After a strong Giro d’Italia with a fifth overall, Ryder Hesjedal will be at the start of the La Route du Sud-La Dépêche du Midi this week. The Cannondale-Gamin rider will try to find a good shape in order to be competitive for the Tour de France.
The Canadian rider has ridden Giro and the Tour de France the same year three times.
"We always want to try and get to that place where I won the Giro [in 2012] and had better form when I started the Tour. Twenty-thirteen didn’t work out, it just didn’t come together and I never got enough racing and got sick. Last year I chose not to do the Tour. I gave so much at the Giro and wanted to try the Vuelta and do the second part of the season."
