00:00Congratulations Primoz, welcome here to the press conference, so we're going to start
00:17the press conference, questions in English, we'll translate everything at the end, in
00:21the end, we start from here, I think Jersey again, what does it mean? I'm happy, definitely,
00:38I mean, how to say it, you don't really plan it, I mean you are dreaming about it to have
00:44it, or to fight for it, to have it in Rome, so, yeah, just happy with today's result and
00:53obviously, yes, with the jersey.
00:57Pre-stage, what did you expect your, like, the gap to be, to be the different to your
01:02rivals, because those gaps are quite big in the end.
01:07Nothing really, I thought, like, I mean, I don't lose too much from the start of it, you
01:13know, and obviously, it's not really the time trial that I would, yeah, wish for it, or,
01:20you know, to suit me the best, so, at the end, I have to do what it is there, so, I mean,
01:26I was just, just happy and I really enjoyed it, I mean, especially, I mean, riding was
01:32quite hard, but the result is nice, no?
01:36Ciro?
01:37Hey Primoz, congrats, on the bike, did you have the 64 for the time trial?
01:4368.
01:4468.
01:4568.
01:4668.
01:47Della sala stampa, press room.
01:49Della sala stampa, press room.
01:50Si, don't move, drop.
01:52I mean, it's no problem with putting big rings, but the problem is the power, so, but yeah,
01:58today, somehow I went through a...
02:02Press room.
02:03Press room.
02:04Primoz, you seemed a bit frustrated that you didn't won the time trial and you seemed
02:10a bit surprised to get the Maya Rosa.
02:13Is that observation correct and that the Maya Rosa comes a bit too early for you?
02:18I mean, yeah, for sure you always want to win, but at the end, I mean, I don't care so
02:25much about the results anymore, I'm told to be stressed about these details, I mean, like
02:31I said, I'm healthy, I'm functioning well, I did a nice time trial and it's just, yeah,
02:38a great surprise, I mean, at the end, I also have this pink jersey.
02:44We must congratulate your pink jersey, did you already work a lot with Dan Beckham, the
02:53new performance manager?
02:56Thank you, yes, I mean, obviously we try to put, yes, a work in, they have a lot of knowledge
03:07with Dan and with Johnny and, yes, we, you know, we need time at the end to put, yeah,
03:15the best of ourselves together, so, I mean, yeah, we are still working on it and, I mean,
03:21we see how far and how good we can be at the end.
03:25But for the moment, yeah, I mean, it's nice.
03:29Primoz, you said it's easier to lose the jersey than to gain it.
03:34In 2023, you had it just one day.
03:37What do you remember the day with the pink jersey?
03:41There was already a big party, yeah, so, yeah, it's a bit different now, this one.
03:51I mean, I will just enjoy it, you know, you have to take it, I mean, day by day, it's, yeah,
04:02just enjoy it, I mean, you know, you always say you never know when it's the last one,
04:06it's like with the wins or whatever, so, I mean, yeah, I will just enjoy it.
04:11Here?
04:12Primoz, if you do give the jersey to someone else, do you think about what happened in last year's Vuelta
04:17when you get five minutes to Ben O'Connor?
04:21I mean, in that case, some minutes less would be even better, no?
04:26So, yeah, we will see.
04:30Last question from the press room.
04:32Last question from the press room.
04:34Primoz, congratulations.
04:36How do you imagine tomorrow's stage with these short gaps but still gaps?
04:46Yeah, we will see.
04:47I mean, from the first ball, probably something like yesterday.
04:51I mean, it's a tough climb, so it just depends how hard will be the pace.
04:57But, obviously, Mats is in great shape, so I guess, I mean, definitely they will try to set it up again for him.
05:10Thank you, Primoz.
05:11Thank you, Primoz.
05:12Thank you, Primoz.
05:13And we have already Joshua Tarling coming.
05:16Joshua Tarling sta arrivando.
05:18Thank you, Primoz.
05:19Thank you, Primoz.
05:20Bye, Primoz.
05:21Thank you, Primoz.
05:22Vigilante.
05:23Bye, Primoz.
05:25Bye.
05:26Bye.
05:35Diamo il benvenuto al vincitore della seconda tappa, Joshua Tarling.
05:40Domande come sempre in inglese, poi traduciamo tutto alla fine.
05:43We welcome to the second semester.
05:47We welcome Joshua Tarling, winner of Stage 2.
05:50Questions will be in English and I will translate everything at the end.
05:52Iniziamo da qui, we start from here.
05:57Congratulations for a time trial specialist.
06:00What does it mean to win the first time trial in the Giro?
06:04Yeah, it's super special, you know.
06:05I think we have the confidence now as well.
06:08Looking forward to the next one.
06:10So, yeah, it's a good way to start.
06:14Next, Premier.
06:16Was this a goal from the start of the season?
06:20Yeah, for sure, I mean, obviously the Classics was first
06:23and then straight away after this it was switch on
06:25and we look forward to this,
06:28especially because I thought it suited me quite well, you know,
06:31with all the corners and it's just difficult, you know?
06:33So, yeah.
06:40Joshua, you spend maybe ten times more time on the hot seats
06:44than on the bike today in competition.
06:46So, what did you do all the time?
06:48How did you fight boredom?
06:50And what did you think during the Rite of Primoz?
06:55Yeah, I think it was...
06:57It was stressful, you know?
06:59For sure, I thought he was going to be fast.
