00:00Welcome to the winner of the Giro d'Italia 108, Simon Yates.
00:05Congratulations. We welcome the winner of the Giro d'Italia, Simon Yates.
00:11The press conference will be in English and we will translate everything at the end.
00:18Questions in English, then we'll talk about everything at the end. Let's go.
00:26Hi, Simon. Congrats. And just two questions.
00:29Did you ever dream as a child of winning the Giro d'Italia?
00:34And a question about the Siena stage because you obtained a fifth position.
00:42And how much was important for all the GC that position in a stage which was not for good on the paper?
00:52Yeah, I mean, even since I turned professional, I, you know, I always dreamed of winning the best races.
01:00And of course, the Grand Tours, you know, the pinnacle of our sport.
01:04And, um, yeah, I mean, I, I fell in love with the race, of course, in, uh, in 2018.
01:10And I think you all, you guys know already now that, uh, yeah, I mean, um, had my ups and downs here, but, um, the race that kept calling my name.
01:20And, um, yeah, I finally managed to, to win the race.
01:23So, uh, I, uh, still can't believe it, but, uh, a dream come true.
01:28And, uh, yeah, I think with the Siena stage, I think, um, yeah, I mean, it's not the, the, the stage that I really enjoy.
01:36Um, because I think, you know, no, we as riders, we take, um, yeah, we, we sacrifice a lot, a lot of time away from home and, um, you know, you could have a, an untimely puncture at any moment and your race could be over.
01:50So, um, I don't like that, that side of things, but, um, of course, it's really entertaining racing.
01:56And thankfully the team, uh, positioned me really well into the first sector and, and from there I could, uh, manage myself, um, quite well.
02:05So in the end, uh, it was a good day for me.
02:08Next question.
02:10Hi, Simon.
02:11Um, yesterday you spoke a lot about belief, both in yourself and from the team.
02:15Is that something that you've struggled with recently or in your career, both from yourself and externally?
02:21Um, I mean, yeah, I think you always have, you know, a self-belief.
02:25That you can, that you can pull something off or you can do something.
02:28And, um, yeah, but I'd just been, um, you know, slowly losing time really to the, to, um, to, to Richie and, uh, and Isaac.
02:39And, um, yeah, I was looking more and more, you know, further away that, you know, to win the race was, um, you know, it wasn't going to be an easy, an easy task to, to win the race.
02:51Um, but like I said yesterday, I mean, the, the guys, uh, encouraged me just to try, you know, you never know.
02:57And yeah, I also believed and that's why I, I tried.
03:01And, and then, yeah, you saw yesterday that I managed to pull it off.
03:04So, uh, really crazy day.
03:07Next question.
03:08Hi, congratulations.
03:10Two questions for me too.
03:12The first one this morning in this magic day, you met the Pope.
03:15What kind of moment was it?
03:17And the second, you spent 11 years in the same team trying to win the Giro change of team and you won the Giro.
03:25What did change?
03:27Yeah.
03:28I mean, firstly today, uh, the star was really incredible.
03:33I, for some reason I didn't realize we were going to stop and, and really to meet him.
03:38I thought we would just pass through.
03:39So yeah, I know for an unforgettable moment for me.
03:42Uh, I think for all the, all the riders there as well, um, just to be there and, um, you know, have his, uh, his, his blessings.
03:50Um, second question was again, um, yeah, I mean, I think I just needed a change.
04:04Um, and I wanted to come to a team that knew how to, to win the grand tours.
04:10They've done it successfully with, with different riders.
04:13And, um, I mean, look, it's looking like it paid off.
04:18Um, of course I have no regrets with, um, staying in, in Jacob for so long.
04:23I think, um, I have some, you know, lifelong friends and, and some great memories there.
04:28You know, pretty much all my successes over the Giro right now, um, have been there.
04:34So, um, to really pinpoint one, one difference, I would not be able to tell you because, um, they're just very different teams.
04:41Next question.
04:43Uh, Simon, two questions.
04:45One about thoughts, the unconscious thoughts that we have in good moments in life.
