Urán, a member of EF Education-EasyPost, expressed his determination to keep fighting despite the initial setbacks.

These words reflect his unwavering will and commitment to the spirit of competition that defines the Tour de France.
Urán also emphasized the importance of finding beauty in the race, despite the challenges he has faced. He acknowledged that the Tour de France is a demanding and long race, where there is room for illnesses, recoveries, crashes and resurgences.
"It's been a nice, hard, strong and interesting Tour. I haven't had the best legs these days, but the Tour is a long event, with ups and downs. You can get sick and then recover, you can fall and get back up to find a stage," Urán said. His words reflect his resilient attitude and his ability to find motivation in difficulties.
The Colombian rider also spoke about his expectations for the upcoming mountain stages. With optimism and confidence in his experience in mountain terrain, Urán hopes to take advantage of these crucial stages to improve his position in the general classification.
