Someone laughed at me when I said it, but I think that Roberto is a rider for second efforts.

The idea wasn't to get Roberto's bike at any price, but I had the idea I was only going to leave it to someone else at a very high price. The most important thing is that we raised money for the hurricane victims and that we're going to keep the bike for sentimental reasons for everyone at the team.

We chose this cause because it happened during the Tour of Spain and it was in the papers at the same time as Roberto's victory. This isn't a replica, it is the actual bike Roberto rode and so it is a real collector's piece. I hope that someone will pay in the region of 50,000 euros for it.

These sanctions seem to me to be very sad, but the judges are those who give the orders and I do not say anything. I hope that they continue applying the regulation with the same inflexibility in all cases. I did not hear on the radio the indication of where it was compulsory [to keep to one side], but I do not want to make a polemic.

It's a hard and complicated course, but we can't lose our heads about this time trial because there are two mountain stages up next and the real conclusions will be made on the first rest day.
