Bouncing back from injury

An interview with Victor Hugo Peña, September 17, 2005

Phonak's Colombian rider Victor Hugo Peña has had something of a tough season in 2005, suffering a bad accident this spring which left him with a broken bone in his back. However, despite a lack of competition, he has put in a solid ride in the Vuelta. With two day's left in this Tour of Spain he is lying in 24th place overall, has been active in several good breakways and a good seventh place in the stage 9 time trial to his credit. He is now looking to end things well with a strong ride in today's race against the clock which, if achieved, will boost his morale before the world time trial championship next week. Cyclingnews' Shane Stokes spoke with Victor Hugo on the eve of the time trial.
