Even tho I hope he won't do the Tour,I dont know what should be his goal?
3rd again (due to TT and cobbles he practicaly doesnt stand a chance against Froome and Contador even in his best form) or stages?I would like polka dot,but thats not realistic.
ASO desperately needs to create action in polka dot competition:eek:,new point system,better prize money or something, but they have to motivate riders.

If his goal is to win a grand tour then riding the entire TdF would be a mistake. It certainly would put him at a disadvantage against his Vuelta gc rivals.

Interesting news. Purito will take TDF

...and you folow that sentence with a link to Ekimov saying the Tour can't be completely excluded? :confused:

Yesterday Joaquim gave a short interview to Cadena Ser. Says he doesn't see how he could possibly be in form for the Tour, it's too soon after the Giro and he's been in good form for very long already

I recall Contador winning one race earlier this year but I have not seen (or I missed) any news on his preparation for the TdF. Will he be riding any races before the TdF?
If not I suspect he will fare poorly.

I tried searching on the Tinkoff Team website but it requires signing in and I refuse to provide personal data.

Critérium du Dauphiné is his next race as far as I know. Anything besides that I don´t know.
