Damn, nasty nasty fall from Valverde in one of the descents. Seems to be very lucky he stopped sliding in time, otherwise he could have taken a deep tumble downwards, while now he was at least able to climb up (with the help of Rojas) after catching his breath a bit.

 

That right shoulder is gonna be the main issue, seems like a collarbone injury.

Abandonado & surely a career ender at this point.

It's Valverde, way too early to call it a career especially since he already said he'll go for 2022 as well

@Agger How is the Danish pronunciation of the Belgian/Dutch Eurosport commentator who tried to fool viewers today by thinking they had Danish commentary?

Alpecin-Fenix seemingly riding for Philipsen today. Are they aware he's not in the race anymore, one wonders?

 

Spoiler

Or do they think Modolo suddenly found some legs again?

Looks like that’s it for the winner. Couple of days to settle out 2nd & 3rd now.
