168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) will return to racing this weekend after "two days off" to taജke on the Strade Bianche and Roma Maxima.

Depending on his results there, "if nothing happens" he will then ride the Volta a Catalunya which he w🍷on in 2009. Like 2012's winner of Paris-Nice, Brad🌠ley Wiggins (Sky) Valverde, third overall last start, will not be present for the 'Race to the Sun'.

The 32-year-old told Demarraje Radio Liberty that with back-to-back wins at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a Andalucia and victory at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Trofeo Deià his season is pr🌄ogressing b𒁃etter than he expected.

"I had a quiet start but the truth is that at home I can have a good time and I can almost alw꧋ays train well. And when you're on a roll victories are a little easier to get," he said. "I have trained less on the bike and more at the gym. My condition was not ba🌟d. In Mallorca the first win was very important for motivation and I went to Andalusia thinking I could win."

Va𝓡lverde's tally over just eight days of racing was impressive with four wins - the Trofeo Deià, the Andalucia prologue as well as stage 3 culminating in the overall, plus ruꦰnner-up in stage 1 of Andalucia and third at the Vuelta Ciclista Murcia. Slightly improved from the same time last year where he won a stage at the Tour Down Under before winning a stage and overall at Andalucia.

"I think it has been a very good month," he said. "Now I try to continue working and think of the great objectives... and se🦂e if I can do very well in any of them.ཧ"

Valverde's major objectives in 2013 are the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France, the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a España and the World Championships. Within the three event▨s, one remains his absolute priority.

"The Tour is the Tour and I prefer it to the world championships, although I would prefer to be world champion to be on ไthe Tour podium," he said.
