The Basque based Orica-GreenEdge sport director Neil Stephens hopes the brothers can give the Australian team a second success on Saturday.
“One of the hardest things✃ in cycling is winning but, one thing [that is] even harde𒅌r is coming back to try and win a second time. We have a difficult task ahead of us but we will be looking for another good result on Saturday,” Stephens in a press release from the team.
“Half of the squad are coming into the team after three hard weeks of racing at the Tour 💮de France and obviously there will be some tired legs out there. Nevertheless we have a strong and versatile line up and we are highly motivated to try and place Adam and𒅌 Simon in the best possible positions throughout the race.
“They’re both on good form right nꦚow and we are aiming for that to continue at the weekend. The change to the final climb may affect our chances a little, but we are ready to give it everything we’ve got to be competitive in the finale.”
