Alejandro already imponed his law in Andalucia

The Spaniard won the prologue

In spite of the rain that began to fall when he was halfway to the finish, Alejandro was the best rider today on the 6 kilometers. He was 2 seconds faster than Simon Spilak and 4 seconds faster than Tyler Farrar, which gives him the opportunity to already wear the red jersey.

“To be honest, I’m the first one who is surprised about this result”, told Alejandro. “My condition was good, but I made the course 20 seconds faster than last year, and that’s a huge improvement. I knew the course and only watched it by car today; I didn’t do a bike recce, but I found good legs right from the start. This victory is important for my confidence, especially because it’s a time trial. That means the work we’re doing on the TT bike is paying off already. There’s still huge room to improve, but we’re on the right track. We made strong work during the winter on my TT position, I always train twice a week on that bike and that was important today. I feel more confident and calm this season – less kilometers of training than in previous seasons at this point, but having no pressure is doing well. We didn’t know what to do after Mallorca: Algarve, Haut Var, Andalucía – it wasn’t clear, because in this time of the year, it’s all about keeping the focus and searching for races that take a smaller effort, shorter routes, no long trips. My plan wasn’t coming here to win, but we have a great squad and some of my team-mates should be up-front here too. It will be a really tough race.”
