Alexander Valverde became the main character this Tuesday at sixteenth stage of the Giro d’Italiabetween Salo and Aprica and there is a climb to Mortirolo as a big challenge. Murcian from Movistar got into the breakaway and finally ended up with the group of favorites on the final climb to Santa Cristina. Valverde thus rose to tenth place overall and was satisfied with his performance, as can be seen in statements released by the Movistar team.
“A hard day; very, very hard. I was able to break up after the first struggle, but the truth is almost no one wants to pass the baton at important moments in the group ”, Valverde said.“ I also didn’t want to shoot more than anyone, because I left the team alone, and not yet having the understanding we want sometimes, “he sighed.
Valverde paid for his lack of strength in the final climb to fight for victory on stage. “Eventually I spent a little more than I should have and in Santa Cristina I paid for it. I just set my pace and tried to finish well. We will see what can be done in the next few days ”, concluded.
