Today's stage was probably less difficult than that of yesterday. We let a breakaway go and the team has worked very well, and with a lot of discipline behind. No day is easy, but today our rivals probably paid a bit for the beating that they gave to themselves yesterday, because at this point of the race, it is difficult to recover a bit more. These two stages were the major obstacles that we still had, although there are still two more stages left, plus the time trial. Roberto continues to look very good to me, and he comes to the chrono with an advantage that will allow him to do it with more tranquility. - Roberto Heras Quotes

It's the first time I've seen people waiting outside my home, ... but we're accustomed to this type of news generating more news than the sport. I am serene because I have nothing to hide. I train every day and I don't have to take dope to become better. - Roberto Heras Quotes
