Rigoberto Urán, third overall in the Tour de France after a stage in which his Egan Bernal and Nairo Quintana exploded, assured that he does not feel the weight of Colombian cycling on top.
“That weight I already took off five years ago”, after making two consecutive podiums in the Giro d’Italia (2013 and 2014) that made him one of the most sought-after cyclists in the peloton. “The biggest burden was supporting my mother, who I continue to support … and the mother-in-law”he added jokingly.
After the sinking of his compatriots in the Grand Colombier, who are virtually out of the fight for the podium, Urán becomes the main Colombian menu in this Tour, after crossing the finish line 18 seconds behind the winner of the stage, the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, and his compatriot Primoz Roglic, leader of the race.
Urán is third in the general classification, one minute and 34 seconds behind Roglic and 54 seconds behind Pogacar, surpassing in eleven seconds the also Colombian Miguel Ángel ‘Supermán’ López, fourth in the Grand Colombier.
“We are in a good position, there are still a lot of mountain days and an important time” on Saturday, Urán declared after crossing the finish line. “Now we are going to try to get a good rest tomorrow with a good practice and prepare for Tuesday”, in the second alpine stage, ending in Vilard de Lans.
