Samu: "2009 Tour will be tough"


Like almost every other rider, Samu has given a rather dull assessment of the 2009 Tour de France parcours. The words "hard" and "difficult" are usually the most frequently used when riders are to describe the Tour, and Samu is no exception. Here's what he had to say: "ASO want to create passion and to put on a show, because the leader's jersey can change shoulders from day to day. It looks like a very hard Tour to me, and the last week will be for the stage-race specialists because of the tough Alps and the Mont Ventoux." He further stated that he hadn't planned next season yet, because it had been impossible due to all his post-Olympic engagements. Right now he just wanted to "rest and disconnect".

I'm really looking forward to know about who will go to the different taces next season. Magnus, what do you think? Will Igor be the captain in the Vuelta again, or will he be racing the Tour? What about Sammy? It will certanly be interesting to see.

Samu will, barring injury, lead the team in the Tour. No one really knows about Igor, I don't think he does himself either.

So long, Magnus, but maybe a long interview it's the necesary interview next to a long period without Igor. I have liked too mutch, but maybe it would be too mutch long for the blog... and too mutch work for you if you try to translate it.
