There were many difficult stages to control the race like the one in the mountains of Madrid [stage 17] or Avila [stage 18], especially the Madrid stage. The advantage that we got in Pajares [stage 15] was important and this one is maybe the calmest week of the four Vueltas I achieved. Roberto Heras

![[Looking back on yesterday, the six bonus seconds Heras scored weren't intended to be a cushion for tomorrow.] We hadn't prepared anything ... But we were in front and Vicioso launched the sprint. They are only 6 seconds and I do not believe that they are very important for Sunday's time trial, but we had the opportunity and took advantage of it. - Roberto Heras Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=W0xvb2tpbmcgYmFjayBvbiB5ZXN0ZXJkYXksIHRoZSBzaXggYm9udXMgc2Vjb25kcyBIZXJhcyBzY29yZWQgd2VyZW4ndCBpbnRlbmRlZCB0byBiZSBhIGN1c2hpb24gZm9yIHRvbW9ycm93Ll0gV2UgaGFkbid0IHByZXBhcmVkIGFueXRoaW5nIC4uLiBCdXQgd2Ugd2VyZSBpbiBmcm9udCBhbmQgVmljaW9zbyBsYXVuY2hlZCB0aGUgc3ByaW50LiBUaGV5IGFyZSBvbmx5IDYgc2Vjb25kcyBhbmQgSSBkbyBub3QgYmVsaWV2ZSB0aGF0IHRoZXkgYXJlIHZlcnkgaW1wb3J0YW50IGZvciBTdW5kYXkncyB0aW1lIHRyaWFsLCBidXQgd2UgaGFkIHRoZSBvcHBvcnR1bml0eSBhbmQgdG9vayBhZHZhbnRhZ2Ugb2YgaXQuIA==&author=ICBSb2JlcnRvIEhlcmFzICAgIA==&num=9 "[Looking back on yesterday, the six bonus seconds Heras scored weren't intended to be a cushion for tomorrow.] We hadn't prepared anything ...

![The team has been working together very well in the last mountain stage, and I did not have any problem to control the race, ... There were attacks, but maybe [Stage 18] was easier for us. Still, three stages remain, but Madrid is closer every day, although we cannot relax. The stages that remain are already easier to control, and I will come to the time trial with a good cushion of time in my favour. - Roberto Heras Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBSb2JlcnRvIEhlcmFzICAgIA==&num=6 "The team has been working together very well in the last mountain stage, and I did not have any problem to control the race, ...
