GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Well,...that sucks. I didn't watch the ITT but now I read Valverde is out.....and so also the mainstay of my team!. If 'Berto doesn't stay upright I may not get any points.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 One thing Quintanna really needed was Valverde's leadership out on the road.. you don't get much smarter than him out on the road ... he needed Valverde almost more than he needs legs.. huge blow for him.. Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkYeah, I think Quintana will struggle without Valverde as will the entire team. Going into three weeks down a competitor of Valverde's calibre is going to cost.

Cav' Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Every year we have one sprinter miles above the rest (last year was Cavendish) this year I'm hoping for Kittel. (3 stages would be great) Demare is in good form but he's a tour noob ito wins) Greipel is slowly showing his age and struggle in a field with all the top sprinters. Groenewegen is also one to watch but I get the feeling the big name sprinters intimidates him. Also a pity coquard is watching the tour on the tele.

Pure Savage Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Confirmed broken kneecap for Valverde. .recon that is possibly career ending hey..Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkFor a rider with no previous serious injuries and age against him it's not good. But he could sign up for zwift and win the Veulta, would not surprise me.
Pure Savage Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Not sure why everyone is surprised by so many U.K. Riders in top 10, they have ridden a large chunk of life in wet conditions. Look, even Yates put time into Contador, Quintana and chaves. Then you look at someone like Louis from sunny SA, same time as Chaves... Or you can just blame the Vittoria rubber Valverde, igzore etc were on today, but we don't want to get into pro's wnd tires!!

Apparently the Veulta is in doubt as well ... its a real shame, he is at the top of the the game and his team needs his leadership

Valverde has yet to bury himself for Quintana, rather sits on wheel then closes gaps without taking Q along. Great racer, don't think a great team mate.
