Valverde's entire tactical range in one day races is 'wait for sprint' when it matters, and he his level just drops off when he has to dig really deep before the last climb.Tonton said:Dumoulin yes, Valverde I see your reasoning but disagree big time. The guy can race and win a classic with no team (same for Nibali), top-tier tactician (not at Nibali level but still), Valverde can hide...and surge. Over 21 or so days, he won't lose much time any day, and gain some time on some days. Consistency is Valverde. That format would require consistency, at least some consistency, or a "Vino attitude".
