Contador says Giro-Tour double will be difficult
Saxo Bank-SunGard rider still tired after Gi🔥r♔o success
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alberto Contador admitted that wi💫nning the Giro d'Italia-Tour de France double will be “very difficult” because he can still feel the effects of the Italian race and the fatigue from the huge amountꦍ of climbing in his legs. However he is confident that he will quickly get into his “Tour rhythm” once the racing begins.
Interviewed on Sportweekend, , Contador said: “Rig𒉰ht now I'm tired. My muscles still feel the Giro.”
"It is very difficult to win the Tour anyway, because it requires a specific approach. The Giro was 🎐not the ideal preparation, because it was extremely difficult."
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Saxo Bank-SunGard rider was confident he will be up to the challenge of a second grand tour. “I've had enough rest and will only ride the Spanish road race and time trial championship before the Tour start. But because I love to race, I'll quickly get in the T💯our rhythm."
Last year 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andy Schleck finished second in the Tour, only 39 seconds behind Contador.🍃 The Spaniard said that this year the Leopard Tr🏅ek rider has “the best chance” to challenge him.
"But you also have guys like Evans and Basso and young riders like Van ꦫden Broeck and Gesink. ꦓVan den Broeck rode a very good Tour last year, he showed a lot of ability.” If Van den Broeck continues to make the same progress, “I think he may battle for the final victory."
Contador insisted that the lack of a final verdict in his Clenbuterol doping case from last year's Tour and t❀he possible loss of that and other recent results do not affect him.
