Along with hoping for a strong performance in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France this summer, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Christrian Vande Velde (Garmin Barracuda) is targeting the Olympics. The London Games come days after the Tour finishes in Paris and Vande Velde, a particip🏅ant in Beijing fouဣr year ago, realises that London will be his final Olympic opportunity.

Now 35, Vande Velde is part of a generation that has seen professional cycling go through a number of significantly difficult moments. Having turned professional in the same year as the Festina scandal [1998], he has seen the sport endure more than it’s fair share of troubles.

However he now believes that the sport has become cleaner and that his 4th place at the Tour de France in 2008 is proof. Vande Velde also talks about doubts he had as a rider when competing for US Postal at the start of his career.
