Astarloa: I Am Ready For a Big Win
Igor Astarloa has more or less returned to a top level team by rejoining Lampre-Fondital for 2006. He is anxious to get back to winning big races after being with the smaller Barloworld Team last year. The best way to get back into racing Igor feels is to get a big win right away, and he is pointing to the first Classic on the calendar, Milan-San Remo.
If I want to return to the top level, I will need to get an important win. I have been thinking of Milan-San Remo as a goal. Being with a top team such as Lampre with the guarantee of racing the big races, will help me achieve this goal better.
Another goal for the seaon is a Grand Tour, but Astarloa is not yet sure which one he will aim to race.
