02:59...as a team and for the whole team is super, super special.
03:04Hey, sorry, just can you talk a bit about what you were thinking about during that long solo effort and how much your wrist was affecting you throughout it?
03:11Yeah, for sure. I mean, basically from when I attacked to the finish line, I was trying to manage a cramp in my left leg. So I was really just trying to go as hard as I could without pushing it over the limit.
03:24And then, yeah, to be honest, my wrist is going to be troubling me for a long, long time to come. I have to tape it up every training rider, every race, and it's still quite sore.
03:35It was funny. I think I was getting some warnings from the motorbikes and the commissaires for not holding the bars. And I was trying to hold the bars. I just couldn't because of my wrist.
03:44So, yeah, it's troubling me a little bit, but at the end of the day, I can still race, I can still get through. And it's probably going to be like that until the off-season again this year.
03:56But to make today happen is super, super special, not just for me, but for, I think, everyone that's stuck by me, whether it's my family, my girlfriend, or the team.
04:06I mean, the team hasn't had an amazing year so far, and there's been a lot of restructures in the team. So, it's sort of, this is for everyone, hey? It's not just for me.
04:17Next question. Prossima domanda.
04:21Okay. Demarchi is not here to the Giro.
04:26Do you want to say something to Alessandro?
04:40Yeah, I mean, Demarchi was part of the Giro last year, and it was the first time racing with him, and he's an amazing person, and I think so, so talented.
04:50I only found out that he wasn't coming to the Giro when you guys found out as well.
04:54So, I mean, I can see him training so hard already at the moment. I don't think he's had a break.
04:59So, hopefully, he gets his opportunity to finish off the season super, super strong, whether it's the Tour or the Volta.
05:07But, yeah, he's a champion of the sport, and I mean, I'm sure he wishes he was here, and everyone does as well.
05:14But I'm sure Demarchi's career and his chapter's not over yet, and I think he'll show some.
05:20He'll show everyone one more time this year before he retires what he's capable of.
05:25Daniel?
05:25Congratulations on your win, Luke. I have a two-parter. The first one is, you know, you've been knocking on the door for a while,
05:32but what does this first World Tour or Grand Tour stage win mean for you in your career?
05:37And you mentioned the restructuring. Has that been a distraction in the last couple of weeks at all?
05:43Yeah, first of all, with the first part, yeah, it's a nice monkey to get off the back.
05:50I think winning in such a low-level race in Greece was, I mean, it was a low-level race,
05:56but it was a big thing to get that monkey off the back.
05:59And then to get one here, hopefully, like my good mate Richie Porte said,
06:03hopefully the floodgates can open.
06:06So, it's a super, super special win in a race that, I mean, I did last year,
06:10and I was really keen to come back here this year and try to target it.
06:13So, yeah, it means a lot, and hopefully it can sort of give me the confidence going forward.
06:18And, yeah, the restructuring the team, obviously, it's quite public what has happened.
06:24I mean, for Whitey, for myself, he was a massive reason.
06:27For when I was a junior, when I was 12 and started the sport,
06:30watching the Green Edge backstage passes and wanting to become a part of this team,
06:35and I think the Aussie culture that he created and everyone in the team created
06:39was something that I always aspired to want to be a part of this team.
06:43And when the opportunity arose end of, well, 18 months ago to join the team,
06:49it was, I jumped straight on it.
06:51So, I've got Whitey to thank for not only what he's done for me for the last 18 months,
06:55but also Australian cycling and, I think, encouraging young people to look at this team
07:00and have some fun.
07:01So, I thank him for so much as what he's done for the team and for me personally.
07:09And, yeah, and looking forward, I think Dylan got a win today, I heard,
07:12which is super, super special, and I got a win today.
07:16So, yeah, I think we're moving forward really, really well, Beno, for the tour.
07:20So, I think it's just getting started for the team.
07:22We had a slow start, but I think the momentum's really starting to build.
07:27Any more questions?
07:29Di qua basta, grazie.
07:31Domande?
07:37I guess no.
07:38So, thank you, Luke.
07:39Congratulations.
07:39Thank you.
