00:21at the end and we start from here hi carlos congratulations what does it mean for you to win
00:31such a good stage in front of your family oh i mean these victories online is also of them i
00:38met my wife when i was junior we were in the national team and we start our career together
00:44i mean and you know like we have been grow up as a family i have grown up as a person and now i
00:52grow up also as a cyclist and yeah i mean to be here with them has been super emotional i just
00:58missing my little one leo we have three kids he could not be here but this victory is also for him
01:03and together we do a great team you know like for me now the main reason to stay in cycling is to find
01:08the balance between the sport and the family the sport is very demanding you can give it
01:14has much time energies that you want but they are always there to keep my feet in the ground
01:19to enjoy the little things in life to think something else than in the sport and yeah
01:24that's having them here has been so emotional
01:30carlos congratulations i see you're very emotional where does this emotion come from and how are you
01:37going to handle it tonight for example ah i mean it's just a victory i'm somebody like yesterday
01:43when we lose chico yeah for sure when i cross the finish line i was super disappointed
01:48but i try to stay calm to stay always in the line you know and yeah today i mean this is just sport
01:55this is just a victory it's very nice because at the end i think cycling and all the sports is to
02:01to create emotions you know to entertain people and i hope people enjoy watching this victory i really
02:06enjoy trying to do my everything for for the team everything for my family everything for all the
02:11hard work that's me and the team did during this season because i mean we we see just this stage but
02:18for example chicone that's even could not play for victory today he's been like maybe i'll be two
02:24months in altitude making so many sacrifices and yeah we are here to do with our all and i'm super happy that
02:31at the end everything came out in the best way possible press rooms congratulations carlos explain
02:43a little bit how the work of a gregario you know a helper who's always supporting team captains and
02:51everything so the it's not often that you get the chance so the you won a stage before i believe in
02:58the dauphiné and so that the winning instinct how do you suddenly find that changing your mentality
03:04for someone who's pulling pulling for everyone else and then all of a sudden you're in a final
03:08where you have to basically find the right moment and and seek out the weaknesses in your in your
03:14competitors good question actually in the first part of the stage i was trying to be in the break
03:21and i miss it and i thought this was a good learning because i was not really prepared to be
03:26fighting for breakaways in this year and i say okay today has been a good training to be there but
03:31then i saw you are still pulling and i say let's give a chance let's try to hang on as long as possible
03:36and then we'll see because when they're up is a hard time and when we were up there only 15 guys and
03:41i was still with the gc favorites i say maybe your legs are not so bad carlos i already saw in san
03:46pellegrino that i could be up there and then when i saw i was so strong i say okay maybe there is people
03:52that was already in the break but i know when you're in a breakaway has much how much you have to
03:56spend uh when we when i was in the second breakaway that was after monte grappa i i i knew that i had
04:03the best legs for sure so i just need to be strong also the final was quite good for me i'm
04:11decent engine like i'm not really good when i have to make a lot of attacks or tactics or sprints but i
04:17can keep a good tempo for a long time and it's what i did i just found my moment i went full gas i
04:23knew also i could not gamble a lot because we had the gc riders not so far behind so i went full
04:30and i say okay all or nothing and at the end was all and i'm very happy i i could do it because
04:35as you know as you say it is not very easy for a rider like me press room
04:41hey carlos uh it's an incredible jury d'italia for a little trek you seems you really seems to be a
04:50group of friends more than a group of excellent riders what's the secret of uh of your friendship
04:57it's uh i don't know the winter training it's what's the secret of this this union between you
05:03the human side of this team i mean in this team really you feel from management like there is
05:11really like persons above the all the brands that we have you know uh and then the group of
05:18riders that we have here is simply amazing like matt spedersen is a real leader in the road we saw
