Ends the season (and quite possibly the career?) for Valverde. As for Quintana, this is devastating, as Valverde was going to be the main domestique for Movistar. Sky now has 4 in the top ten, but most importantly Froome has a pretty good lead already over the top GC contenders. Given the flat course, Froome may already have won this race as attacks and big time gaps will be lessened. Hopefully I'm wrong.
