00:00I've been my whole life, like, I start getting emotional if I talk too much about it, it's
00:20given me the most incredible career, the most incredible life, the most incredible memories.
00:29One stage makes a rider, not just a year, but makes a rider's whole career, it's the
00:32stage of the Tour.
00:34It's what kids dream of, they keep dreaming of riding it, and the amount of riders that
00:39have ridden the Tour, compared to the amount that have worn one stage, is pretty significant,
00:44and that's why you can never take one for granted.
00:46Yeah, look, it's not a secret, we're chasing one more stage win, Cavs will say two and
01:02three and four, but if we can get one more and take outright the record, it would be
01:07amazing, it would be a legacy that Mark wants to leave.
01:16I just try and win what I can at the Tour de France, 34 times I've been able to understand
01:21how hard it is to win a stage at the Tour de France, so I know that you can only try,
01:27and we'll keep trying with everything we've got and see what happens, but not just today's
01:32stage but every sprint opportunity we get.
01:36I maybe would not say he's stronger, but I think he's as strong as he always has been,
01:41he's very, of course very motivated, everybody here in the Tour de France is very motivated,
01:47but he's very eager.
01:56He called me the day that he crashed last year in the Tour de France, I was also in
02:01the Tour de France riding for Quick-Step, and when I saw his name on my phone I was
02:06pretty sure what he wanted to ask me about, so when I picked up the phone I was pretty
02:12much ready to join him and chase this special victory.
02:20Even if we haven't had a couple of hard days, it normally takes me a couple of sprints to
02:23get into it, but we go all in for it and see what happens.
02:37Stage 35 in the Tour de France!
02:40We did it!
02:54Well, only a little bit of disbelief, and yeah, we've done it!
03:07Thank you!
03:10You see what it means, it doesn't mean we're going to be topping the UCI rankings or anything,
03:18but the Tour de France is bigger than cycling, isn't it?
03:30Yeah, I've got a family, I've got a beautiful family now, and that's actually the most important
03:35of those days, my cycling was the most important thing, and being successful was the most important
03:41thing, as you get older, as you have kids, you realise really what's important to inspire
03:46them, to teach them well, to bring them up well, and yeah, at the end of the day this
03:54is just a bike race, okay, it's the biggest bike race in the world, it's the most beautiful
03:59sporting event in the world, but it's still just a bike race, and my family have flown
04:02over here at the start today, and that kind of puts into perspective what I'm doing really.
