It's weird how half the forum attacks Valverde when he responds to Contador's and Nibali's attacking of his 3rd place.

No, people criticise him for not working with Contador/Nibali to try and win/help Quintana win. He just counters and wheelsucks.
Well, If Contador and Nibali ride for the win (lol, delusional) they should have no problem with Valverde riding along with them.

Unless of course they aren't riding for the win, they are riding for 3rd.

Froome said he would only go after Quintana and Valverde. So if Valverde reacts only to sit in the wheels, he is making Sky work to get Froome back to Nibali/Contador.

The heads of state are now on their own. I wonder whether those diagnosing with Froome being "on the ropes" are right. Soon we'll see.
