Pello Bilbao: "I am feeling very well, I have reinforced the weak points that I had detected"

Pello Bilbao is competing at a high level in the Tour de Suisse with his sights set on arriving in top form at the start of a very special Tour de France for him because it starts in his homeland, the Basque Country. The Bahrain Victorious climber assures that everything is going well in that sense.

"Everything that the race has given us so far has been positive, especially in terms of sensations in this preparation for the Tour, I'm feeling very good and I've strengthened a bit the weak points I had detected," he said this morning.

On the queen stage of the Tour de Suisse he has the following thoughts: "We saw that yesterday there were teams that were quite conservative, others that had a very good day like Felix Gall, who proved to be the strongest in the mountains and I see that today it's others who have to take responsibility, so let's see how we perform in those last 5 km to the finish."

Bilbao doesn't like such long mountain stages because he thinks the riders wait until the end to attack and nothing happens before: "I'm not a big fan of stages of 210 kilometers or more, in the end they make everything concentrate on the finish and subtract a little bit the desire to move and the desire to create spectacle, but well, it may be that on the last climb because of the altitude and the hardness that the group breaks up a little more, yesterday with the headwind it was difficult to make differences."
