Even if i wasn't watching this in Welsh I wouldn't understand what i am seeing from MvdP in terms of his motivation. Testing what he is capable of? He is making G Martin & Cofidis seem like they've a masterplan of energy management during a three week race.

Hirt for the victory since surely since its the same faces.

I think MvdP is the kind of rider who when he feels good just tries to go off and looks what happens. I doubt there's much more thought behind it, and I don't mean that as a criticism.

I never witnessed a Grand Tours where we are missing the dynamic in the peloton all the time.
Where is Bilbao. When was Valverde dropped?

I agree. But to Valverde: He was just dropped a minute before we saw him in full screen. There was a full shot at the peloton and three Movistar riders where trying to get contact again.

Has Hirt done a single pull yet? Apart from the effort to get into the break he basically had to do the same as the GC guys 5 minutes behind.
