168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Trek Factory Racing team manager Luca Guercilena says that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andy Schleck will not target the general classification at the upcoming 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France, but w🦩ill focus on winning stages - provided he earns a place on the team during the Tour de Suisꦜse.

Speaking to Velochrono, Guercilena said he had been expecting the 2010 Tour champion’s form to pick up during his home tour in Luxembourg at the start of this month. However, Schleck finished almo🔯st 15 minutes down on winner Matti Breschel in 50th place overall, suggesting his long-awaited return to the top rank of Tour contenders is not imminent.

"At the moment, he doesn’t have enough form to do a Grand Tour," said Guercilena. "This isn’t the situation we were hoping for at the start of the season but we have to deal with it. He still has the Tour ♍of Switzerland where he can show he is competitive. That’s a real test."

Going into the third stage in Switzerland’s national tour, Schleck was lying in 44th place, 55 seconds down on race leader Tony Martin. His biggest tests with a view to gaining selection for Trek’s Tour team 𒐪will come during the race’s final weekend. Saturday brings a summit finish at Verbier, where Schleck was the only rider to finish within a minute of Alberto Contador when the Tour de France finished there in 2009. Sunday offers another summit finale at Saas-Fee.

"If Andy d🎀oes a good Tour of Switzerland and comes to the Tour de France, it will be more with the aim of targeting stages than contending for the overall," said Guercilena🐲. "Guys like Froome and Contador are a long way ahead of him."

Schleck ended last year’s Tour in 20th place, but he and his team wer♛e expecting a big step up this season, especially as elder brother Fränk is now racing alongside him again. However, although he started the season in good physical shape – "he was in better condition than the year before," said Trek's director Alain Gallopin – his results have been poor. He didn’t finish Amstel Gold or the Ardennes Classics and that 50th place in Luxembourg was his best stage ra🥀ce result of the year.
