La Paris-Niza afronta hoy su segunda etapa, y el aleman Maximilian Schachmann (Bora) espera verdediger el titulo que logró el año pasade, aunque sabe que no será facque al frente tiene rivales muy fuertes.
For 27 years, Schachmann has been a busy corridor who has been looking for jobs in a day and a week. and is the key to the philosophy of his team’s couch, as he looked for the private triumphs with Peter Sagan. It’s a ground corridor.

Schachmann has 11 triumphs in his professional career. Además del titulo en Paris-Niza del 2020, se impuso en el GP de Premio Industria & Artigianato and had stages in the Giro de Italia, the País Vasco, the Vuelta a Cataluña.
The TIEMPO worked with it, and the corrector took into account the expectations it had in 2021, which were Nairo Quintana’s and had Egan Bernal’s options.
Pierde protagonism Nairo Quintana to be in a second category team?
Geen creo que haya perdido protagonismo nie. The Arkea is a good team, with an ambitious project. In addition, we live in Nairo and there is a corridor that is not open, one of the large escalators and in the mountain was demolished. It is the recognition of its qualities. It’s a cyclist who’s detached.
Nairo Quintana, Colombian cyclist.
Is there a cyclist who can get a great triumph at a great time?
Creo que sí puede conseguirlo. It’s a big corridor. It has its conditions and experience.
¿Deben de estar tranquilos los Colombienos con Egan Bernal, tras lo que le sucedió en el 2020, o es paro preocuparse?
Sincerely, although he has been dealing with Egan, there is not much he can do to help him recover from the cycle he needs. It’s a very good corridor, strong. He saw his sus actuaciones y lo ha hecho muy bien. There will be peleando the big squares. It has a large sonrisa (risas). It’s a leader and has a lot of strength.
How to get to Paris-Nice with the goal of defending the title?
It’s a good question (risas). Nee hy corrido ni competido en este año. Although he has been training much to reach an ideal level of competence. I have prepared much in the way of Spain’s characteristics. Creo que voy a estar en un buen nivel, pero hasta not being competent, en donde se ven otro typ de situaciones, no sabré well comy voy a estar. If he has trained me very hard.
This year has more rivals than in 2020, like Primoz Roglic …
Really haoi corredores muy fuertes. Usted lo ha dicho, está Primoz. If I find it much more difficult, I have no doubts. I believe we will have a career with a very strong rhythm and with demolition steps. There are specialists in one-week careers, as there will be a very, very, very complicated Paris-Niza.
For the record and rivals, will it be more difficult to defend the condition of the champion?
As a result, it will be very difficult to pass the year, even if it is difficult. Have you revised my career route well, the steps in which we can be strong; también, mirar en los que nos pueden atacar e ir step by step. I believe that the mountain will be definite.
Last year, a lot was scored when Nairo Quintana scored in the last stage
What do you have to worry about?
The past year, much has been achieved since Nairo Quintana reached his peak in the last stage, and now there are two types of corridors that are very strong, such as Roglic or Tao Hart. Not with what team wins the Ineos, quiz Richie Porte. There will be a big square to see.
How was his health, after the accident on the Giro Lombardia, when he was hit by a car that was hit?
My siento muy bien. I do not have any more dollars or other losses during my recovery. My body behaved well. He had a lot of luck, because he had a very strong shot, but we were fine.
What do you want to know about these hechos?
Creo that his career situations and también are playing with certainty. If he adopts medidas to have more security in the mountains, but the accidents are suicidal and he is the master of them. It’s a job of all, but it’s sure.
Did the Bora change the philosophy of playing the triumphs in the classics and in the squares of one or three weeks?
I believe we have changed our way of correcting and taking care of our careers. Now we have other goals and we are better as a team. It is cycling and we are evolving. For example, now we have opportunities to do well in the mountain, and the team is here. Hemos cambiado, es cierto.
Paris-Niza 2020 Podium: Tiesj Benoot, second; Maximilian Schachmann, champion; Sergio Higuita, third.
And what is the point?
We will triumph over large fields and general classifications. Quizá este año sea un poco dificile, pero en el futuro vamos a seguir peleando. Personally, I can say that our objectives in the camps are clear and I want to play against the big rivals.
Y en ese orden, ¿cuál es su meta de acuerdo con la filosofía del Bora?
I do not like to talk much about future goals, as I like to talk about the present. First start being positive with my physical condition and be sincere with my abilities. Our taste buds are located in the plains of Milan-San Remo, a very beautiful and very strong square, for the Bora series important to win a monument.
Do you know the tracks of the Giro, Tour and Vuelta, what is the point of gustaría?
Todavía has not decided what we will do, between the Tour and the Vuelta. It’s clear that the Giro we are not going to. We will see how we feel about these jobs with our work plan. By now, nee lo sabemos.
What did the Colombian cyclist want to do at the Bora?
I like to have different, because its very good, with many qualities, but I did not want to say a number. I hope I have no difficulty with it, that is.
