168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ryder Hesjedal will head to the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Beijing with a team capable of contesting the overall and also hunting stages victories on the day’s suited to the sprinters. Hesjedal and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dan Martin will focus on being competitive on the more selective stages while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Heinrich Haussler will look to depart 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Garmin-Sharp an✅d enter the off-season on aꦏ high by taking a stage win.
It’s been a long season for Hesjedal and Haussler who both began their year with Tour Down Under in Australia but despite already taking a historic victory at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d’Italia He🎐sjedal says he’s extremely motivated for the second edition of tꩵhe event which begins on 9 October.
"If I made it through the Tour (de France) and had my normal schedule I probably would have stopped after Montréal like the last couple of years but I left the Tour after only getting a week in and only h꧅aving the Olympics left me a little short of race days through August," said Hesjedal from his hotel in Beijing.
"I started the season at Down Under and it’s almost been like t🌠wo seasons in a way," said the Canadian Hesjedal.
Beijing will be Haussler’s final WorldTour race with the team managed by Jonathan Vaughters as he begins next season with the newly 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:announced IAM Cycling team. Haussler will also hope to fi♓nish his season on the top step of the podium in a stage - something he last did at the Tour of Beijing in 2011. The Australian has come agonisingly close 🙈on multiple occasions; finishing on the podium at Volta ao Algarve, GP Ouest Plouay and Eneco Tour but has missed out on getting the win.
After a strong ride in difficult conditions at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro di Lombardia where he finished sixth, Hesjedal is hopi🐬ng that the team will be in the mix for the general classification. Teammate Dan Mart🦋in has also showed his condition when he finished 16th at Lombardia and will enter the race will the general classification and stage victories on the agenda.
"Some of the riders that are here, that shows they are 𓄧hoping that there is some selection in the GC on some days and that will shape the race for the overall," Hesjedal said.

"On the days for the sprinters we’ll be ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlooking to set up Heinrich, so I definitely think t🍨he team is suited to whatever the race has for us."
