"I would like to finish in grand tour top ten once" - Rein Taaramäe dreams
CyclingWednesday, 23 August 2023 at 01:00
Cyclist Rein Taaramäe has made it to the Intermarché-Circus-Wanty lineup for this year's Vuelta a España, the last cycling grand tour event of the year. His goal remains the same as in previous years - to hunt stages.
Taaramäe believes his best shot is to grab a stage victory: "I have to go for a stage win; my recovery is not good enough to chase this three-week result. I would like to do one [top ten finish] in a grand tour, but that will be a bit difficult," Taaramäe told ERR's Sport portal in June.
"In fact, I'm something of a one-day rider for grand tours; I go to the Vuelta and hunt for that one day. I've done it before and I'm still capable of doing so; my level is the same as ten years ago," he went on.
This is Taaramäe's seventh Vuelta. Last year, Taaramäe, won one stage and held the lead for two days, later having to stop due to illness. This year's Vuelta starts in Barcelona on August 26.
