Alberto Contador is in Abu Dhabi where the annual gala of the UCI was held today and the Abu Dhabi Tour starts on Thursday, and so he was not at the Tour de France presentation. However, he still had the chance to comment on the course for what will be his big goal in his first year at Trek-Segafredo.
"I think it will be a very interesting Tour. It begins with a short time trial that will create the first differences and then quickly, in the fifth stage, we will have the first summit finish. There are not many uphill finishes but there are many tough stages which can be very important and then finally a time trial of 23 kilometers which is not completely flat and short," said according to Biciciclismo.
"I do not dislike the course. Now I will prepare. I am very motivated and excited for the Tour which will be my great objecive next year."
