Valverde rates Iban

Speaking to El Mundo Deportivo yesterday, Alejandro Valverde spoke of his main rivals. He rated Christophe Moreau as his biggest challenger for the Tour crown, but also had words for Iban: "Iban looked very good to me. It`s the Iban of three years ago (three?), so he`ll be dangerous and we must consider him (as one of the candidates for the win). If he gets three minutes on you it`ll be hard to get it back".