05:24he wanted four stages but you cannot imagine for example the words that he said yesterday we had to
05:28leave the hero no for me matt is i've been in pro cycling for 15 years now and his leadership in all
05:34the ways is incredible and when you have such a good leader then makes that everybody gives his 10
05:43extra that everybody is also honest with himself and with the team no so everybody can show his
05:49strengths but also his abilities and then doesn't matter you know for example yesterday i was the only
05:53one that didn't crash because they know that maybe i'm not the most technical right in the group so
05:57i say okay carlos no worries you can stay behind don't stress today tomorrow will be your time
06:01in the mountains no and when you have a team where you can be really honest and show how you
06:06are and you don't have to to show anything else or anything that is not true everything is you know
06:12it's like a wheel that keeps going and going and yeah i want to dedicate this victory to chicone
06:17that cannot be here but also to the old team like mats all the all the guys because also when you
06:23have somebody like mats everybody shows his best version and also the staff that's i mean it's we
06:31don't see them no but i think in this team everybody does his role as best as possible and this is the
06:37key of the success and i'm super happy to be here and to be part of this team and also this time
06:43deliver a victory from here as italians we always were we're waiting for chicco how did you live
06:53yesterday the news that he had he had to go home i mean in the first moment is shocking because also
07:00we were waiting for this week also in my personal case you know like i was waiting to do all the work
07:05this last week i mean it's well i was like in uh the different example of the sterrato i woke up super
07:10worried not for me more like i hope i we don't lose the gc with chico or with mass you know because
07:16at the end they are the ones that give a reason for my job no and yeah it was a big shock but at the
07:24end it is like it is life is like this you need to be resilient and like chico say cicade
07:31uh so we need to we need to keep going to look to the future i think everything happens for a reason
07:40this was not the year of chicco but for sure something good is waiting for him
07:45uh yeah and this victory is to honor him and all the preparation that he did final question from the

09:45everything at the end iniziamo da qui we start from here isaac congrats first of all um on tuesday
09:59started the third week uh you are leader with good gaps obviously not big but good uh you can be
10:06considered now the leader of the team uh uh first option yeah maybe we need to see because sayuso and
10:15adam they are so strong and we need to play good the cards we are there everybody and we will see who
10:22we play in the last week but uh for sure uh i show a little bit that i'm quite good and and we need to
10:30play the three of us next question yes he is in the middle between you and uh ayuso i don't know
10:40he's i said i told him he's the meat in the sandwich but how do you see him how much of a danger is he
10:45who yes simon okay uh yeah because
10:55no i mean uh for sure is a great rider we saw like he is in really good shape uh i can see
11:04some things about the riders around me when we are in the bunch and for sure he is a good contender
11:10to win zero from here congratulations maybe today was the first mountain stage with that attacks
11:17uh carapaz again how did you feel were you nervous were you ready how how did you feel
11:24yeah in my position i feel nervous because for sure there are everyone is my idol i am like a fan
11:32but now i need to follow the attacks and for sure i know it's going to happen now now now and i'm just
11:37waiting and yeah being able to follow is crazy press room yeah it's like a specific question for the
11:54stage today we saw ineas again very active maybe also at a point in the race that somewhat early as
12:00we've seen how do you um were you expecting attacks that early and how do you see ineos and banal's role
12:09in this race uh yeah for sure they are always super active in the race i can i cannot say like for
12:21sure someone when we're talking about to rapa but if i need to say now someone for sure i will say before
12:28maybe ineos is the most because they always attack like this and actually i like it for the the race
12:34and and yeah we was the question is when you know and when they pass like a fast train in north side we
12:43just went in the wheel and just wait for the attack because we knew like it will happen no i tried to
12:49understand when it will happen because i see aresman will make a gap and with the win i need to go
12:57quickly and yeah i was able to follow and and manage more or less attacks today thank you gracias carlos
