VeloNews talks to Canadian rider Ryder Hesjedal about his form and hopes for his debut at the 2008 Tour de France.

Said Ryder: “It’s my first Tour, so day by day, and we’ll see how the condition comes. It’s all new to me. After having the Giro in my legs and with the preparation we did; the training best we could for a month without racing, and coming here with the best possible condition.”
