The newspaper the voice of Galicia has interviewed the 5 times World Champion Javier Gómez Noya where he commented on his idea to focus on long distance in 2018. “-The idea is to prioritize long distance, although it does other races. And then we'll see if I like it. Now I can do whatever I want. Many people want to make a long distance, others to go to the Games ... You can not please everyone. "Commented in the interview.
Javier Gómez Noya will participate in the next 9 of September in the Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Chattanooga where he will seek his second World Cup, discarding his participation in the penultimate appointment of the World Series in Stockholm to fight for his sixth World Cup in the Rotterdam Grand Final , where it will depend on the result of Mario Mola.
These are some of the interview questions.
-Now his biggest rival is Mola, but they keep friendship.
-In Montreal we went out together to train before the race and we talked about training together at the end of the season or going on a trip at the end of the season. With Mario, I do not only have a relationship as a selection partner, but friendship.
-You need to ride it by bike in the Rotterdam final to be able to leave it several places behind and be world champion.
-If he plays his cards well, it is very difficult. I may have to win in the final and he may not be even sixth. If he is on a bike he saves himself to run, he ends up hunting many and he is worth to be fourth or third. We will have to try to tighten what we can and see how he responds.
- No man won for now the Triple Crown.
-It is an appetizing prize with high-level middle distance races. But I'm not even halfway there. I won the first one, but I know that the most difficult one is the World Cup.
After winning in Montreal, it cost more to give up Stockholm?
-Yes, but I have little to gain there. I will go to the final to try to win and get the tenth World podium of my career and, if Mario fails, take the opportunity too. I decided to focus on the 70.3 World Championship, which interests me and makes me excited.
-Ahead two very different tests in six days.
- Yes, I've done it backwards once, and I found myself well, but you never know how the body will respond. It is not the ideal preparation for the Rotterdam final. But I give priority to 70.3, and then let's see what comes up.
