American sprinter 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tyler Farrar has not received a contract extension from Garmin-Sh♚arp an🎉d is currently without a team for 2014.

The 29-year-old has tasted success in all three Grand Tours in the past but has failed to net a major result on European soil since the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2011 Tour de France. He endured a season full of crashes in 2012, and this year, despite a stage win in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of California, he has failed to hit top form.

He missed out on a slot at the Tour de France for the first time since 2008 this year and is currently racing the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a España, in which he has had three stage victories dಞuring hisജ career: one in 2009 and two in the 2010 race, including the final stage in Madrid.

After that success he was courted by a number of WorldTour teams includ🧔ing RadioShack but with a lack of results he has entered the final stages of 2013 without a signed contract for 2014.

"Obviously it's a bit stressful. I don't know what's going to happen yet for me in 2014," he told Cyclingnews.

At present the option of🍒 staying with Garmin could depend on how the transfer market plays out. The American WorldTour team is currently going through a major transformation with a large number of riders leaving at the end of the season. As yet, Farrar has not been offered a new deal from the team he joined in 2008.

"I don't know," he answered wh💝en aske♈d if he still had a future with Garmin.

"I've not really heard a yes or a no from the🌸m so it's a little bit up to them at the moment. I've been here for quite a while, this team has been my home for quite a few years but🔴 right now it's up in the air and we'll see how it shakes out."

A stage win or two🅘 would certainly alter Farrar's bargain p🍰osition.

"I'm here at the Vuelta and really enjoying myself in the raꦛce. I'm hoping I can get a few results or catch someone's eye, maybe Garmin's eye again. We'll see."

Whether Garmin do offer him a contract or not, Farrar is understandably hoping to remain within the WorldTour ranks. Along with his stages iܫn Grand Tours - six in total - he has also won Scheldeprijs and the Hamburg Classic. Although he has just one win to hꦛis name this season, he has picked up 17 top ten places – 11 of which were second or third.

"Of cꦺourse I'd like to race WorldTour. Last season wasn't the best for me. I had a lot of injuries and crashes. This season has been a bit frustrating. I've only won one race. I've been second a few times and third a few times. I've been in the mix a lot. I hope I can finish the season strong."

"I hope I can get something nailed down sooner rather than later but it's also up the m🐼arket a little bit too."

"I've had success in the Classics, I've had success in the Grand Tour♛s. This year has been a rebuilding year after all the crashes I had last year. I'm getting back on track."
