- Even during last Giro d’Italia, that has been really difficult for us for many different reasons, Luis Leon demonstrated to be generous and trustable as one of the best in the peloton: he really deserved a good renewal with the Astana Proteam! – concluded Alexandr Vinokurov, the 2012 Olympic Champion.

Recently he took part at the Critérium du Dauphinè where he helped the Team to win with Jakob Fuglsang (even if he was obliged to give up after the sixth stage because of a toothache).

After a period of rest, he should return to race on the Tour of Poland, looking at the Vuelta a España that will be his main goal for the second half of the season.
