Qu'allait bien pouvoir annoncer Tadej Pogacar ce vendredi après-midi ? Tous les observateurs du cyclisme se posaient légitimement cette question depuis la programmation soudaine et rapide d'une conférence de presse par son équipe UAE Team Emirates. Mais que les fans du Slovène se rassurent : celui-ci n'a pas annoncé son forfait pour le prochain Tour de France, ce qui, soyons honnête, aurait été surprenant alors que le Grand Départ du Pays basque est dans un mois et que le double vainqueur de la Grande Boucle (2020 et 2021) a enfin pu reprendre l'entraînement sur la route depuis quelques jours. Tadej Pogacar, lors de ce point presse, en a profité pour adresser un message à Remco Evenepoel qui a dû quitter le Giro à cause du Covid : "Si j’étais Remco Evenepoel, je ferais le tour de France aussi, mais tout le monde est différent et en plus il a eu le covid, mais j’adorerais le voir sur le Tour." On attend la réponse de Remco Evenepoel... et si cela pouvait le faire changer d'avis mais voilà Remco a annoncé vendredi son nouveau programme de courses... et le Tour de France 2023 n'y figure pas !

00:00 29 days till the start of the Tour de France. I assume you're still doing the Tour de France,
00:06 or you still want to. Tell me how those... I mean, the last week you're not going to
00:11 do a whole lot, so you've got three weeks, I guess, of intense training. What needs to
00:17 happen in those three weeks? Break them down for me, those three weeks. What are you going
00:21 to... what do you need to do?
00:24 Well, yeah, I mean, I've been training quite good until now. Home trainer, running, and
00:34 start now this week on the road. So, yeah, the shape is not so bad as I thought it's
00:40 going to be after the rollers. Also, the wrist is getting better every day. And yeah, now
00:48 this week I'm in Sierra Nevada for altitude camp. I try to get as much as possible out
00:56 of this camp. Here I have great support from the team, and yeah, we can do big hours on
01:04 the bike and having a massage and physiotherapy here. So, yeah, it's a lot of work. But yeah,
01:14 then in 11 June, I go off Sierra Nevada to do recon, a few stages for the tour, and then
01:25 back on Sestriere training camp. And then, yeah, hopefully I will do national championships,
01:35 TT and world race.
01:37 And no Tour of Slovenia?
01:41 No, I don't think so. I think it's, yeah, unfortunately, yeah, I lost some training.
01:50 I mean, lost some training. I couldn't do much on the road in the last four weeks. So,
02:00 yeah, I need to focus a little bit more on the intervals and long trainings outside.
02:07 I'm just curious with the injury in the wrist, have you been feeling that at all when you're
02:12 back on the road bike now, when you're braking or steering or descending? Is that going to
02:16 be a factor, do you think, during the tour?
02:18 Well, now, yeah, the first couple of days when I try to go on the road, I mean, first
02:26 of all, I shouldn't go on the road until six weeks. So, yeah, I'm a bit stupid and disobey
02:34 doctor's orders, but I push the team, I push everybody and try to go on the bike. But,
02:40 yeah, I know, I knew that I cannot put too much pressure on the scapula, on the hand.
02:49 And, yeah, I was really careful the first few days. Just, yeah, I did rollers, go out
02:54 on the road just to two, three hours. Obviously, I'm riding with a cast, a plastic cast.
03:03 That I can take off and on. And now I have a few different casts, one for normal life,
03:13 one for bike. And then when I'm already almost at the end, just a little bit more support
03:20 around the wrist. But, yeah, I'm taking care every day with my, yeah, my right arm is getting
03:31 more strong because it takes more balance on the right hand. But, yeah, luckily, because we have
03:40 osteopath here, physio, I get every day better without any pain and in my body and the wrist
03:51 is getting every day better. I have more and more mobility. And I think that, yeah, after
03:59 next week when we see the scan, if I didn't damage the bone again, but I don't think I did
04:05 because I have no pain, we will see if we can, yeah, start to putting more pressure on the hand.
04:15 And, yeah, I think for the tour, maybe I will still need some soft brace around the wrist
04:23 just for a bit of support. And, yeah, I hope that I get more or less mobility to go out of
04:33 the saddle and sprinting until the, before the tour. - And Liege, this is really kind of like
04:41 your first setback in your career, which is kind of crazy to think about. How are you handling
04:48 the downtime and recovery and how are the emotions, how is your mental health,
04:54 how do you feel going forward? - Yeah, I feel really good. I mean, the first week
05:02 after Liege, I had off anyway. So, yeah, basically I was just relaxing, try to relax at home.