04:50Uh, did you ever have a thought like about, uh, quitting, uh, stopping doing this crazy job, uh, in your life, uh, chasing Giro d'Italia?
05:01And second question about the force you had in the last four, 24 hours.
05:05Uh, what did you think that you've maybe you've never thought before that you will be a base for your future?
05:12Yeah.
05:13I mean, I think all of us, uh, we always have doubts if we were doing the right thing or if we, you know, we, um, are on the right path.
05:23I've also, you know, um, had a lot of setbacks, you know, not, not just here at the Giro, but a bit of a races as well, where I thought, yeah, maybe it's, uh, time to stop.
05:33You know, do something, uh, do something else, but I kept, uh, kept going and I, uh, found myself back here again.
05:41And like I said before, this, this year was my year, so really no, had no bad luck this year, you know, which is what I had in the past.
05:49And, um, yeah, next question.
05:54Simon, congrats.
05:55We saw you in tears yesterday.
05:57Can you, have you ever been in that kind of emotional state before for something in cycling or away from cycling?
06:04And how do you feel now?
06:05How would you express your emotions now?
06:07How do you feel?
06:08Um, no, I don't think so.
06:10I don't think so.
06:11It's really, um, yeah, I would normally consider myself quite, uh, you know, on, on emotional, let's say.
06:18And, um, quite focused.
06:21Um, but I, I just couldn't hold it back.
06:24Yesterday, uh, really, um, yeah, it really got to me and, yeah, not to keep repeating myself, but it's something that I've, I've really worked for and sacrificed for, for, for, uh, a long time.
06:36And, um, I just, uh, yeah, I just couldn't believe that I had managed to pull it off.
06:42Um, and I, yeah, I just, just, it just come, come pouring out.
06:47So, um, still thinking again as well.
06:50So, uh, yeah, yeah, of course.
06:56I mean, uh, also today, I think we also just finished in such a great way with, uh, with the stage one as well.
07:01I think everyone's just, uh, sort of on cloud nine as well.
07:04You know, you really start to realize, you know, what we've sort of accomplished here.
07:07We had a great Giro and, um, yeah, we'll see what happens after this.
07:13Last two questions.
07:15Yeah.
07:16Simon congrats.
07:17Uh, obviously yesterday you have been, uh, without any doubt, the strongest, but also the smartest,
07:22in your opinion, smartness has been a key factor in your success or, or not really?
07:27Well, it says we don't only a question of legs.
07:30Yeah.
07:31I don't know.
07:32I mean, I, I had an idea that, uh, on this con to just, to get away.
07:37Um, I really wanted to be alone so that I could focus on my, my own effort.
07:41Um, cause I knew I had strong legs and I knew I could, um, you know, once I was alone that I could really just, you know, concentrate on my, my own, um, performance.
07:50Um, I did feel like some of the other stages where, were, let's say more tactical and it came down to, you know, you had a, you know, more explosive final, um, where I was sort of losing time, but I just knew or felt that I, you know, had more to give on a, a longer sustained effort.
08:10Um, so yeah, I had the idea, but I just needed to, uh, to get away by myself and managed to do that.
08:18And to be honest from there, it was, uh, quite simple in a way because every day we had the plan to send somebody up the road to, um, you know, to try and support me if I needed to, to come up, you know, if I attacked or something.
08:31And, um, yeah, worked as well.
08:35Final question for Simon.
08:37We saw, we saw you riding close to your brother.
08:41His team didn't win the Giro or lost the Giro.
08:44What did you talk about?
08:45Um, with my brother, we, yeah, we're very close, but actually we don't talk a lot about cycling most of the time.
08:53So, um, yeah, today's, uh, talk, actually, we were just talking, um, about riding through the Vatican city there.
09:01Um, you know, just normal life in, in a way like, um, but I think that team, I mean, Isaac himself, um, he's such a young guy.
09:09I think he has a really bright feet.
09:12I mean, he's already world class.
09:13I think when I was 21, I was still just, uh, uh, you know, Neo pro.
09:17I don't know.
09:18Maybe I was not even professional yet.
