So, I thought it was peculiar that Spanish riders get upset that someone catches their break away group. Today Valverde gesticulated at Nibali, as the latter joined the lead group after a descent. Nibali must not have been feeling good because he eventually shook hands with Valverde and sat up to wait for the peloton.

In stage 13, Luis León Sánchez was also upset when he was caught and passed by Wiggins leading Boasson Hagen. Since when is the peloton not supposed to catch a break away? Is that really how they want to win a stage?
