the murcian Luis Leon Sanchez (Bahrain Victorious) was left with honey on his lips with third place after trying to surprise himself in the last km of the stage between the stars who formed the winning break of the day.
“They reached me 2 km from the finish line, when I was already having cramps. I had to play it from afar because there was a very fast rival in the breakaway. At my age I am no longer very explosive. There is no other option but to try it this way, the team has no one for the overall classification or for the top 10 and you have to look for stages, ”explained the Mula cyclist at the finish line.
Luis León Sánchez, 38 years old and winner of 4 stages on the Tour, will try to find the goal to win one stage, although now the Tour is entering the most demanding alpine stages, with a series of goal of Granon and Alpe D’Huez from this Wednesday.
“There are only two weeks left in the race and anything can happen. It’s hard to win, but we have to try, although recovery was not the same when he was 25 years old. I climbed the last km and I started praying, but the prayers had no effect, ”he said.
Regarding the demonstration incident that delayed the race by 15 minutes, the veteran Murcian cyclist was not surprised.
“The Tour de France has had a lot of impact and we have already experienced other similar situations.”
