It's a flat course that doesn't suit my style, ... Right now all I am focused on is Sept. 18. What happens on Sept. 19 or any day after that, I have no idea. I'm not thinking beyond this Vuelta.

I've been doing a lot of training. Right before this race, I did a big training block, ... I'm ready to go. Two weeks to go and I'm excited. I really like racing in the heat.

I think Azevedo will be in good form, ... I think he can do a good race there.

I'm just taking it day by day, ... My goal is not just to get to Madrid, but to get to Madrid strong. If I get there and feel good, then I'll be even more excited for next year.

This is my first race in 11 months.

This guy right here has been my savior. This guy has been phenomenal this Vuelta. I owe him my positioning and my luck. He's been awesome with me, staying with me, keeping me out of the wind.

I was on the left side and I stayed out of it. There were a lot of people who went down. It looked like everyone was going down.

I'm feeling good, ... We're riding as a team. We've had no problems at all.

I don't want to say too much. It will be my first Vuelta, ... I've worked really hard. I'm ready to do a good race.
