Second overall in the Vuelta a España after the 13th stage of the race, Rabobank's Robert Gesink is now shaping up to be Alejandro Valverde's main rival in the race. The 23-year-old Dutch climber moved up a place on Saturday when Cadel Evans (Silence Lotto) lost time due to a puncture and slow change.
