Hi! My name is André Cardoso. I'm a cyclist who currently riders for the spanish Pro Continental team Caja Rural. After 5 years riding in my home country, Portugal, I signed with Caja Rural, with the goal to get detected by a ever bigger team. My biggest dream is to ride a Grand Tour and this year I have chance to do it. In this blog I will talk about my preparation for the Vuelta. Need reserve posts to post the team and my calendar.

Sincerely,
André Cardoso

Good luck with Caja Rural and Cardoso! I like very much this team for two reasons... it's a basque based team and it has an uruguayan in their squad, Fabricio Ferrari. |

You race schedule is looking very interesting. With a good preparation you should be able to finish top20 in especially when others are more exhausted having 60+ race days before the start. |
