"It will not be a problem," said the 24-year-old, considered by many to be one of the fastest on the two-wheeled bike, on TV 2.
The Colombian won two stages of the Tour de France last summer before fleeing in the allotted time of the 12th stage. In late November, he surprised the world of cycling when it became clear that he had joined the UAE team,
although he has signed a contract with Quick-Step Floors for another season.
The one who was most surprised was his Norwegian teammate. Kristoff thought that this winter would be used to look for runners who could support him in the performance. Instead, they took a runner who would in many ways demolish
him as undisputed captain of the team in the spurs.
– We are a team. There is no competition inside the team, says Gaviria when we meet him at the Team Emirates training camp in the Spanish seaside resort of La Pineda.
Damping the tension
We offer him to conduct the interview in Spanish, but one of the stars of the future cyclists wants to practice in English. He sometimes has trouble finding the right words and sometimes has to turn to the press officer
translate the questions into Spanish.
But he clearly announces that he has a great respect for Kristoff – and leaves no doubt about the fact that he does not want to help increase the tension that reigns since the shock.
"Kristoff is a very, very strong runner, and he showed it when he won the Champs-Élysées, when you manage to maintain a speed as high as 500-700 meters. down, you're also a perfect artist.But then that's also so
I feel dead or I know I do not have the right to ask, so we can change the plan. Then I can do the work for him, "says Gaviria.
New era for Kristoff
Kristoff calls the Colombians a "cool guy" and says that they cooperate well. At the same time, the man from Stavanger is wonderfully liberating and never hides what he means.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he was measured in his enthusiasm for signing. He realizes that this will give him fewer opportunities to ask his questions in larger rides – which means that 2019 will be the beginning of a new one.
era of his career.
– I'm disappointed. I did not sign below to become an assistant, Kristoff told TV 2 on Tuesday.
He also revealed that he had asked the team to avoid participating in the Tour de France in the summer, as well as their own opportunities at the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta in Espana. But that says no to. They will keep quiet about their best
runners on the biggest stage of cycling.
