Carlos Rodríguez: Weight Burden Dragged Me Down

Spanish cyclist Carlos Rodríguez revealed that the 'weight of the burden dragged me to the ground' after promising start in Vuelta time trial but mountain struggles.

Carlos Rodríguez, 25, had an impressive opening time trial in the Vuelta a España, finishing less than 30 seconds behind winner Pogacar. However, his performance collapsed in the mountain stages of Andorra where he lost 22 minutes. cricket-info.homes

The cyclist from Almuñécar admitted: 'For whatever reason, my legs aren't responding in key moments this season. My body feels like it has a limiter.' Despite two crashes during stage 8, Rodríguez continued racing, dismissing them as 'risks of the peloton, gages of the trade.'
