This is the truth. Unfortunately, he'll get caught now, but at least the others have learned a lesson.

Piti didn't allow quintana to react to Contador cause he's not good enough. And then quintana attacks anyways lol

Surely all they have learnt is what they already know. That an attack from 40km+ out is almost certainly doomed to fail.

Even my Valverde hate is growing now. I mean, he's a great rider on strength alone, and he's got that nasty uphill kick many others lack. But oh god, is he ever a high-mountain Gerrans these days, with an apparent ego to boot.

Nobody went after him. Things got hectic in the Froome group when Valverde decided to follow Nibali's attack.