05:16 And then, yeah, second week I already started some home trainer and, yeah, motivation was really
05:23 high since the beginning. And I did really a lot of physiotherapy the last five weeks. And,
05:36 yeah, I think, yeah, we will see how the CT scan shows on next Monday if it's healed properly
05:48 and the bone. But, yeah, otherwise I'm really looking forward for the next week of training
05:56 and to go to the tour. - Just a quick question. You are always a guy who's having fun in racing.
06:05 But how much fun could a Tour de France be if you're perhaps not 100% in top condition?
06:14 - Yeah, if you're not 100% at the Tour, if you go like me to go in Tour for the win, I don't think
06:26 you can enjoy. But I think, yeah, hopefully I will be 100%. Maybe the wrist will not be at 100%,
06:38 but I think the legs can be because, yeah, you don't need wrist to train the legs. So,
06:48 yeah, I think, yeah, we will see that when the Tour goes. But I think I will enjoy it in any case.
06:58 - So my question is, are you concerned going to the Tour without races? Or can you say that
07:05 maybe you have a setback? It's blessing in disguise because we saw that Yermo Bismarck
07:12 at the Giro, they had so many problems in the team and then Primoz won the race. So that's my question.
07:20 - Yeah, sometimes setbacks can be even good, especially in our big seasons.
07:30 And, yeah, at least you take some time off, rest the body and the mind. So,
07:40 yeah, sometimes it can be good. And luckily, it's not a huge setback. It's just the hand.
07:46 It's nothing with the legs or head or something like this. So I could train almost not normally,
07:55 but I could do some great hours. So, yeah, I think I would not call it a real setback, but
08:06 just an unlucky situation. But I think I can pull out of this a lot.
08:14 - But are you concerned going to the Tour without races? Because I think normally you start the
08:22 season even without races, you're normally on a very good level.
08:27 - Yeah, normally I really like to have a race before an important race.
08:36 But, okay, the Grand Tour is 21 stages and sometimes it's good to be a little bit more fresh.
08:43 And, yeah, I will do national championships, so two days of racing. And, yeah, you can always
08:52 do some good trainings behind moto and stuff like this to simulate as it's a race.
09:03 And I think, yeah, you can adapt trainings that is similar to races. So, yeah, I'm not so worried
09:14 this year. - How hard are these first two stages of the Tour de France? Have you had a peek at
09:20 those? I mean, because this is going to start off very aggressive into Bilbao and then, of course,
09:25 into San Sebastian. - Yeah, the first two stages are really, really beautiful ones. Super hard.
09:33 And, yeah, I think it's good. I think I prefer it like this than having flight stages the first
09:40 week because you already see who is there and who is what, who got the jersey. And
09:52 it's not so stressful the next days. So, yeah, it's going to be tough to come there fresh and
10:01 immediately going full gas the first two days. But, yeah, two years ago was more or less similar.
10:10 The first two stages were super hard finish. So, and, yeah, I felt good back then. So,
10:17 I think this type of the Tour I really like. - And what's your, you know, a lot of us would
10:24 love to see Remco, Rolic at the Tour de France as well. The fans would love to see that.
10:30 What's your take on those guys, you know, not racing the Tour and how much would you like or
10:37 wouldn't like to see those guys at the Tour? And also, what do you have to say about Primoz
10:43 winning the Giro d'Italia? Were you watching that? - Yeah, I think first, yeah, Remco,
10:51 he abandoned Giro, which he could go battle for the win. And he's the world champion. So,
10:59 if I'm him, I would do the Tour de France as well. But, yeah, everybody is different and
11:05 everybody feels different on the bike after such a hard racing. Also, he had COVID. So,
11:13 I don't know. I would love to see him at the Tour. It would be even bigger competition. And
11:21 same goes for Roglic. But I think, yeah, Jumbo have a clear leader with Jonas now for the Tour
11:29 and Roglic won Giro. So, for them, it's a perfect situation, I would say. And maybe, yeah, they
11:39 don't want to push Primoz too hard and save him for Vuelta or I don't know. - Yeah, it's better
11:47 for you. Last year, they ganged up on you there on that stage 11. - Yeah, exactly.