07:02And then, obviously, at the top of the climb, he gained more than I would have liked.
07:07So, yeah, it was a really stressful watch on the way in.
07:12So, yeah.
07:14Yeah.
07:21Congratulations, Joshua.
07:24You already won a lot, European champion and Britain champion,
07:27where would you rank that performance in your personal book?
07:31Yeah, yeah, for sure, this is the top, I'd say.
07:35I think it's my first Grand Tour Stadium.
07:38So, yeah, it's super...
07:41I rank at the top.
07:44Da qua.
07:45Some GC riders said the course was risky.
07:49Do you think the same?
07:50Was it so?
07:51Yeah, it was...
07:57Don't take them.
07:57Don't take the risk then.
07:58I think it's part of it.
08:01I think, for sure, there were some drains,
08:04but this is how the city is, you know?
08:07So, you can always break it.
08:17Congrats, Josh.
08:18I remember, after last year as well,
08:20you felt at TT, you said you felt like a brick,
08:22and you were, yeah, disappointed with the wrestle that day.
08:25Did that day give you any extra motivation for today
08:28that you want to win?
08:31Yeah, yeah, I mean, I tried to forget it, mate,
08:34but, no, I think that whole part of the season
08:38is really motivated at the start of this season,
08:40so, yeah, it's affected it.
08:42It's all right.
08:43It's all right.
08:44It's all right.
08:45It's all right.
08:46It's all right.
08:47It's all right.
08:48From here.
08:49Congratulations.
08:50Thanks, mate.
08:52Iniziamo la traduzione delle conferenze stampa.
08:55Partiamo dalla conferenza stampa di Primo Stroglic.
08:58Sono felice di essere in maglia rosa.
09:00Forse non era nei programmi, sarebbe meglio averla a Roma,
09:04però è comunque un grande risultato.
09:06La cronometro di oggi non pensavo che potesse fare distacchi eccessivi.
09:11E' anche una cronometro che non mi si adattava al meglio,
09:14però mi sentivo bene, sono felice e mi sono anche divertito dopo l'arrivo,
09:19dopo che ho scoperto di aver conquistato la maglia rosa.
09:22Il mio rapporto oggi era del 68.
09:24Penso sempre che non sia un problema di rapporti o di cambi,
09:27ma dei potenze delle gambe, oggi ne erano a posto.
09:31Chiaramente ho del rammarico per non aver vinto la tappa,
09:34perché si vuole sempre vincere, però mi sono consolato con un ottimo premio finale.
09:38Sto diventando anziano, non mi focalizzo sui risultati singoli, sto bene.
09:44Sono anche sorpreso di avere questa maglia addosso.
09:47Chiaramente in squadra stiamo cercando di fare sempre un bel lavoro,
09:53abbiamo dei preparatori nuovi, ci fidiamo tanto di loro.
09:57Ci fidiamo, cerchiamo di fare il meglio così come cercano di fare loro.
10:02Bisogna lavorare e migliorarsi sempre.
10:04Oggi è stata una bella festa dopo l'arrivo, mi piace, mi diverto a correre.
10:09Giorno dopo giorno bisogna saper sempre sfruttare questi momenti,
10:12perché non sai mai quando sarà la prossima festa, non ho avuto così tanti anni davanti a me.
10:17L'anno scorso la Vuelta è andata via una fuga nelle prime tappe, ho perso la maglia a discapito di O'Connor.
10:29Sicuramente potrebbero esserci delle fughe nei prossimi giorni,
10:32nel caso spero di perdere meno minuti e di rischiare meno rispetto alla Vuelta dell'anno scorso.
10:37La tappa di domani, la salita di domani, non la conosco tanto bene,
10:42però penso possa diventare una tappa simile a quella di ieri.
10:46Vedremo che il ritmo vorranno imporre, soprattutto l'idl track,
10:48perché Mats Pedersen è in grande forma e penso possa essere il favorito anche domani.
10:52Conferenza invece di Joshua Tarling, vincitore di tappa, è un'emozione speciale, ho vinto questa crono,
11:00è la mia prima tappa in un grande giro, è sicuramente la vittoria più bella della mia carriera.
11:04È anche la prima crono del giro, quindi era molto difficile vincere la migliore maniera per partire.
11:12Quest'anno il mio obiettivo di inizio era andare nelle classiche, volevo andare forte lì.
11:16E forse è stato anche un po' complicato adattarsi a una nuova preparazione,
11:20cercare di fare un blocco di gare a inizio anno e poi puntare sul giro.
11:25Però il risultato di oggi dimostra che abbiamo avuto ragione.
11:28È stato molto stressante vedere Roglic in corsa, ha guadagnato molto in salita,
11:32nel finale ero molto nervoso. Sarebbe stato un peccato se mi avesse battuto,
11:41perché sono stato così tanto sulla hot seat e ho sperato fino all'ultimo.
11:45Il percorso poteva presentare dei rischi, però come dico sempre, se hai paura non prendere i rischi,
11:55non è obbligatorio. Sapevamo le strade, quindi abbiamo fatto tutti la ricognizione.
12:01Io penso di aver rischiato il giusto per vincere.
12:03L'anno scorso ho finito la stagione in una maniera un po' sottotono.
12:07Quest'anno sapevamo che dovevamo cambiare un po' il ritmo e l'abbiamo fatto.
12:12Abbiamo iniziato la stagione molto bene di come abbiamo terminato quella scorsa.
12:15Grazie.
