Iban evaluates rivals

After finishing second on yesterday`s stage, Iban spoke to El Mundo Deportivo to give his assesment of his main rivals: "Valverde is always there. It was a pity that Contador punctured, although he struggled a bit when the pace got higher. Moreau was the one who rode the hardest, and he`s no doubt going to be a difficult man to beat in this Tour. Vinokourov dropped off a little, but he`s still dangerous and won`t give up without a fight".
