< ><b><FONT color=#000066>ravel的小小感受(上)</FONT></b></P>< >Tour runner-up(电信以这个为骄傲啊!<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em02.gif\">) Andreas Klöden has committed to the T-Mobile Team for another two seasons(太棒了!再多签两年吧!). t-mobile-team.com asked the 29 year old German champion about his reasons for staying put, and his goals for the coming season. </P>< >t-mobile-team.com: Andreas, on Monday evening you signed a two-year contract extension with the T-Mobile Team. Are you happy, that whatever uncertainty about your sporting future has now been resolved? (肯定很happy了,这个还用问?<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em02.gif\">)</P>< >Andreas Klöden: Yeah, I am happy that we could come to an agreement and that a line has now been drawn under all the speculation about my future. I have spent the last few weeks thinking about this very carefully. </P>< >What were the critical factors in your decision to stay with T-Mobile? (这个问题问在点子上了。<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em06.gif\">)</P>< >Klöden: I know where I stand with the team. I have always enjoyed riding for T-Mobile and I have always felt good in the team environment. My close relationship with Jan Ullrich(close relationship with Jan Ullrich,ULLE真是和每个人关系都好好喔!不过Zabel、Vino和队友的关系也是好的没话说,T-Mobile的队中关系……嗬嗬嗬!<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em03.gif\">)was also an important factor in making my mind up to continue racing in the magenta colours. (其实我觉得在某个车队取得好成绩就不大会愿意离开,也许正是这个原因ULLE才回来的,Klödi的留下应该也有这种因素,不过他没说)</P>< >Last Friday T-Mobile announced that Oscar Sevilla would ride for the team next season. What do you expect from the team next season? </P>< >Klöden: I am optimistic that next year T-Mobile will be up there again, mixing it with the best and challenging for race wins. If all our top riders come through the winter in good shape and injury-free then we will be ready to win things. We want to give Lance Armstrong a few things to worry about at the 2005 Tour de France. (good shape and injury-free 的确是很重要的,在此祈祷T-Mobile的各位骑手在环法开始时一定要in good shape and injury-free,尤其是最强的几位<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/default/topicface/face6.gif\">) </P>< >What are your personal goals for the coming season? </P>< >Klöden: I want to follow up on my form and my performances from this year. My main priority for next year will be the Tour de France. I want to be in top form for what is the biggest race in the cycling calendar, and then to ride for the strongest rider in the team. My personal placing at the Tour is of course also hugely important. (Tour de France,有目标,不错!明年初官网上Klöden的Sports preferences就会多一个major tour了吧!<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em05.gif\">)</P><P>This season is over for you. What are your plans for the coming weeks? </P><P>Klöden: In the next couple of days I am doing some commentary work on the Vuelta for the Eurosport TV station(我好想听!<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em05.gif\"><img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em05.gif\"><img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em05.gif\">), after that I have a few engagements to fulfill for our sponsor T-Mobile. My mother turns 60 in October and that is as good a reason as any to go back home for a while, something that I don\'t often get a chance to do. I have been invited to the wedding of fellow cyclist and friend Uwe Peschel, then on October 11th I head to Thailand for three weeks of well-deserved holiday. </P><P>And when do you start your preparations for the coming season? </P><P>Klöden: I return from Thailand on November 1st. I will start back to full training four weeks later. Now it is time for a break and some holiday. (呵呵,好像期待假期已经很久了,迫不及待了啊!连采访都不理睬了<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em07.gif\">)</P><P>
Talented (很高的评价啊<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em05.gif\">)young(有前途的另一种说法<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em07.gif\">)Spaniard Oscar Sevilla will ride for the T-Mobile Team in the coming season. In an interview with t-mobile-team.com the climbing specialist explains the reasons behind the move, his goals for next season and his desire to put the pressure on Lance Armstrong at the Tour. </P><P>Q: You are leaving Phonak, a team on a an upward curve. Is there a particular reason for this move? (其实就算有我们的Oscar也不会说的)</P><P>Oscar Sevilla: No, far from it. I have enjoyed my time at Phonak, I have been very well looked after there and they have allowed me to further develop as a rider. I am still riding for Phonak, and as well as wishing them success in the future(不要,那是T-Mobile的<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em05.gif\">), I want to win something for the team in the remaining stages of the Vuelta. But rider transfers are part and parcel of cycling nowadays and I am going to an ambitious team that starts every race with the intention of winning it. (渴望胜利的Oscar!!!<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em05.gif\">)</P><P>Q: After a lean two-year period for you that has been marked by injuries, do you think that you have now used up all your bad luck? (可能不是低谷Oscar也不会来T-Mobile)</P><P>Oscar Sevilla: Yes, after a bad patch last year and my fall at the World Championships, I am now riding well again. I have been showing my good form at this year\'s Vuelta. So I am optimistic about the future. (有信心,我喜欢!看来以后环西有希望了Klodi)</P><P>Q: T-Mobile is a very powerful team, which attaches huge importance to the Tour. Can the Sevilla-Ullrich axis put an end to Armstrongs stranglehold on the event? (Sevilla-Ullrich axis!很高的评价啊!连我家Vino都没排上。)</P><P>Oscar Sevilla: I hope so. Ullrich is one of the best cyclists around. With my help and the help of Vinokourov, we have a team that is capable of challenging Armstrongs dominance. (又是Armstrong!不过还好Oscar没忘了Vino)</P><P>Q: Will a German team be able to bring out the best in Oscar Sevilla? </P><P>Oscar Sevilla: Yes, without a doubt. I am twenty-seven years old and I am extremely motivated to achieve something special with T-Mobile. (其实我觉得西班牙人和一支德国车队的组合还是满难说的)</P><P>Q: What about learning German, how will you cope with that? </P><P>Oscar Sevilla: With difficulty, I think that it is a very complicated language, but with practice and help from everybody I hope that we will be able to understand each other perfectly. (不要紧,ULLE的英语不错,Oscar在那个美国人的熏陶下英语也应该不错吧<img src=\"http://www.gerfans.cn/bbs/Skins/Default/emot/em07.gif\">)
Q: Your goal for this new phase in your career? </P><P>Oscar Sevilla: My goal is to help the team, through my hard work and sacrifice, so that next season we will be well equipped to win as many races as possible. </P> |
