00:00 The road has been a bit of a struggle between the Tour de France 2022 and the Tour de France 2023. You are here, you have gone through all the stages, how are you feeling?
00:13 Conquering, warrior, motivated, happy. I think there are a lot of feelings that are still involved today on this departure of the second Tour de France Femina.
00:28 You were warmly applauded by an audience that came in numbers, I imagine that it can be heart-warming.
00:32 It's always very special and it's true that we're not used to it. I always have a little bit of a tear in my eye when I hear my name, when I see people's smiles, when I see the flags in the Bretons. It's something.
00:46 We're going to talk a little bit about sport, with a difficult first stage, a race that may be the final selection today.
00:52 There are teams that came here without a sprinter, given the profile of the Tour. They will try everything to try to break the group in the final and then go and play the victory in small groups,
01:06 or even make a gap with some of the leaders who would be trapped at the beginning of this short but stiff, but also technical, race. Especially after, in Clermont.
01:19 I think it's a mix of general rankings and girls who want to sprint today and who want to pass.
01:26 What are your ambitions for you and the team today and more globally over the whole week?
01:30 The ambition would be to go and get a first-stage victory. It's clear that this is the goal. It's going to be hard, we're aware of that.
01:36 We have a strong team that knows how to seize opportunities, which last year proved it, was at the forefront every day.
01:45 We can start again, continue on this momentum and try to finish this time.
01:51 Personally, it's true that wearing a distinctive jersey for a stage would be great and go and get a first-stage victory.
