00:00I'm taking Mathieu, I'm taking Mathieu.

00:21Mathieu, how would you describe the sprint?

00:23It's a nice victory for you, for the team, for Jasper.

00:26How could you describe the climb and the sprint?

00:30I think we did a really good job with the team, with the turns.

00:34It was quite tricky, we knew we had to be in front there.

00:38I think we did a really good team performance today and Jasper finished it off.

00:43It's a nice success because you had problems with the training organisation the first week.

00:47Now it's working great.

00:49Yeah, of course.

00:51The first week is always super difficult.

00:56Now, I wouldn't say it's getting easier, but for sure,

01:00the bunch gets a bit more tired, so you can really make a difference now.

01:05I think today we were all really motivated.

01:07We know we don't have many chances left this tour,

01:10so we really wanted to go for it today.

01:13What did you change from the organisation, Mathieu?

01:15What did you change, what did you talk about with Jasper?

01:18Not too much actually, just that he did not have to doubt himself

01:23and start his sprint at the right moment.

01:25I think when he was disqualified against Grunewegen,

01:28it was actually also a perfect lead-out, but then he doubted a bit too much.

01:33We said to him to not doubt and just launch his sprint.

01:37If he didn't get beaten, it's a bit more easy to digest,

01:42but I think he did a really nice sprint today.
