168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Christian Meier (Orica-GreenEdge) is set to take the lead in the unofficial ranking of days raced during the 2014 season when he rides the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Prudential RideLondon Classic on Sunday. The Canadian will have a total of 82 days of racing on Sunday, most of them at WorldTour events including th𒅌e recent Tour de France, which he rode after a last minute call-up.

Meier will lead this unofficial standings ahead of Perrig Quemeneur (Team Europcar) and Luca Paolini (Katusha), both who have raced for 81 days so far this season. Last year's record-man was Albert Timmer (Te﷽am Argos-Shimano), with 104 points. Meier wrapped up his season wit⭕h 89.

“I don't think I will be the leader at the end of the year”, Meier told Cyclingnews. “To ke✃ep it I must be a little bit over 100 days and I think I will be more around 95. But maybe I will ask the team to put me in five ex♎tra days. Why not ride the Tour of Beijing?

“The truth is, I go where the team asks me to go,” Meier said, explaining why he has raced a lot since the𝔉 Tour de San Luis in Argentina in January.

“We always try to set up a plan during the season but through ꦕthe year many things can change, depending on the riders getting sick or th🧸e little changes that the management wants to do.”

A sudden change to hi🦹s race programme gave Meier the opportunity to take part to his first Tour de France last month. He was called up while on vacation in Las Vegas, three days prior to the start in Leeds, replacing Michael Matthews after the Australian sprinter had crashed.

“The Tour de France was a great experience,” Meier recalled. “It w𝓀o🔥uld have been nice to really have prepared for it but at the end, I felt quite good the whole race and I did the job the team asked me to do, and so I supported Gerrans and Albasini.”

After the Tour of Poland comes more racing in Canada

After his three-week journey around France, Meier enjoyed two rest days but felt he had enough energy to start the Tour of 🐠Polan♑d just six days after finishing the Tour on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

“When I fi♛nished the Tour de France I didn't feel like if I was totally empty," he said. “Every Grand Tour I have done I have gone a little bit better and it's a little bit mental as well. After𓆉 the Tour I didn't think: 'Oh I should be tired now'. So I kept riding my bike...”

At the Tour of Poland Meier prꦅoved he'd recovered well by joining a seven-rider leading group on the queen stage Friday around Bukowina.

“The team wanted to have someone on the breakaway and I also wanted the 🥂KOM jersey but at the end it was not possible because the leader [Maciej Paterski of CCC Polsa🌟t Polkowice] was part of the group too,” he explained.

🌄Meier fi🌠nished 56th on stage six of the Tour of Poland and he didn't start the day after, for the final time trial i🌜n Krakow. Instead he traveled to London ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚfor the Prudential RideLondon Classic.

So far his 2014 race schedule has included WorldTour events such as the Volta a Catalunya, Vuelta al Pais Vasco, Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Tour de 🤪Romandie and the Critérium du Dauphiné. In addition to the Tour🍌 de France and the Tour of Poland, the Canadian cyclist has raced for 56 days in WorldTour events.

One of his moments of the year was the Ardennes Classics, where he supported 𒁏Simon Gerrans who won Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

“As I am a worker it's not as if I am going at my limit every da🐼y," Meier explained.

During my career I have always handled a big work load. I'm consistent with no re🌼al peak. I have periods where I feel quite good anyway and it helps me to take the opportunities likꦬe at the Bayern Rundfahrt (where he was King of Mountains) and the Nationals (where he finished third in the road race).

“I race because cycling is my passion and perhaps that helps me not to be tired🎐," Meier said.

The Canadian rider was supposed to ride the Vuelta a España but his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:intense racing programme and his late call-up for the Tour de France has earned him an easier end of season on home roads. He will race thဣe Tour of Alberta, the GP Québec and the GP Montréal, all on his home soil, and then perhaps the World Championships and Il Lombardia in Italy.

After that he and his wife Amber will enjoy a well-deserved vacation.
