Different Mur.
Have you seen season 2 of the Netflix Movistar documentary? Valverde looked done in that, has lost his will to win and could no longer hurt himself enough to win. I'm surprised he's riding the Tour, he was clear in the documentary that 2020 was his final one.

You’re right, though i was assuming if Dan Martin can win it, Valverde already has.

There are a few references to his salary though, which perhaps is dependent on riding the biggest races.
It was interesting to see how he's settling into a role of taking pressure off less experienced team leaders like Mas. Almost magnanimous and likeable of him.

Valverde is injured and it’s the Mur.
If he doesn’t win, what’s the point?
