Samu on track for Worlds

While the injuries sustained in the Tour de France kept Samuel Sánchez out of the London Olympics, the Euskaltel team leader, who's set to stay with the team for another few years, is intent on being in top shape for the World Championships in Valkenburg in September.

"The recovery process I'm in might bring me into very good condition for the Worlds", he told Efe. "It'll take a bigger sacrifice than ever though to reach a good level of form".

It's not yet revealed where and when he'll make his return to competition, but he's still got time on his side as there's still more than a month and a half to go before the big day on September the 23rd.
