Vuelta Stage 6 - Valverde Shows no Pity in the Heat

It seems you just can't keep that old rogue Alejandro Valverde down.  After doing plenty of donkey work on the lower slopes of the final climb for his supposed team-leader, the sly-old-dog  slipped away from a very select group to take the stage ahead of the Froome-Dog and Contador.

The Valverdoodle also moved himself into the overall lead.

Meanwhile, in 120th spot was Peter-No-Points.

Mind you, he still did better than supposed climber Carlos Betancur, whose main goal for the Vuelta this year seems to be to hang around the back of the Peloton looking portly, (sorry Mungo).

So the Stage 6 scores stacked-up like this, with the Rouleurs looking the most impressive in the mountains.
