6 Quotes by Manolo Saiz

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

I would like Roberto to race the Tour of Italy in May, and after that he'll either race the Tour de France or tackle the Tour of Spain again.

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.

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.

The return of Armstrong is a manner very sporting to confront the situation they've created for him. It seems to me 100 percent correct and I encourage him to return, because he's a great champion and it's logical that he does it.

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.
