The winner of the latest edition of Paris-Nice, Luis Leon Sanchez was eighth in the prologue of the 68 th edition of the 'Race the Sun' which was played on Sunday around the town of Montfort-l'Amaury.
The rider from Murcia was a time of 11 minutes and nine seconds which put him 12 seconds of Dutchman Lars Boom, which scored the victory and the first yellow jersey of the French round.
"I'd like to repeat the victory in the prologue of the Tour of the Algarve two weeks ago," said Luis Leon after finishing the eight kilometer run.
"But today, there are some riders that made it a little better.
The course was very demanding and who knows more than we thought.
I have been fairly steady all the way but it is true that over the miles passed and I felt better, especially in the last two.
I have suffered a little cold in the initial part. "
"The most important is that the sensations are good and that will allow me to spend the next two or three stages with ease.
Besides the fact of not having to defend the jersey of input is not a bad thing.
By having a very strong team we have to assume our share of responsibility, but we will not be the only ones having to do it. "
"I feel very encouraged and we will wait for the mountain stages, with confidence," concluded Luis León.
