Tom Danielson interview part II: Targeting big performances in Langkawi and beyond
Velonation, Shane Stokes, 22 February 2012

As detailed in part I of this interview, Tom Danielson heads into the 2012 season with greater focus and confidence than in the past. Taking eighth in last year’s Tour de France was a major moment for him and, as he explained then, has affected his mentality in a number of ways, not least his motivation.

Over the course of a ten to fifteen year pro career, riders can develop in different directions to how they were as young professionals. Some such as Sean Kelly and Laurent Jalabert metamorphose from sprinters into strong all-rounders, with both of those riders winning the Vuelta a Espana during their careers.
