The Segovian cyclist made these statements at the end of his traditional participation in Bike Turkey Race no chain held in Segovia on Christmas morning, and in which he has been competing since he was fifteen years old.
Delgado said that these cyclists are “They are real stars, because of modern cycling, where everything is controlled and you always have to attack the last port, this generation of runners has arrived who attack 100, 80, 60 kilometers from the finish line”, and they didn’t wait for the last chance to make a difference.
“We cycling fans are lucky because we got to experience epic cycling againfrom the time of Eddy Merckx, or Luis Ocaña, in which everything was more individual,” said Delgado, who added: “It’s appreciated that they have that competitive mentality because it makes the races more fun.”
Furthermore, the Segovian said the profile of the Vuelta Ciclista a España “is very typical of this Vuelta, with many high finishes and very nervous stages”and also emphasized the fact that it left Italy, which “shows the great interest that the Vuelta a España is generating outside our borders.”
Delgado reviewed three of the most promising Spanish riders, Juan Ayuso and Carlos Rodríguez, from whom he expects “a little more” this year.
