Joaquim Rodriquez has said that everything is still possible as he took over the lead of the 70th Vuelta a España by taking two seconds off previous leader Fabio Aru on Stage sixteen.
Speaking to his team's website, Rodriquez, who had the red, green points and white combination jersey, said: "Everything is still possible in this Vuelta.
"My one-second margin does not excite me but in the end this Vuelta has already brought me more than I expected: a stage win and the red leader's jersey.
My final goal is to arrive at the overall podium in Madrid so why not on the highest step of the podium?
"It is in my hands but first we need to deal with the time trial in Burgos. I need to do a super chrono and I will give my maximum. That's why we are here.
"With Dumoulin at less than 2 minutes it will be hard, but not impossible. Dumoulin surprised me today. On the Cobertoria as well as on the last climb he was better than yesterday, really good. He can recover tomorrow and will be super motivated for the time trial. But we will fight too!"
