You can't fault Phil Gil for withdrawing from the Vuelta.
He finally won with the rainbow stripes on (stage 12), got a second place on stage 7 and a solid 15th on stage 14-the epic stage to Andorra. He climbed off his bike around the 54km mark of today's stage won by an excellent solo ride to France by Frenchman Alexandre Geniez (FDJ).
