After Quintana dropped the gap was about ten seconds big. Why valverde didn't attack there is beyond me

The chase group is so bad a half-baked Quintana with a mechanical got back on comfortably

Wow Quintana gone. How can you not love Simon Yates? Valverde showing hes not a winner yet again


Cmon

How many times have we seen him riding for a podium instead of chancing it for a win? Yes valverde's won a lot, but a guy with his talent would win twice as much if he had a winner's mentality

He clearly has a winners mentality

Showing it right now :)

Or that he simply just dont have the legs today

No legs is the only explanation.

Podium available for SK if he commits and a stage for Tibo.

Valverde waited for Quintana then dropped him 45 seconds later. Dumb as a rock.

Ffs why aren't they working. Afraid that Adam will outsprint them?

Valverde hopeless

Mas and Lopez pathetic

Quintana just not there as has been the case the last 2 years

The rest not even worth mentioning

Valverde literally gave up 30 seconds waiting for Quintana then dropped him after a shot irrelevant turn on the front from Nairo. Maybe the stupidest move I've ever seen.

Masterful trolling from Adam Yates on his wheel the entire climb.

Yates knows these slopes intimately so this attack is not only impressive but clearly calculated
