Re:
Valverde has to try to get into break in 3rd week for sure. We have seen Sky in trouble actually when stage starts with a climb. Froome has been reduced to 3 helpers when they try to control breakaways with riders that they can't let away but what happened is that everybody starts to wait meanwhile Sky helpers come back and their train gets back together. Instead of waiting they should keep making a good tempo and attack whenever possible to make riders like Henao, Nieve and Poels work on the flats and early climbs.
HelloDolly said:I am inclined to think Valverde & TJ in a break might be a way forward...Attacking the train on a mountain does not look like it will suffice ...maybe Kreuz also
And later attack with Aru & Baret & Quintana ..one after the other or all together
