Ex-rider Álvaro González de Galdeano has generated great expectations by making complimentary comments about
Mikel Landa, a cyclist from Alava of the Bahrain Victorious team, in a chat with his colleagues from Cadena Ser in Vitoria.
With the
Tour de France about to begin on Basque soil, Galdeano expressed his belief that Landa has the potential to perform well in cycling's most prestigious race and fight for the podium: "I have the feeling that Mikel Landa can do a great Tour and fight for the podium."
Galdeano, winner of a team time trial and the overall team classification with ONCE at the Tour de France, is an authoritative voice in the cycling world. His comments on Landa's talent and abilities should not be taken lightly. Landa, a native of Alava, has proven to be an exceptional cyclist throughout his career and has achieved outstanding results in several competitions.
The Bahrain Victorious rider has been recognized for his ability in the mountain stages, where he shows impressive endurance and an ability to attack at key moments. In addition, Landa has accumulated experience in the Tour de France, having excelled in previous years and obtained outstanding positions in the general classification.
With the Tour de France on Basque soil, the enthusiasm among local fans is palpable. The opportunity to see a cyclist from the region shine in the most important race on the cycling calendar is cause for excitement and hope. Mikel Landa, backed by the support of his team and his undeniable talent, is ready to face the challenge and fight for the podium.
However, the Tour de France is a high-level competition and the battle for the top places will be fierce. Landa will not be alone in his quest for the podium, as other renowned cyclists will also be looking to achieve that goal. The race will be full of emotions, surprises and tactical strategies, and only time will tell if Galdeano's words come true.
