168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Thibaut Pinot will tackle the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a España next month, having finally 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:recovered from the illness and problems that took him out of the Giro d'Italia on the penultimate day. He will ride the Tour of Poland (Au🌱gust 4-10) as his only warm-up race.
"For those who are interested in actuality with @LeTour, I resume competition on @Tour_de_Pologne and I am very impat🔥ient!" he tweeted.
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Groupama-FDJ rider was in🐽 a comfortable third place on stage 20 of this year's Giro, but saw his podium place disappear the next day. He finished 45:32 down on the stage, dropping to 16th overall. H💞e was taken to hospital that evening and removed from the race, suffering from pneumonia and exhaustion.
The 28-year-old has finished i𓄧n the top 10 four times in ♍the 10 Grand Tours he has ridden, with one 16th place and the rest DNF.
"It’s not that it just happens often, it always happens. Apart from the 2014 Tour [where Pinot placed 3rd overall – ed.], I’ve never been at 100% like the other leaders in three-week races," Pinot told L'Equipe in mid-June.
"I have the impression that it happens to me every time, even though I follow long-term treatments to help my immune system. It’s hard to deal with in your head, because I know that my only enemy is myself an🍨d my health. That's maybe what differentiates me from the great riders, who stay at 100% over three weeks."
After a nearly three month racing pause, he will start in the Tour of Poland in mid-August, to be followed by his third꧒ Vuelta. He finished 7th i🐟n the race in 2013, and did not finish the next year, abandoning on the 11th stage.
