Astana manager happy with Tour de France team



Stage 13 of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France was “a very easy day” for team Astana, according to manager Alexander Vinokourov. And how could he not have been pleased when captain 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vincenzo Nibali won the stage, his third this year, and b♈uilt𒉰 up his overall lead?
“We tried to control things, and some have been left behind, but Vincenzo was very good, and Porte, for example, had problems,” he said on Biciciclismo.com. Richie Porte (Team Sky) suffered on the da🤪y and dropped from second ෴place to 16th overall.
“Vincꦏenzo saw the opportunity, has been superb, and you have to enjoy the moment,” Vinokourov said. "Nibali has shown, once again, that he is the boss and he has made it very clear so that all understand it."
There are still eight stages, however, and much climbing to go, and Nibali will need helpers. 16🐭8澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jak🌱ob Fuglsang was unable to help on Friday after cra♈shing. Saturday’s Alpine stage 14 is expected to be a “tough day, we’ll see how the team is. Maybe it will be weaker than other days,” he said.
As for Fuglsang, “withཧ the heat it may be a tough day for him. Anyway, we will try to control the race,” Vinokourov said.
