Quintana was insane today. People were already heaping praise on Majka for an amazing job with 7k to go when he dropped, and Quintana hadnt even got started then.
And tremendous character to be so loyal to Valverde like that. I mean i get working in a train or pacing a dropped leader or blocking the wind, but Quintana was going accelerate deccelerate, pace, ride out front to be a spring board, ride out front to be ready for next contador attack, everything.
and to do all that while the likes of Anton, Froome, Gesink etc are dying on their bikes 40 seconds back.
