News: Wout Poels to focus on the Tour de France
Wout Poels to focus on the Tour de France this season. The rider who was sixth in the last Vuelta a España wants to win a stage for the first time in the French Tour. He may also be the joint leader of his team Bahrain Victorious.
Mikel Landa, who finished fourth in the Tour last year, and Pello Bilbao (the number five in the Giro d’Italia) also announced their focus on the Tour de France. “For me it always takes a while to see how I get through the first week,” Poels told AD. “It remains to be seen how Mikel will come out of the Giro, but if he is in top form, he will be among the best and we will ride for him. But it is good to have several options. That’s how I see my role for the time being. ”
After the Tour, the Dutchman, who celebrated his 33rd birthday last fall, would also like to go to the Olympic Games in Tokyo. “The course with a lot of climbing suits me well. But of course I must first ensure that I am selected. That’s why I have to be in shape in the Ardennes races. ” The fact that the Games follow close to the Tour, he calls “not ideal”. “But we have to make do with it. I don’t see it as a very big problem. In any case, getting off the Tour earlier is not an option for me. ”
