Roberto Heras Win Quotations

I wasn't looking for either the stage win or the lead, more to open up a time gap on the other favorites.

I would like to win a three-week race other than the Vuelta. The Tour is always in my mind but, I insist, that is up to my race director.

The Tour of Spain is the race which has given me the most, but that doesn't mean I don't want to win abroad as well,

I still feel good, it's true, but Menchov hasn't failed and it looks like he hasn't done anything. I still have morale and even though I wanted to cut the time differences, I came to the Vuelta to win and I will keep trying.

In a race of three weeks, the key is to be consistent. The regret today is that I couldn't win the stage. I started the sprint, but Mancebo came very strong from behind me. I saw him coming, but there was nothing I could do.
