Caisse D'Epargne's Spanish ace, Alejandro Valverde has said at a recent reception in his local area of Murcia that he'll arrive at the Tour de France ready to do well, and that the ProTour leader's jersey he currently holds will be "just one more motivation".
Valverde will return to competition at the Dauphiné Libéré (June 4-11) before taking a crack at the Spanish national championships. According to Valverde, "This will be very good for me and, in this way, I can do the Tour relaxed and thinking about doing the things that count," he said.
