David Valero: “I will go to the World Cup with the illusion of fighting for the world champion rainbow jersey”

Date:

He carries it on top of the bike and carries it when he talks. The Baza runner David Valero is another since he won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics last year. The leader of BH-Temple Cafes was found in the Riojan formation headed by din Olympic medalist Carlos Coloma the environment and professionalism necessary to continue to grow, and the proof of this is the results of a very good period, where it has become less. ‘the long’ attending MD in the past Let’s Gets World Championship (France)), in which he is confident after signing three podiums and a victory in World Cupon a track he likes and with the first goal of improving the 11th of the last edition of World championship.

After the good results obtained in the World Cup, you rose to second place in the general classification, do you see yourself as a choice to take it?

I’m second, 125 points behind Nino (Schurter), that’s a lot of points to catch up with him, but whatever happens in a race, to him and to me. I want to keep this second place and if I can fight for the first place I will try to cut those points, but we are talking about Nino and I am sure he will not just give up.

The final round of the World Cup will take place in Val di Sole (Italy) on September 4.

I like the circuit. But this was the venue for the World Championship last year, where Nino won, and it benefited him a lot, but we have to be positive, we are having a very regular season and we hope that we have options to have a good career. .

It creates a season to frame.

It was one of the best seasons in my sports career. I think after winning the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, I’m calmer about this obsession with looking for results and I think it gives me peace of mind and helps me perform at a slightly higher level that level. And it’s been a very good season and very demanding, because in the end it started early, but I’m happy with the performance this year.

It’s never easy to make a podium finish at the World Cup.

Being on the World Cup podium again shows how solid we have been throughout the season and how consistent we are. I think this is a good result for me and for my whole team.

Where was the key to its high performance?

In silence, with the strength of the entire team structure, BH Templo Cafés, we are working hard in terms of performance, material, and evaluation of each of the circuits of many. But I think ultimately it also has to do with the peace of mind that the bronze medal in Tokyo gave me.

How will you get to the World Cup this weekend?

The scope is very wide. We will fight to be as far as possible, because ultimately my goal this year is the World Cup and to do my best, to fight for a rainbow jersey, which will make me really happy. It’s a very difficult race, because it’s still a World Cup and all runners reach the top, but it’s not impossible.

Can you imagine doing the double, World Cup and World Cup?

Doing doubles is the best and I think I can retire quietly (laughs). We will work and in recent weeks we have been able to give the body a good and final squeeze, because it can be improved a little to get to Les Gets even better.

Does the Les Gets circuit suit your characteristics?

The circuit, the truth, I like. It’s always difficult. I’ve had two top 10 finishes here, which means if a World Cup was played here today, you could repeat a top 10 or come first, although ultimately it depends on the day.

The only thing is that after your final results as soon as they move they will go for you.

Yes, I think I will be a pretty closely watched rider, because of the performance we give and because my rivals know that the circuit suits me. I think they will consider us, but I went to Les Gets with a lot of enthusiasm and I’m trying to do my best.
