People say he has improved on the ITT... What they dont say is that the ITT of Pontevedra were for climbers. Put only 39 kms of ITT in all the Vuelta wasnt enough, unipublic also choose one for no specialists riders. Why? To benefits Purito and Valverde, who did a better stage than an itt world champion Tony Martin, Cameron Meyer or Andrew Talansky. Then put 5 similar stages with only one final climb. Arrate, Jaca, Valdezcaray, Gallina, Èzaro. To benefit JRod and Valverde probably? Then all mountain stages, the 8 finish at the top of the final ascent. One more time, why? People said in the TDF the route was designed for Wiggins (i disagree, was for a complete rider with a great amount of ITT kilometres like in 90's) and here in the Vuelta dont say nothing? Its like you put 3000 kilometres of ITT for see win Tony Martin a GT or all flat stages for see win Cavendish a GT. Here all "mountain" stages except three are uphill finish. Also theres no TT. Its shameful. Then people begin to talk about Purito and the history and i cant believe it. Sorry for my english.
