There are a lot of ways to help...it is good to have 2 captains. In a Tour where there are several tactic stages: Cauterets, Lacets, ...to play with 2 cards will be very important.gerundium said:how do you guys think valverde is going to do this Tour de france? there are quite some stages where he could get a good placement.

Terrible heat in Spain, over 40ºC in the shadow now (10 a.m.)

He has it in his pockets unless he doesnt mess up.

Yes he needs to be on the top of his game to win on the Mur. With a good Purito and Dan Martin, he needs to be in top shape. Come on, he lost plenty of times on the Muy in his prime days.

And he won it the last 2 years, destroying purito. Let's not be biased shall we? He's the clear favorite.
Valverde has won 3 FW and Purito 1. Thats fair and square.Arredondo said:Miburo said:Arredondo said:No_Balls said:Well a victory is a victory and it surely as hell is not a sign of going backwards at least. Besides, Balaverde doesnt have to be on top of his game to own Mur.

You don't read? I say he will not win if he is not in top shape. Not that's he not going to win if he's in shape.
He only beated Purito this year. Fair and square. But it will be a lot closer this Tour, mark my words.