13:07carlos verona vincere qua per mia vuol dire tutto eh di fronte alla mia famiglia ho conosciuto mia moglie
13:25quando entrambi correvamo nella categoria juniors abbiamo iniziato la nostra carriera insieme ci siamo
13:31conosciuti siamo cresciuti insieme e sono cresciuto come persona insieme a lei eh abbiamo una famiglia
13:37tre bambini e siamo diciamo un grande team eh bello trovare un equilibrio giusto tra sport e famiglia
13:43e loro quando possono vengono sempre da me per darmi coraggio eh la vittoria di oggi è stata
13:48meravigliosa ieri purtroppo abbiamo perso ciccone eravamo molto delusi eh però sapevo che dovevo stare
13:53calmo eh è stata una giornata emozionante sicuramente la gente si è divertita guardando questa gara alla tv
13:59eh ho sempre dato tutto per il team per il team in cui ho corso e in questa stagione eh siamo stati molto insieme io ciccone
14:07so che oggi si sarebbe potuto giocare la vittoria abbiamo fatto due mesi in altura tanti sacrifici eh
14:12li auguro il meglio e che ritorni eh presto nella prima parte di tappa volevo andare in fuga ma non ci sono
14:19riuscito quando ho visto che era andato via quel gruppone ho detto eh forse nonostante l'età devo
14:23ancora imparare poi però ho visto che lui tirava eh ho pensato forse c'è ancora una chance siamo
14:28rimasti una quindicina una ventina di atleti ero lì con i migliori un po' come è successo a San
14:33Pellegrino quindi le mie gambe stavano bene sono riuscito ad entrare nella seconda fuga sapevo che
14:38avevo buone gambe che il finale si adattava perché io non sono un corridore da scatti e
14:42contro scatti però sono forte sul passo soprattutto se posso imporre il mio passo
14:46eh avevamo gli uomini di classifica poco dietro quindi ho detto devo attaccare era tutto niente alla
14:52fine stavo tutto eh questa squadra è fantastica siamo un team meraviglioso ci trattano tutti come
14:58delle persone e siamo gestiti da grandi persone è un gruppo di lavoro eccellente voglio evidenziare
15:04Pedersen perché è veramente un grande leader ho corso per quindici anni e difficilmente raramente
15:10ho trovato persone così ieri ha ha detto delle parole bellissime di incoraggiamento a Ciccone e la
15:16sua leadership è incredibile eh dopo la caduta abbiamo ci siamo dovuti un po' riorganizzare eh ieri mi
15:23hanno detto che poteva avere una chance e quando la squadra ti dà il via libera è fantastico voglio
15:29dedicare la vittoria a Ciccone e a tutti loro e anche a Maz siamo veramente un gruppo eccezionale
15:34questa squadra tutti fanno di tutto per metterti a tuo agio sono felicissimo di correrci ieri quando
15:42c'è stata la caduta Ciccone è stato uno shock per tutti tutti aspettavamo questa settimana penso anche
15:48il giorno degli sterrati quando mi sono svegliato la mia preoccupazione non era per me stesso ma era per lui
15:51volevamo che passasse indenne la la tappa delle delle strade bianche a lui dico di essere resiliente
15:57di non di non mollare eh doveva essere il suo giro ma sono sicuro che con dedizione e allenamento
16:03tornerà più forte di prima ho capito che avrei vinto solo a 50 metri dal traguardo anche l'altra
16:09volta che ho vinto in carriera avevo Roglic veramente eh attaccato alla mia ruota e oggi uguale gli uomini
16:16di classifica stavano rientrando abbiamo perso il nostro leader eh la mia funzione di solo
16:21quella di aiutare il leader e eh e oggi volevo aiutare il team è una vittoria così ce la
16:27meritavamo eh vedremo cosa succederà nella terza settimana il morale comunque tornerà
16:33a essere un po' più alto dopo oggi invece Isaac del Toro ha detto la situazione sono leader
16:39non lo so e dobbiamo vedere col team dobbiamo parlarne anche ai usoli eh siamo entrambi in gara
16:44per giocarci le nostre carte la terza settimana è lunga ho dimostrato di stare bene ma sarà
16:49la strada a decidere chi tra me aiuto sarà il leader sicuramente poi c'è tenere in conto
16:53anche Simon Yates che sta molto bene in forma eh lo vedo pedalare bene in gruppo ed è chiaramente
16:59da tenere in considerazione per la maglia rosa oggi è stata una tappa molto dura e molto
17:04nervosa e mi fa strano eh ero un fan di Bernal e Carapaz quando ero più piccolo adesso mi tocca
17:11inseguirli stare con loro è stato stressante ma anche se sono due corridori che ho mirato
17:16tanto in passato adesso io corro contro di loro è stata una corsa attiva e mh sapevo che qualcuno
17:23ci avrebbe provato su Monte Grappa e la Inos sta correndo molto l'attacco ed è una maniera
17:27di correre che mi piace quando ho visto che Arielsman risaliva in gruppo ho detto sì da
17:32qui a poco a pochi chilometri attaccheranno è di successo proprio su Monte Grappa mi sono
17:36incollato alle loro ruote e sono riuscito a seguirli quindi devo dire che è stata una giornata positiva
17:46grazie a tutti