09:19So I'm sure he will, uh, bounce back and he'll have, uh, a lot of months, a lot more success in his future.
09:25Thank you, Simon.
09:26Congratulations.
09:27Thank you, Simon, and congratulations.
09:29Thank you, Simon.
09:31Thank you, Simon.
09:32Thank you, Simon.
09:34Andiamo con la, la traduzione della conferenza stampa di, eh, Simon Yates.
09:45Da quando sono passato professionista volevo vincere le corse più belle.
09:49Chiaramente è un grande giro è qualcosa, è il meglio del nostro sport.
09:52Ci sono andato vicino già nel 2018, qui al giro.
09:55È stata una carriera di tanti alti e tanti bassi, però finalmente ce l'ho fatta.
09:58È un sogno diventato realtà.
10:00it's not a time where I'm going to have a lot of fun
10:04because I thought that many corridors who have sacrificed months of preparation
10:08would have lost the course for a break or a break
10:12it's been very beautiful to see in TV
10:14fortunately everything is right
10:16the squadra helped me a lot
10:18and I was able to pass that day in Denner
10:20we are always in squadra good or not good
10:26there were maybe even differences
10:28three days ago
10:30I had lost time with Richard Carapazza and Del Toro
10:32I was a little bit
10:34but in the end we had thought
10:36and yesterday we had encouraged
10:38and then we were perfect
10:40we tried it
10:42and it went well
10:44the moment in which we stopped in Vaticano
10:48was incredible
10:49we knew the Papa
10:50but we didn't have an idea
10:52that we had to stop
10:53it was an incredible moment
10:54but not only for me
10:55but for all of us
10:56it was beautiful to be there
10:58regarding my squadra
11:00I've been running for 11 years
11:02and for I needed to change
11:04I've been running in a squadra
11:05that knows how to win
11:06two years ago I've been
11:07three greats
11:08with three different corridors
11:09and it was a choice
11:10that I paid
11:11but I've had some friends
11:12and I've always had a good
11:13good man
11:14and I've also won
11:15I could say
11:17I don't know what is different
11:18than the past
11:19I think
11:21I think that
11:22we are always doing
11:23if we are doing the right
11:24if we are doing the right
11:25if we are doing the right
11:26if we are doing the right
11:27if we are doing the right
11:28I think that
11:29I've had a lot of delusions in my career, not only in the Giro, but also in other courses.
11:33I thought that it was the moment to stop, but then I continued, I didn't move.
11:38I've always found myself to be in Corsa, even after having thought of wanting to stop.
11:44I have 33 years, and maybe compared to the last year I've had less luck, and now I'm here in Maglia Rosa.
11:50I don't think I've ever tried something like I've tried in my life.
11:55I may seem a little emotional, but I've had a lot of time, I've had a lot of time, I've had a lot of time, I've had a lot of time, I've had a lot of time, I've had a lot of time.
12:07I've had a lot of fun, but I'm happy because we've finished this tappo in a wonderful scenario.
12:14It's been a beautiful day, I've started to think about pedal, I've started to think about what we've done, and we've made a great tour.
12:21I was on the Cilegina on the Torta.
12:24Regarding the tappo of ieri, I thought I'd only go on my own path.
12:28I thought I'd stay well, but I thought maybe the final was better to be more explosive,
12:33and that if we were remaining together, there would be more control.
12:36Invece, I could only focus on my performance.
12:40It was also a risk choice, because I could lose time, but I wanted to try it alone.
12:46Every time we do plans, we don't often work, we can't do anything different.
12:51Invece, ieri è andata tutta alla perfezione.
12:54Con mio fratello, non parliamo tanto di corse.
12:57Oggi in corse stiamo parlando più che altro di vita in generale, niente di speciale.
13:02Sicuramente Adam corre con un ragazzo molto forte come Isaac del Toro,
13:05che è giovane, ha un bel futuro, ha 21 anni, è già un top, tre coitori top del mondo.
13:10Quando io avevo 20 anni ero un neoprof, anche piuttosto timido.
13:14Sono sicuro che lui tornerà e avrà altre chance per vincere.
