Rigoberto Uran seems to have settled well at Omega Pharma-Quick Step and has not ruled out doing the Tour de France after he has targeted the Giro d’Italia this year.

He will lead the team in Italy but would also like to be on the start line in Yorkshire with Mark Cavendish and other team leaders and key components to Cavendish’s sprint train, Tony Martin and Michal Kwiatkowski.

"We haven't decided anything about the Tour yet," he pointed out to Cyclingnews, the Colombian sounding very serious.

"I'm in the long list but we'll see what happens. I'm ready to do the Tour. We've got a good team for the Tour with Cavendish, Tony Martin and Kwiatkowski. First I'm going to focus on the Giro d'Italia and then we'll decide if I do the Tour de France too."
