El imbatido

He's BACK!

Great win by the even greater Valverde.

in 2040 he'll win his 7th GP Miguel Indurain at age 60.

Btw Latour is probably a worse descender than Zakarin at this point. Every time the road goes down, even on a straight wide road, he immediately loses ground. It's unbelievable.

No, cause it'll be renamed the GP Alejandro Valverde by then.

Good to see Gesbert and Neilands back up there.

My eyes still hurt from watching him climb out of saddle, just awful.

Valverde won this race three times. I wonder does he stack the trophies side by side or one after another.

Congrats!

At least you could watch Valverde climb too. That looks a bit better.

Just when we all thought the fountain of youth has run dry, a new well has been discovered near Murcia. Just in time for Fleche Valverdoise and Liege Bala Liege.

Bala ties the record for most wins at this race. Congrats, Alejandro!!

Wouldn't Vuelta a Murcia be more likely to be renamed Vuelta a Valverde?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He can have both of those honours then.

 

[tobydawq]

Wouldn't it be best if the word "Vuelta" gets changed to "Valverde" in the Spanish dictionary? Thus, his name will naturally fit in in most Spanish races' names.

Pretty good excuse to end up in the ditch, I'd say.

Pleasantly surprised by De Plus in the final. Has been out of competition for nearly a year, and in Provence it didn't look very good at all. In PN he was getting better, and here he was one of the strongest riders imho. According to PCS he's bound for the TDF this year.
