168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alberto Contador thinks the 2014 Vuelta a Espa&nꦆtilde;a is even harder than the 2012 edition he won, confirming that he plans to be at th𓂃e start in Jerez de la Frontera after also targeting the Tour de France in 2014.

"The uphill finishes are longer than in 2012. That encourages me because I am not an explosive climber. In shorter climbs with huge gradients the explosive climbers canಞ take time on me.🃏 But it all depends on the legs I have at that moment."

The Vuelta route was🐈 revealed on Saturday and includes eight uphill finishes and three time trials, one team time trial and two individual ones.

"I like the route, yes," Cont🌱ador commented from the Tinkoff-Saxo training camp on the Canary Islands. "It's the same format as previous years with the spectacle the public wants. It's a race for the pure climbers with the uphill finishes and the time bonuses." 

Contador already 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:confirmed in September that the the Vuelta is on his programme for 2014 but he will ride it after he Tour de France which is a main objective for the Spaniard. He likes the route but doesn't know how good his form will be at the start of the Vuelta in Jerez🔯 de la Frontera. 

"It's important to remember that i♚t will be the second Grand Tour I will do at 100 per cent that year. I don't know how I'll be at the Vuelta after I did the Tour de France,"  he said.

Contador is training in plain Sportful kit with his teammates in the sun on Gran Canaria. The riders visited the Palmitos Park Delfinarium near their hotel during a rest day on Sunday. The new 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tinkoff-Saxo team and the new jers🍷ey will be presented on on Tuesday.

"I am having a good time 🧜here. My preparation for the new season is much calmer and more organized than it was. I have to keep working hard bꦍut I do things the best way possible and hope it will be rewarded this season. I am optimistic person who enjoys what he does so I am encouraged by how things stand at the moment," Contador said.
