After highs of winning the Bayern-Rundfahrt, breaking the Hour Record and making Movistar’s Tour de France team, Alex Dowsett suffered the low of having to abandon his debut Tour. Now, he hopes to end the season well with good performances in his home Tour of Britain and the Worlds.
While he likes performing at home, he says it will be very hard for him to challenge on GC for the eight-stage race.
There’s no time trial this year and there’s quite a substantial mountaintop finish,” Dowsett told Cyclingnews in Częstochowa, Poland, referring to stage five’s finish atop Hartside Fell in Cumbria.
“The main targets, and they are subject to change, will be the world team time trial championships and world individual time trial championships.”
Dowsett is currently racing at the Tour of Poland and will be a favorite for the final stage, a 25km TT around Krakow.
