Esteban Chaves : "It's been a long time since I've raced a Grand Tour, and this one is special,"

Colombian rider Esteban Chaves is set to participate in Vuelta a Espana. He did not race in Giro d'Italia and Tour de France this season. He is excited for his first grand tour of the season.

"It's been a long time since I've raced a Grand Tour, and this one is special," says Chaves. He continues, "I'm excited to start La Vuelta. It has always treated me well, and we have a very good team this year. It will be my first grand tour with EF Education-EasyPost," said Chaves,

He missed the last year’s Vuelta a Espana and this year’s Giro and Tour de France."This makes me a bit nervous. But on the other hand, it also gives me a lot of motivation and encourages me to race the best I can. We have Rigo, Hugh, and myself for the overall, and we will never rule out a chance to win a stage, not only with the three of us but also with the rest of the team," concluded Chaves.
