No, when Rodriguez was away at the end, Valverde had to cover both Nibali and Costa, so if one of them got away he'd sit on, thus ensuring Spain a gold (Rodriguez if he stayed away, Valverde himself if they'd got across).
Somehow, and let's not forget they are trade team mates, he let Costa get away alone. Rodriguez was incredulous about this after the finish.
