Miguel Ángel López: "My third place makes the whole team happy"

I’m very happy with the team work that enabled me to finish on the podium of La Vuelta. My team-mates have always ridden flat out for me.

We wanted it badly for celebrating the birthday of Alexandr Vinokourov, our manager at Astana....

My natural habitat is on the bike… I enjoyed the moment. It was a very special one. We’ll see what my future is like. I’ll keep trying very hard to win races like La...
