I really hope Valverde's presence will trigger early attacks. You are not going to beat valverde by waiting until the end.

But itll probably be a boring race climaxing into valverdewinslol. LBL is the worst monument.

I really don't understand how people cannot like him. Valverde served his ban, that should really be enough. That he still wins either means that he is stronger and smarter than everyone else. He is probably not doped to the max, see him get dropped in the high mountains. He is good at what he does.

I love after his ban he's come back and just gone to work. Compare this to the many riders who come back and make their number one priority not riding bikes but scolding and whining and preaching about doping and rules and this and that.

Valverde just wins.

But its great to see them making the race, at least for now.
