What do you think of the La Vuelta route?
Very difficult, the fact is that it is a special edition that leaves from Barcelona, but at the same time it is a difficult route, which has to be reached very well because in the third stage, the difficult and important ports have to go up With great desire because he left Barcelona and give the maximum.
If you had to pick one episode that fans shouldn’t miss, what would it be?
The truth is that there is a very difficult stage and at any stage you can lose time, you must always be attentive for 21 days. But to put it, the three, four stages, like Tourmalet, L’Angliru and Sierra de Madrid, for about 210 kilometers and all the ports there.
On the third day, La Vuelta has arrived in Andorra, the country you live in, arriving in Arinsal, what can move us forward?
It’s a tough stage, we know the ports and in the end it’s the speed that will make the difference. We will see.
What stage do you think you could have done better?
I will sign to win a stage and anyone is worth it, as long as there is a chance and I can.
What goals have you set for yourself this year?
Helping the team as much as possible and that includes helping your teammates, and if you can get a victory, so be it.
How do you think it will affect La Vuelta being held this year after the World Cup?
Let’s see, because there are Tour riders who want to go to the World Cup, others will go to the Giro d’Italia and prepare differently to go to the World Cup and then to La Vuelta. It will be seen. It’s a different year, but I don’t think it will affect people who want to go to the Vuelta later, on the contrary, maybe it helps to put those kilometers and that toughness in shape.
Do you see yourself doing the Giro this year?
No, I think it will be Tour y Vuelta, and the truth is that it is a calendar that I like and I want to finish the Tour this year that I wasn’t able last year and I want to help my teammates as much as possible. .
Do you want to go one step further and lead your team, the UAE Team, on a great cycling tour?
No, I’m fine, calm, and the truth is whatever the team needs at any given time, it’s time to do another job and we’ll see about it.
How is your UAE Team partner Juan Ayuso, who finished 3rd in La Vuelta last year?
He did very well last year and finished third. We hope he will do the same or improve and it will be a very good result.
