Out Valverde'd Valverde. Gotta respect that.
Except Valverde has NEVER flat out refused to work like Woods. What Woods did was not only disgusting but ensures others will be more happy to just let the group behind catch than do anything with him. Woods was disgusting.
I genuinely don't remember ever seeing Valverde featuring in such a classic break-finale before.
That would be because he's never been allowed into breaks before. If he's fighting that way for stage wins it's always because it's with the other GC leaders not stage hunters.
