After being thrown out of the Tour de France last season for getting a ride in a team car for 100 yards, Eduardo Sepulveda has returned to the race once more as the leader of Fortuneo-Vital Concept.
“It’s a pleasure that I am back at the Tour. It’s a dream for me,” Sepúlveda said in a Fortuneo – Vital Concept release. “Despite my injury, the team expressed confidence in me, and the objective will be at the front in the high mountains.”
Sepulveda, a climber, isn’t sure how he will do over three weeks, after being thrown out 14 stages in last year in his first Grand Tour.
“I just don’t know how my body will hold up for three weeks,” Sepúlveda said. “Two years ago, I missed the Tour due to a knee injury. Last year, what happened, happened, so I hope to get a result that will help me forget about all of that. Someday I hope to smile and take something out of the race.”
