Roberto Heras Climb Quotations

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.

There's still the stage to Lagos and that will be the key stage, because it's a hard climb and there you can't just follow the wheel.

The team's strategy of upping the pace on the climb proved very important and then I could take over to finish off their work.

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 felt well, especially when I attacked in the tunnel with five kilometres to go, ... But I couldn't continue because this climb wasn't very difficult. The hardest bit was at the beginning, and Menchov stuck to my wheel so that didn't make it easier: there was a headwind.
