Having not crashed once in the Ardennes so far this year, compared to last year when he couldn’t keep himself off the ground, Joaquim Rodriguez says he has a big shot at winning Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
“Amstel wasn’t my best day, and I wasn’t able to finish off Flèche Wallonne in the way I wanted to because when we reached my favourite point for attacking I was boxed in,” Rodriguez, who won Flèche in 2012 and who finished fourth last Wednesday, said. “In any case Alejandro [Valverde] was the strongest and he would have won regardless.”
“But on the plus side, my legs are feeling really good and that is extra motivation for Sunday. It’s the last chance for me to do something.”
He says that he is fully fit and rearing to go for today’s race, and wants to prove those who said he has done nothing so far wrong.
“The year I’m in best shape is the year when people say I haven’t done that much [in the Ardennes], so let’s see what happens on Sunday.”
