Arredondo said:He rode really strong today. Just two guys better.
Valverde was dropped with 15 seconds by Purito on this climb. He never did that! So Valverde is in super-crisis?
The Tour was so hard, it's a disadvantage for guys like Purito, Valverde, Froome, Quintana etc.

Valverde is not in great shape,he didn't even sprinted yesterday when he was suppose to win the stage.Clearly J.Rod is better,but i don't think is enough for a podium place considering the ITT![]()
Arredondo said:But he said it wasn't serious, so that's not an excuse imo.
But Valverde has not impressed me so far this Vuelta. At least for someone who is a 'potential Vuelta winner'.

Yes, he did not abandon or lose 15 minutes so it wasn't serious![]()
Doesn't mean that it did not make any difference to the stage result.
Kwibus said:Well I allready thought so last year, but this year as well shows that Purito's best years were 2012/2013.
He's still a great rider ofcourse, but not as good as back then.

Nibali to design a stage for the giro and Bardet one for the TourKwibus said:TMP402 said:
We should be happy with Purito though. That he made this stage for us.
Long time ago we had the pleasure to see such a great profile. Every GT needs a stage like this.
Arredondo said:What a great stage! Ok, Aru was better, but he got 1 minute on Valverde, Chaves, Dumoulin, 2.20 on Quintana, 4 minutes on Pozzo.
He will not win this Vuelta. Perhaps he will not podium (4th). But he shows there still some power and energy left in that old body, and that's something i'm proud of.
VAMOS Purito!!![]()

No credit to the evil stage win costing Moreno?
ray j willings said:Good effort but no cigar. He cannot climb the mountains like Horner. You have to be consistent and driven and for me Purito has never been any of these things.
