Wiggins back in Giro d'Italia title chase after escape

Bradley Wiggins, Giro d'Italia stage 11

Bradley Wiggins found himself back in the hunt for the Giro d'Italia title after today's gruelling stage to L'Aquila. Thanks to being part of escape group, with three Sky team-mates, Wiggins now is positioned 10th overall at eight minutes back from leader Richie Porte.

"It is certainly not over," Wiggins told Cycling Weekly. "We will keep going, we still have this process of going for the GC, even though we were well out of it this morning. We are right back in it now, or certainly up there."
