Imagine CCC buys out the fraud Majka to be their GC rider :lol: What a waste of money that would be

He never was and never will be an elite GC rider. So if they do, well - stupid by them.

I think Valverde is going for himself.That huge descent should be good for him if he stays away.

Tracker says Cav can't stay with his helpers and is already four and half minutes behind them. I think he will be HD today. Probably DD don't want to have same fate as FDJ had last year, when they lost not only Demare but also Guarnieri, Konovalovas and Delage on one stage.

They day I never though would come has arrived. I am sitting at home and cheering for Valverde. This is what SKY has turned me into..

I guess You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

This is just the best option for Movistar

Valverde unlikely to be chased as hard as Landa or Quintana so does get leeway. If they close him down Quintana or Landa can go themselves and either bridge or counter later but if he stays away to take real time he does have the chops that he can stick around for 3 weeks if he's on a good one.

A move which is doomed to failure by Valverde with 5 Sky's still pushing big watts behind. If nothing else it is a softening up process and has dropped some riders off the amin peloton.

His form was always horrible this year.
