After todays stage do you think A Valverde still a contender in the TDF?

Question

Valverde didnt shine today as a tour contender. Many think he just took the day off and resting for the mountain. Do U think this his his strategy or he doesnt have that engine after all?

Answer 1

He's a great rider,don't count him out. The tour is usually won, or at least decided in the mountains. Watch George and Danny Pate.

Answer 2

Hard to say.  A buddy of mine picked him to win the last two years running but gave up on him this year.

He may have the motor, but a minute plus down is going to be hard to take back on the likes of Cadel.
