I still have hopes for Valverde. What do you see as his limiting weakness for GC? He has had some impressive sprint finsihes as well as mountain finsihes and some impressive sprinting mountain finsihes. I think he will be GC contender, but maybe not this year.
BTW, I had the Simoni stuff backwards. Apprently he is claiming that Basso demanded money to let Simoni win. Not quite as bizarre, perhaps, but still in the wacko territory from my point of view.
