I'm of course not so happy that I didn't ride in the Tour de France and that was my first time that I didn't do the Tour for years. So, it was not so good for me not to ride the Tour, but after my broken ankle in the spring, I was good in the rest of the classics. I also hope to be good for the rest of the season and now I'm a little bit like in the Vuelta, or maybe a little bit better. I'm happy.

Now I too can profit from the train which is at Petacchi's disposition.

Still, I leave with a lot of good memories and a good number of friends.

I have the possibility of starting fresh with a new team and offering some of my own experience to my new teammates. I'm excited at that prospect.
