Valverde absolutely owned that stage - incredible ride. Animated the climb, did most of the work on the run in, lead into the final km and not one rider could get around him in the sprint.

Great stage!
The sprint was beautiful.
Valverde's going to be hard to beat.
Contador very, very good and hungry for racing.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Well ofcourse not. None of the other riders in that group posses what can be called even a decent finish. Bad tactics from SKY not to attack in the last couple of kilometers.

I switched on during the descent, but read that Landa was good on the climb. What happened to him?
