Post-script to OP’s question: I lined up at BWR Sunday never expecting to see anyone on course because I figured they’d be too far in front of me…until Valverde wrecked 5mi in on the first gravel section.
3mi later I’m leading a long line of riders trying to catch a bigger group before the Lake Hodges descent and Valverde materializes next to us shouting “Vamanos! Vamanos!” My only reaction was “dude I don’t get any faster!”, which I muttered about the time he took off and promptly left us all in the dust.
We laughed about that all the way to the finish. So that was a pretty cool memory.
