Wiggins loses time after Giro fall

Sir Bradley Wiggins's hopes of winning the Giro d'Italia for the first time were hit when he crashed on a seventh stage won by Australian Adam Hansen. The Team Sky rider slipped off on a bend while descending at the end of a stage that was hit by heavy rain. He slipped from sixth to 23rd overall, one minute and 32 seconds behind new leader, Benat Intxausti Elorriaga. But Team principal Sir Dave Brailsford said: "Bradley's fine. There's no physical injury."
