After suffering an injury setback in 2014, Joe Dombrowski got back on track last year as he builds on his potential as a future Grand Tour contender. The former Baby Giro winner claimed his first professional general classification victory at the Tour of Utah and rode his first Grand Tour at the Vuelta a España.
Now in his second year with the Cannondale team and his fourth as a professional, Dombrowski is gearing up for the Giro d'Italia. Cyclingnews sat down with the 24-year-old American in Tenerife as he comes to the end of an altitude training camp.
Cyclingnews: How has the training camp been for you?

Joe Dombrowski: This is my first time here. The riding is great, but it's a little bit limited in that this hotel is the only thing up here, so you either go left or right. The start of the ride is always the same but I'm here for 16 days, and I think for that amount of time it's good. Much longer than that, I think you would get a bit antsy and want to do something else. Sometimes on a rest day, the guys go out to the coast. On my last rest day, I didn't go all the way to the coast, but I went to Orotava and had a look around.
CN: How do you feel coming towards the end of your time in Tenerife?
JD: I'm here until Tuesday, and then I'm back home in Nice for less than a week, and then I do Romandie, and then I'm back to Nice for two days or something, and then I'm off to the Giro. It has been good. For me, it has been doing a lot of volume, and I had a bit of weight to lose so it was about staying on the regime diet wise. Everything has gone pretty well so far.
