Alberto Contador, doble vencedor del Tour de Francia se mostró sorprendido por la dureza del Muro de Huy

Alberto Contador, doble vencedor del Tour de Francia se mostró sorprendido por la dureza del Muro de Huy, principal dificultad de la 74 edición de la Flecha Valona que afrontará hoy y que los corredores deberán ascender en tres ocasiones.

Contador, que reconoció los últimos 60 kilómetros de la prueba francesa, subió en dos ocasiones la Cota de Huy y su impresión fue contundente.

"Me acordaba más o menos del muro de Huy, pero me ha parecido incluso más duro de cómo lo recordaba, tiene unos últimos 700 metros increíbles", señaló.

SUS FAVORITOS

Para Contador, los favoritos de esta carrera se encuentran entre "los que disputaron la Amstel Gold Race: corredores como Philippe Gilbert, Cunego, Ivanov y otros como Alejandro Valverde. Ellos serán la referencia".

El único vencedor español de Tour, Vuelta y Giro espera ver cómo responde tras los esfuerzos de Castilla y León y el viaje desde Santiago.

"Es difícil sacar conclusiones tras un viaje de casi 2.000 kilómetros. Las sensaciones no han sido las mejores, pero confío en que mañana cambien", señaló.

Contador señaló algunas de las diferencias entre la carrera de mañana y la del domingo, la Lieja Bastoña-Lieja.

"Lieja es una carrera bastante más exigente que ésta, la gente llega más tocada al final porque son 60 kilómetros más y el desnivel acumulado también es bastante mayor. Espero hacerla bien y seguir conociendo estas pruebas, pero hay corredores más experimentados y más mentalizados que yo, que llego un poco más tranquilo", concluyó.

"There are brokers who think they're better than me, as Leon and Luis Valverde. Alexander already knows how to win at the Tour of the Mediterranean and has also been in Australia and Almeria. At the beginning of the year was very noticeable more days of competition . But in a race like Paris-Nice on fan favorites in very broad. They are also Samuel Sanchez, Frank Schleck, Sandy Casar and Chavanel among many, "he said.

There are runners who think they're better than me, as Leon and Luis Valverde

Pinto rider agreed with the route of the Paris-Nice.

"It's a good ride, but the difference is that the arrival on high, in Mende, is short and very explosive. I got in 2007 and the differences were minimal. This year's victory will be decided by a few seconds and bonuses will probably important. The last three days of mountain will be very difficult to control, as always in Paris-Nice. The podium will be decided by very little, "he said.

For the initial trial on Sunday, Contador expects to have his new bike for this specialty. "

"It still has not reached the United States, but arrive on time and I do my best lap time. The route has hills, is 8 kilometers fairly flat, but still hope to be with the front. Last year I got the victory, but I think this year is the same level, "he concluded.
