Re:
Yeah, I just found it. It was Valverde, Kwiatkowski and Luis León who had insulted him and almost got physical with him after the stage three of last year's PV.

Lol, just watched the finish. Was sure he was about to finish 5th or something like that, he was in pretty poor position actually, but then just effortlessly went into the left side of the road and won. Like, what the ***. This guy is just too good. <3

Re: Re:
Yeah, just before I found that link, I found an assessment by Brian Holm (previous to last year's LBL) who said that except for Tom Boonen, he had never experienced a rider being so universally respected and well-liked in the peloton due to his politeness and respectfulness despite him being a megastar as Valverde.
He said that no one didn't like him (both riders, DS's, auxiliaries) and that was an extreme rarity in the world of cycling.
Additionally, he said that the whole peloton had been on the neck of McCarthy after that particular incident, because one simply doesn't treat Valverde that way.

Re: Re:
He (El Pisti) talks about some feud with Gilbert 12-13 years ago. Gilbert complained about Valverde and Pereiro I think, some trash talk between them about Madiot's (Gilbert's boss at the time) comments on how Spanish riders and teams are doped.

@Blanco
I know. I've seen him bring that up before.
@Crash
It's not a lie. You're welcome. Google Translate is your friend. Btw, McCarthy and Valverde seemed to have buried the hatchet, and they greeted each other for quite a while after the stage today.

Re:
I'm not saying you lied about Brian Holm, I'm just saying this whole narrative of Valverde being so respectful to other riders is a lie.
As for Brian Holm, google his past.

Re:
Not if it makes riders attack on col de Bracons, rather than wait for the final climb.
Also, 70 km/h wind gusts, that's pretty serious.

Re: Re:
That's what I thought it would look like, or at least something similar. So we hand the stage to Valverde tomorrow? It looks like it should be a small group of climbers coming to the finish together.
