I would like to win a three-week race other than the Vuelta. The Tour is always in my mind but, I insist, that is up to my race director.

There are many stages left on the race, but he made a strong impact, a morale blow to the rest. So far, Liberty and Heras have demonstrated superiority.

The Tour of Spain is the race which has given me the most, but that doesn't mean I don't want to win abroad as well,
behind came key race regret saw strong three today win
In a race of three weeks, the key is to be consistent. The regret today is that I couldn't win the stage. I started the sprint, but Mancebo came very strong from behind me. I saw him coming, but there was nothing I could do.
average bring continues count foreigners forgetting high level maybe names nine percent race riders since teams three week whom
In a three week race, at the end there is always a high level, and more since we are in the UCI-ProTour. Maybe it's not the same level of the Tour, where all teams bring his nine riders at 100 percent level, but the average is very high. Maybe there are no so many names as other years, but the level continues being high. Here we have Mancebo, Aitor Gonzalez, Landis, Mayo, Pereiro and, in general, teams like Comunidad Valenciana, without forgetting that there are always foreigners whom you don't count on and then they ride very well.
aggressive although both hard holding possible race repeat yesterday
If he doesn't yield, it's possible that we'll have a repeat of yesterday in Cerler, although Sastre said that he misunderstands both Mancebo and me. But if Menchov bends, the race will be much more aggressive and everyone will go hard without holding back.

It's the only critical climb (and Pajares a little) like the Angliru that decided the race without a doubt in the other years... I am going to take advantage of the opportunities that I have.

I will enter the final week with tranquility, confidence and, above all, humility, ... I have a lot of respect for my rivals and, just like we saw when I fell last week, the race is never over until you reach Madrid.

Pajares was the stage of my life, the best one I've ever done in any Tour of Spain.

I was very surprised ... I am convinced it is a mistake because I have never taken anything.

We knew it would be hard today, more so with the rain, ... There's still another week to go, so we can't celebrate yet.
attacked beginning climb felt glued hardest
I felt good, especially when I attacked about 5km to go, but I couldn't keep going because this climb isn't that hard. The hardest part was at the beginning and Menchov was glued to my wheel.
