On top of that, the Colombian says ꦗthat he will be battling to take the lead on stage seven’s trek through the Abruzzo mountai⛄ns, which he calls “a semi-Classic” in terms of difficulty.
“I’m doing well, I’m in good shape and I want the pink jersey,♔” Urán, seventh and best young rider in the 2012 Giro d'Italia, told Colombian station Radio Caracol before blaming the media for all the rumours of internal dissent in the team.
“They say we’re not united, but that’s just the press talking. Both Sergio [Henao] and🍷 I came here to do a job for Bradley Wiggins. We will be focusing on the third week, which is where there’s the bulk of the high mountain stages.”
As for his own chances, Uran said “We’ll take it on the day by day.♍ This isn’t like the Tour which you can control much more easily. If there’s not t🐬oo much work, the top five is possible.”
He refused to comment in detail on rumours that he will be quitting Team Sky at the end of 20൲13.
“This year my contract ends,” he told Radio Caracol, “we’re still ta💫lking and nothing’s yet set out in a contract. There are possibilities of other teams. But we’ll wait until the Gir꧅o is over before deciding.”

Rather than do a Wiggin𒉰s Giro-Tour double, Uran revelaed he will be doing the Vuelta, with a view to building up for the World’s, a route which suits him well. Urán traditionally has strong finishes to the year, with a third place in Il Lo🎃mbardia a few years back. “If I did the Tour, then I wouldn’t have such good chances for the World’s,” he said.
