Why doesn't he have his own thread?
I really like this guy, some great racing from him in the past year.
Loved his win in the Dauphine last year, also in Catalunya last week.
I assume he will work to secure valverde a top 10 placing at the tour this year
What a shame, I guess he doesn't TT too well but its depressing all these exciting young riders have to pay their dues so aging stars who have no shot at the podium can be protected riders because of their salary rather than their possibilities. Not saying he has a shot at the podium, but please dont stifle him on stages where he can animate things!
These are the guys you should be building around, not old dudes on the way out like Valverde.
