Tour de France 2020 Believe to suffer at Orcires-Merlette
northairo Quintana, despite being at the forefront of the Arkea team, did not consider that he could compete on Tuesday’s stage with the big favorites for the general classification. “Be the first battle for the favorites. But I don’t think I can be with them on the final climb“said the one from Boyac, who climbed three times to the podium in Paris.
Second in 2013 and 2015 and third in 2016, Quintana showed his strength in the season before COVID-19 forced the suspension of the races, but he hopes to have his opportunity in harder stages and at more meters of altitude.
This day’s goal located in the port of Orcires-Merlette, a first category port located at an altitude of 1,825 meters, with an ascent of 7.1 kilometers at an average elevation of 6.7%. A very stretched port, with permanent ascent, more conducive to wear and tear than heavy attacks.
The one who does count on being among the best is Miguel ngel Lpez, the leader of the Astana team, who suffered a hard fall on the first day but seems recovered. “I’m fine, today is an important stage, I hope to be with the best,” said “Supermn” Lpez.
