powderpuff said:Cadel would have used alot of energy, but still only 1.23 down when Valverde still has yet to have his usual bad day. Not where he would have wanted to be at the start of the day but it could have been alot worse.
If you paid attention you would see that Basso accelerated maybe 8/9 times. He keeps sitting but just ups the pace (Basso never does something explosive).pedaling squares said:It's sad when excitement only comes from riders having crashes, mechanicals, or dropping off the back. I sure miss the attacks. Valverde rode the perfect race but I have to wonder what Basso and Gesink are waiting for. To be fair, maybe they were at their limit.
Great ride by David Moncoutie.

No he doesn't have bad days he just pulls out of the race.issoisso said:It doesn't matter how many times I point to previous GTs and show that Valverde doesn't have a "customary bad day", you won't believe it until this Vuelta ends, will you?![]()

Izoard said:Well, my respect for CE has increased. It looks like he either finished on-par with the time he lost due to the flat, or he may have even clawed a few seconds back - so chapeau to him. For someone who looked like he was going badly, it looks like he was going about the same. That doesn`t mean he would win, but it is interesting and it speaks to some character!

They were at their limit, I'm pretty sure Valverde had something more left though.
Timmy-loves-Rabo said:although I agree, I'd suggest basso, valv and gesink didn't go as hard as evans did. I think they had their mind on tomorrow as well.
