168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nicolas Roche (Ag2r-La Mondiale) is gunning for a top-ten finish in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France despite a less than ideal preparation for the Frenꦆch Grand Tour.

The 26-year-old Irishman was forced out of the Critéཧrium du Dauphiné🔯; last month after a serious crash on stage 5. Roche was left with multiple injuries including cuts to his arm, thigh💫 and chin.

At the Tour de France 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:teams’ presentation at the Puy du Fou this afternoon the Irishman only had a light 𝔉dre𒈔ssing on his right elbow as a reminder of the crash and despite admitting to feeling tired and having nerves ahead of Saturday’s first stage he remains confident that he can live up to expectations and compete in the mountains.

Earlier this year Roche told Cyclingnews that, "This route suits me well. The route in 2010 suited me well, too. There are a lot of mountains! It'll be important to prepare well for the team time trial. I heard that even though 23 kil🔯ometres is short, a team could lose one and half to two minutes on that day. Every second will count for a good result."

Last year Roche climbed his way to 14th place overall in Paris and this year, despite his Dauphiné set back, he is aiming at a top ten slot. He also confirmed that he will once again ride the Vuelta a España - his๊ favourite race - ⭕and where he finished 7th overall.
