Of course Alberto has done great. As world class as everything. I dont want to take anything away from Purito (he has done great) but this Vuelta has with its many uphill sprints, bonus seconds at play, lack of TTs been tailormade for his qualities. It is as he himself have designed it. I have few or little doubts AC would have been in the lead with minutes had it looked slightly different. But at the end of the day you have to stick with your strenghts and face what you get.
