With experience comes tranquility. Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) couldn't have been calmer as he pulled out of the peloton to get a front wheel change. Valverde is the oldest rider in the peloton with his 42nd birthday coming this week. Watching the wheel change, I was reminded of the Indy 500 pit stop row complete with power tools being used to change his wheel. I suspect that the fan holding the Colombian flag would have hoped to be this close to one of his countrymen in the race as opposed to this rather famous Spanish cyclists. The Movistar team leader was easily able to chase back onto the peloton rather quickly due to a skilled wheel change by his mechanic.
