42 Quotes by Roberto Heras

My first instinct is to win, but it would also be nice to set the record victory mark and pass into cycling history,

I am feeling that my body feels 100 percent for this Vuelta, ... And during the Tour, it just wasn't like that, even though this year was better than last year.

I felt good, especially when I attacked about 5km to go, but I couldn't keep going because this climb isn't that hard. The hardest part was at the beginning and Menchov was glued to my wheel.

I can't figure it out, ... I train for it just as seriously, but I just don't have the same strength. I prepare the same way when the Vuelta approaches, and everything falls together. In Spain I'm at ease and mentally I'm stronger than in other races.

I can't place a particular value on this fourth overall win, I just do my work the best I can. It's up to others to say what value it has.

I will enter the final week with tranquility, confidence and, above all, humility, ... I have a lot of respect for my rivals and, just like we saw when I fell last week, the race is never over until you reach Madrid.

Pajares was the stage of my life, the best one I've ever done in any Tour of Spain.

I was very surprised ... I am convinced it is a mistake because I have never taken anything.

I wasn't looking for either the stage win or the lead, more to open up a time gap on the other favorites.
