You'll see some riders with route info taped to their top tubes.

Either different gears or a minor problem and less time lost by swapping at the top of the climb, it did look like a planned change.

... it did look like a planned change.

That's what I was thinking - whether he was changing to a different set-up, and if so what? I guess someone will ferret out the reason later.

Could either be gears for the descent or gears for the last climb, remember the road to TT bike swaps on that hilly TT last year.

Looks like Valverde is going to give it a punt.
