“I like mountain stages. It is in these kind of stages that I can perform well in. I will continue to focus on it.”

Jose is a very talented climber and has also proven himself to be one of the most important domestiques in the team during the Vuelta a España 2013. He helped Leopold König retain his ninth place overall and did not disappoint as a reliable support for the whole team. He showed his climbing skills at the queen stage of the Vuelta on the ascent to the Angliru, where he finished seventh. Jose is a great allrounder who can deliver good results when he rides on his own account, but can also support the team very well.
