Eldron Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Continuing the team versus country loyalty debate...would Valverde have chased Rui Costa if he wasn't his team mate? Did he put Spain or Movistar first?
Jakkals. Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Continuing the team versus country loyalty debate...would Valverde have chased Rui Costa if he wasn't his team mate? Did he put Spain or Movistar first? After he's(Valverde) performance in the Vuelta, he fell off on sudden attacks and climbed back on his own pace. Think the acceleration of Costa was just to much after 270km in the legs for a guy who was already battling in the Vuelta to keep up with sudden attacks. So I reckon he couldnt, He wants gold, no doubt about that. Edited October 3, 2013 by antonj
rock Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Continuing the team versus country loyalty debate...would Valverde have chased Rui Costa if he wasn't his team mate? Did he put Spain or Movistar first? hes already signed with Merida, so cant see that coming into it, especially since UCI points stay with the rider......would have had no benefit to Movistar.....
