The little Colombian is being good team member and riding the Giro, letting Valverde fight for Le Tour. Not that he had any choice.

I personally am all for team infighting, they should bring them both and let them decide who is best on the slopes of the Alps...

Too bad- Quintana provided for some animated, entertaining racing action in last years Tour but look forward to seeing him light up the Giro.

With Movistar being a Spanish team, makes political and marketing sense to designate Valverde again as captain but he'll likely crack as usual in one of the mountain stages.
