After top performances at the last two Vueltas and the 2016 Giro, many expect Esteban Chaves to target the Tour de France in 2017. The Colombian climber says he isn’t sure if 2017 is the year for him to make his Tour debut however.
Speaking during his press conference on the second rest day of the Vuelta, where he is lying third overall, Chaves said, "Right now, the thought of doing the Tour isn't something that I'm going crazy about. We will have to see what other races are good for me and which ones suit Esteban Chaves the best. A lot will depend which route suits me the best."
The Orica-BikeExchange climber has won stages in both the Giro and Vuelta and was second in the Giro and is set to finish at least fourth in the Vuelta.
