“I showed I am reliable”
Luis León Sánchez finished the 34th in the last stage of the
Volta, which arrived this Sunday on the Circuit of Catalunya. The
rider from Murcia finished the race very close to the final podium
in this ProTour race but at the end he was the fourth, 45 seconds
behind winner Joaquím Rodríguez but only two seconds behind
Estonian Rein Taaramae who took place three.
“I am a little bit disappointed for finishing so close to the
podium”, explained the Caisse d’Epargne rider. “But anyway I
know I have no right to be unhappy because after I was
on the podium in Paris-Nice, I showed one more time
that my team can rely on me in this kind of race and that
I am able to fight everyday to try and win.”
“We lost any possibility to finish on the podium for
trying to win a stage and at the end both have escaped
us but the most important thing of all this is that I could
one more time rely on my team-mates’ complete
support. They trust me each time more and they help me
at any time during the races in which I take part.”
Luis León Sánchez, which next objectives are the three Classics
of the Ardennes, Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne and Liège-
Bastogne-Liège, will participate in the Circuit de la Sarthe which
first stage will take place on April 6.
“In a first time I decided to rest till then but I know by
experience that it is not good for me to remain too much
time without competing. I will take part in the French
race being very confident but at the same time I will take
it easy and just wait and see what happens”, concluded
the rider from Murcia at the end of the 90th edition of the Volta.
