Re: Re:

I agree martin is a climber. but roche no way. roche is a rouleur, a strenght rider who can lower his loss in the mountains but he never gains anything in the mountains like climbers do.


Ok so that is the definition of a climber ...so where would you put Valverde in that definition...never saw him gain anything on a mountain nor Konig for that matter or Van de Broeck or what about Dumoulin ??
and what about Zubeldia .....never see him at all :D

Yeah, I also think that Dumoulin is not a climber.

Very similar end than first stage.

Tomorrow with the rain and with that wall, could be different, but could be similar
