Nice!! But thats a tough race programme peaking for the Ardennes + Giro and then ride the tour and rioRuudz0r said:Robert Hatch @robhatchtv
Giro 1-0 Vuelta? Alejandro Valverde said to be ready to commit to programme of #Giro, #tdf & then #Rio2016 next season.
It's possible, but it's not a final decision. In the daily Diario Vasco there was an interview with Unzue where he stated that it's going to be very complicated to pick the right schedule for Valverde. Even the Vuelta isn't ruled out as Unzue wants to win the Tour and the Vuelta next season, or maybe Unzue sees Betancur as a winning candidateRuudz0r said:Robert Hatch @robhatchtv

Then some JC Peraud and Thibaut Pinot will finish ahead of himdamian13ster said:Maybe he should let go of Tour? He finally got his podium. Unless 2014 repeats with Nibali not being there, he won't get a win.
Ardennes +Giro +Poland +Rio seems manageable. Even if he wants to do Vuelta later
I am hoping for the same, that + Vuelta would be a great schedule for him.damian13ster said:Maybe he should let go of Tour? He finally got his podium. Unless 2014 repeats with Nibali not being there, he won't get a win.

Would be great if he takes it easy at the Tour and goes all out at the Olympics.“How I will face this Tour? Maybe not as focused as in previous seasons - though I haven't still spoken thoroughly about it with neither Eusebio nor Nairo, the plan is having him taking over the team leadership,” the 35-year-old Spaniard said.
“It might be different for me, maybe more focused on the Olympics. Still, I don't know if I'll ride the Vuelta a España, the Giro d'Italia, how my calendar will be … we must wait and decide it with the team in the upcoming weeks before defining our 2016 schedule.”
That would be suicide for Rio. Bala needs to realize after this year that racing too many races isn't a wise thing to do.Mr.White said:Nairo hints that Bala will ride Il Giro, and then Le Tour with him
I agree, I dont think its wise either considering his Ardennes-campaign either.Arredondo said:That would be suicide for Rio. Bala needs to realize after this year that racing too many races isn't a wise thing to do.Mr.White said:Nairo hints that Bala will ride Il Giro, and then Le Tour with him
I think he will only race one of them.
Uuh okay, thats huge. We will be win for a super interesting Giro with many big names. I love it.hfer07 said:Nairito just confirmed he will be the absolute leader at the Tour while Alejandro will go to Il Giro and back Nairito at Le Tour. No further comments/rumors on Alejandro targeting Rio?
i concur. looks like valverde is a senior spokesman in movistar, not even unzue.jens_attacks said:Wait until valverde says it, not nairo...
If he really wants to win it, he has to target it next year. At this age, you can't look 2 years ahead. Chance is quite big your body and legs aren't the same anymore.Valv.Piti said:I agree, I dont think its wise either considering his Ardennes-campaign either.Arredondo said:That would be suicide for Rio.

I can't really decide how much of a **** Valv gives about the Giro. He loves the Tour above all, but if he really wants to try to win the Giro, next year will probably be his last shot, although I think its wiser to try in 2017 instead giving that Rio is a one in a lifetime for Valv. He is my favorite at this moment.
