand Tour today.

The pink jersey remains on the shoulders of Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) who took the leader's jersey of the general classification after the individual time trial last Saturday, after having been worn 1 day by Beñat Intxausti (Movistar Team).

John Degenkolb, as expected at the finish of the 5th stage of the Tour of Italy 2013 - summary
The 5th stage of the Giro d'Italia 2013 was a flat stage with only two small 4th category clombs. The last kilometers towards the finish weren't completely flat either though and John Degenkolb was thus the big favourite for this stage. The German rider of the Team Argos-Shimano lived up to the expectations because, despite a crash in the last turn, he won the stage as if it was created for him!
The summary of the 5th stage of the Tour of Italy 2013: Cosenza > Matera

The first climb was in the first 50 kilometers in Cipolletto and the climb of Montescaglioso at about twenty kilometers from the finish was the second. To get to the finish, the riders had to go a bit uphill as well however.
