Arrow fantastic week
April 1st, 2012 by admin
Still recovering from an operation on his right hand, Juan Antonio Flecha is available once again, to be the protagonist of the two races, at least on paper, with the record in hand, presented more complications Spanish cyclists: Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix.
In the opinion of many, including himself and Juan Antonio are the two most beautiful classical calendar. The Spanish, however, have not been able to win them and while ‘The Ronde’, also known as the Tour of Flanders, the best post of ours is the third Catalan Sky in 2008, the Paris-Roubaix or ‘Hell of the North’ have two seconds, Poblet in 1959 and Arrow in 2007 – and three third-Poblet in 1960 and Arrow in 2005 and 2010 -.
“I like both equally, but almost always given me better Paris-Roubaix”
“I like both equally,” said the Catalan from Argentina, “but has always given me better Paris-Roubaix, but I do not averse to none.” The funny thing is that, being so different races are suitable for the same type of cyclists: “It was like Amstel and Liège,” says Arrow, “are very similar, yet differ. The pavé of Roubaix are more harder than those of Flanders, but these are in the walls and faced with less speed. ” One thing for another.
According to Arrow, “the No. 1 favorite is Cancellara, Boonen but is also very good. For Flanders Freire I would not rule because he is walking very strong. Favorites are the usual” sums up finally. And among them, he: “I will try my best, but after the injury I have no references. I’ll go out to give everything and far reaching,” although Flanders, under conditions, may be the best possible training for Roubaix.
Fall and rehabilitation
Juan Antonio, in fact, almost a month without running. In early March he was enrolled in the Tirreno-Adriatico, but a fall, while training, caused the fracture of the third metacarpal of his right hand, so had no choice but to go under the knife: “It still hurts the hand, but with each passing day a little better and also this is what you get. I know it will bother me, “no doubt an added problem,” but I have to be happy because at least I can run. ”
Until Thursday of last week I could not hit the road, but until I suffered the fall had done a good job “
Arrow, however, has not been stopped this time and has gone from around the roll of the house: “Until Thursday of last week I could not hit the road, but until I suffered the fall had done a good job, was third Tour of Qatar and third in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, and I think I’ve been able to maintain the shape. ” Thanks to rehabilitation, which together with the training has taken a long time, has hardly seen his rivals in action, or the GP E 3 of Harelbeke or Gent-Wevelgem on. “I went to mine and, as I have just seen, I have not spent much envy.” Gone is the accident that killed last year in the Tour, when a car pulled his television, along with Hoogerland, who went through the fence, when they were part of a trip.
“All is well,” he says curtly, not wanting to remember what happened. “A judge opened proceedings, and not because we denunciáramos nothing, and took my statement. Everything runs its course”, then the issue is neither forgotten nor unemployed and who could not fight for the stage win in Saint Flour, perhaps someday get a financial reward for the damages caused.
