Think Movistar is still happy with their decision to make Quintana do the Giro instead of the Tour?
Froom and Contador are out and Valverde can't hang on the climbs with the guys in 3rd-6th.
Sure Quintana won the Giro, but it very well may have been at the expense of his first Tour win.
Nope. I think Quintana would have taken it especially the way this has played out.
I am not a huge pr tour follower, but watch all the big races. I've seen Valverde for years, but never really viewed him as having the skills to be a top podium guy. I mean he's always up there somewhere, but never seems as if he's won much (and I could just not know about a lot of his race results). Quintana on the other hand was an immediate threat last year.
