00:00Tim Thorne-Tutenberg's little trick, working on the front, trying to lead this one out
00:06as Soudal Quick-Step look round to see where the red jersey of Paul Magnier is.
00:10He's tucked in a little bit further back, but it's Tim Thorne-Tutenberg who's infiltrated
00:14the Soudal Quick-Step train, just waiting patiently.
00:17And on his wheel, Stefan de Schuttenier of Lotto Destiny.
00:21It's the Schuttenier now on the wheel of Tutenberg.
00:23Tutenberg opens up his sprint.
00:25It's Tutenberg alongside Stefan de Schuttenier and the man from Lotto Destiny, pushing him
00:29hard all the way.
00:30Close on the line, Stefan de Schuttenier puts his arms in the air and just, just getting
00:35to the line of stage five ahead of Tim Thorne-Tutenberg, Conforti also in the mix.
00:41Stefan, that was the plan, lead out man yesterday, sprinter today.
00:45How do you feel?
00:46I'm very happy.
00:48In the beginning of the week, I was not so good.
00:50I was a bit sick, but today, every, it's so nice.
00:59The team helped me today really well in the, in the end also, it was very crazy.
01:05Josh and Matisse did the good work to lead me out and in the end, I'm the winner.
01:11In the sprint, did you realize that Paul Meunier was not exactly next to you?
01:16I didn't see him in the end, but you don't, you don't need to be scared in the, in the
01:24sprint.
01:25It's everyone to each other and it's nice.
01:30You were used to win in Belgium or Netherlands.
01:34What's the feeling of winning at the Giro Next Gen in Italy?
01:37Yeah, it's very special.
01:38It's my first Giro Next Gen and it's very nice.
01:43I enjoy it here.
01:46You come from Gramont, Geraardsbergen, the heart of Flanders.
01:49Are you a typical rider for the classics or typical sprinter?
01:53I think both.
01:56How do you see your future?
01:58Hopefully in the classics and maybe some sprints, we will see what the future will bring.
02:04And in the next few days, how much work do you have to do for Yarno Widar to win the
02:08whole thing?
02:09Yeah, now I'm going to work for Widar, for Yarno, really hard every day to keep the jersey.
02:17Proficiat.
02:18Thank you.
02:19Yarno, with 50, 60 kilometers to go, it looked on TV like you were having fun.
02:25Were you having fun, really?
02:26Oh, yeah.
02:27It was a little bit boring in the day because it's just one pace, flat, there's nothing
02:33going to happen.
02:36It's just between my teammates, a little bit of fun.
02:40It was boring because it was not difficult to defend the jersey.
02:43But when did you have in mind to go for the sprint win today?
02:48Oh, already this morning, I said Stéphane would go for the sprint.
02:52We were really confident that Stéphane could make it in the sprint.
02:57Were you confident?
02:58Do you know him very well?
03:00Did you know he could beat Paul Magnier?
03:03Oh, yeah, of course I know Stéphane really well because I raced with him for five years,
03:13so I know he's fast and I knew he could beat Magnier.
03:19Tomorrow, back to your terrain, mountain stage.
03:23Are you looking forward to it?
03:24What do you expect?
03:25I'm looking forward, of course, but it will be very hard to defend it, but I will try
03:31everything that I can and we will see what the result is.
03:36Have you learned how to open the bottle of Prosecco?
03:42No, not perfectly, but I can.
03:46It's coming.
03:47Thank you.
03:48Paul, all the top sprinters say you can't always win.
03:53Why couldn't you win today?
03:56We did everything for the victory today.
03:59We controlled the whole day.
04:00It was, again, a fast day, but at the end, I didn't really arrive to follow my leadout man.
04:10It was very, very nervous and I had to take a lot of wind in the last kilometers, but
04:16it's my fault.
04:17The team did everything well.
04:19A bit disappointed, but that's the game and I will try to again win a stage in the last two days.
04:28Do you like those straight, flat finishes as much as the uphill finishes?
04:34Uphill finishes make the sprint a bit more with the legs and a bit less positioning.
04:40For sure, I prefer a bit when it's a bit uphill, but I also really like when it's flat also
04:45and straight, but today it didn't work, so merci.
