Luis Leon Sanchez, who last raced at the Tour de Picardie, will compete tomorrow in the Route du Sud.
The French test will come this Thursday in Pau and Castres will end on Sunday after four difficult stages online.
A month passed since your last race, the Tour de Picardie.
How did you spend all this time?
"It really was not long after the last race.
Those weeks I trained every day, spending hours and hours on the bike.
I uploaded ports, but without many series because I knew I waited four days of competition to return to pick up the pace.
That's really what I need now and I hope that this test, I do not know because he never participated in it, I will do it. "
How do you feel on the eve of leaving Pau?
"I feel good but with a mystery because after the Tour of the Basque Country have not run any other race except Picardie, who were only three days and also in very bad weather.
Sure I guess I will suffer a lot in South Road to reach the desired level. "
South Route is a tough race but a few stages.
Do you think that is the ideal preparation for facing the Tour de France?
"That is very difficult the race is, no doubt because it is going to play very hard and ports up the Tourmalet, the Soulor and Portet d'Aspet.
I do not know is whether this is the ideal preparation before the Tour.
For my part I would have liked to participate in the Tour of Switzerland but after talking with my team, I was told that the Southern Route was more suitable for me.
I hope all goes well here and can achieve the desired level of fitness. "
Missing only two weeks before the start of the Tour.
What will be your state of mind at the start of the lap in Monaco?
"Wanting to do well and waiting time before all that Alejandro Valverde will be with us at the start of this Tour because the whole team around him roda.
I want to be optimistic.
In case you could not be with us, we had to try to get ahead but it would be all very different.
It would be another race. "
Before the Tour, put your title against the champion of Spain in the game.
Do you expect to keep that title?
"It's a race I have in mind but it is an obsession.
If I am it is clear that disputaré but this year I think will be very difficult to win again because my teammate Ivan Gutierrez will be doubly motivated to be racing in his homeland of Cantabria and I think will be the number one favorite. "
