Menchov still fighting
Giro d'Italia winner Denis Menchov:sitting next to Flecha sipping a cafe latte also spoke to Giant on how he felt the race has progressed so far.
Well, I’m still here, and I’m still fighting for the overall, even if it wasn’t a
brilliant start to the Tour. The cuts on my right arm from my crash are healling and I’m starting
to feel a bit better.
The start of the Tour de France was definitely affected by my crash in the Tour of Italy on the
last day. I stopped training for four days and I didn’t come here in top condition.
My team-mate Flecha thinks that tomorrow in the Vosges we’ll see some action overall, but I
disagree. It’s too close to the Alps.
