Tweet
Q. Markel, congratulations on your win in the Ruta del Sol! How did you feel when you got the win?
Q. One second was such a small margin, how well did the team work for you?
A. The work of the team was incredible! I think that we had the strongest team.
Q. Normally you’re giving your all in support of one of your team mates, how did it feel to have them riding for you this time?
A. It wasn´t so easy. I was feeling like that wasn´t my position, and my leaders they were working for me! I am looking forward to work again for them, to thank all the work they made.
Q. The ‘Classics’ are now starting, what are your plans for these races and the rest of the season?
A. Not, at all. This year I will do Tour of Pays Basque, and then Amstel, Fleche and Liege.
Q. You’re known as such a strong time trialer, have you set your sites on any TT’s or Prologues that you really want to win in your career?
A. I would like to win in a big race like Paris Nice or Dauphine, but it´s really dificult, so I will try to improve step by step.
Q. With Lance retiring, what are the teams goals for 2011?
A. I think that still we have a strong team. California, Dauphine and Tour of France should be our main goals.
Q. What’s it like to ride for Team Radioshack, under Johan and alongside guys like Robbie McEwen, Andreas Kloden & Levi Leipheimer?
A. It´s amazing. They all are really strong riders, and nice guys.
Q. Earlier this year we saw you in Australia for the Tour Down Under, and you had success in this race winning the KOM jersey in 2009. Do you enjoy the TDU and will we see you back again?
A. I love Australia. The weather, the people... This year also I have enjoyed a lot. I hope to go again...
Q. If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? And why!!??
A. John Q. I have two kids, and if they were really sick, I would do all was in my hands. Each time I watch this filam, I think of my own family
