Both big teams are messing this Giro up.
Astana are riding on the front for a team leader who isn't good enough atm to attack.
Movistar are **** up 3 possible stage wins + boni's for Valverde by not chasing the break.
You're talking as if it is a done deal, winning a stage just like that. Valverde would need to bury his team, every one of them, and even than it's a huge question if he would be in position to challenge the stage. He would need to sacrifice Amador for instance, who is very valuable for him standing high in the GC. And even then, it would be very hard to control the late attacks from the favorites, I doubt Amador can do that.
I think he's feeling great, and just saving his team for the deciding stages.
