Noya won the World Cup event in Tiszaujvaros, Hungary, on Sunday and said on Monday that he could not be traveling to Beijing in better shape.
"I have won all of the races that I have taken part in this year in the World Cup. I think that is the best way to go to the Games," said the Spaniard.
Before his win in Hungary, Noya had already won events in Mooloolaba, New Plymouth and Madrid and as such he has to be one of the favorites for gold in Beijing.
