Alejandro will start his Tour at 5:12 PM

Tomorrow, 4 July, the Tour de France will begin in Utrecht (The Netherlands) with a 14 km individual time trial. Alejandro will take the start at 5:12 PM.

This afternoon, the Spaniard took part in a press conference together with Movista Team mate Nairo Quintana. He declared that:

“We participate with a clear goal in mind: winning the Tour with Nairo. The race is long and there are chances for everyone, but first comes first: yellow in Paris with him is our main priority. There are some good stages for me, like Huy’s on Monday, but the goal is winning overall in Paris. Shouldn’t my tactics spoil the overall strategy of the team, I’ll fight for those opportunities that show up for me. We’ll be aiming to stay at front with Nairo and lost as little time as possible, to play both cards, but if there’s a moment when he needs everything from me to solve a difficult situation, I’ll give everything without any hesitation.”
