Alejandro Valverde, also of Spain, then beat Italian Vincenzo Nibali for bronze. Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted October 3, 2013 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakkals. Posted October 3, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted October 3, 2013 Share 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.....
