“I have always been a rather serene rider. I am a pragmatist and realize that if you do things well, there’s no reason that the results won’t follow. I cam to the Tour without a definite goal but the prestige of the event is something that lures you in and extracts more from you. The Tour gave me a desire to exceed my expectations. My life was not very complicated before I arrived at my first Tour and I should point out that when we arrived in the Alps my condition was good and I was able to take full advantage of that. I had great form and I thought I should test myself to see how far I could go. _ “It was a will to win that pushed me further, but also the support of my family. Every day I thought of my family over in Colombia and here I have lived out something that I’ll remember for a long time to come.”
