Descender said:Did you read Valverde's and Freire's words?
Yes, i know Valverde was supposed to babysit Freire, but you were suggesting that the reason why Valverde started the cauberg ascent so far back was because he was babysitting Freire. Which he wasn't, since he was way back (on his own) and oscarito actually was the only well-placed Spaniard at the foot.
