"Iban`s in excellent shape"

Those are the words of Iban`s directeur sportif Joxean "Matxin" Fernández. "Matxin" spoke to El Mundo Deportivo yesterday, and expressed his faith in Iban and his form: "Iban`s in excellent shape. But we don`t want to brag about it, we`ll go little by little (whatever that means)." He further talked of the stages in the Alps: "They are going to be beautiful and important stages, as they`ll decide a part of the Tour. After the Alps we`ll know what riders won`t be fighting for the win in the Pyrenees."
