00:00Yeah it was one of the hardest days on the bike I had ever so yeah again super happy
00:10way to shape actually but it's yeah it's difficult to win in this position as well
00:14everything needs to be 100% correct and yeah it was a bit of a gamble in the end
00:20but I think yeah it was a really nice day out there gamble in what sense I think
00:27you tacked you tried a 10k out you tried a couple times there what was the gamble
00:30yeah it was of course a lot of riders looking at me but yeah in the end you also need to look at
00:38the other riders if you want to win the stage of course so yeah it's not up to me to react to every
00:45single attack so that that was the gamble in the end like I responded to several but not all of
00:51them going back to the hardest day on the bike I also heard from Pogacar said it's like a tour
00:55different stage and he had salt stains all over his jersey and shorts why was it so hard out there
01:01the weather the way of racing in the roads yeah the combination but I mean I think we have 45 average
01:083000 altitude meters today so that's enough I think Mathieu this morning we said that there was different
01:15strategies possible finally you were one of the most aggressive riders I think in the first kilometers
01:19why did you chose that strategy going from the gun yeah we thought that breakaway might might have a
01:27chance today it had in the end but we didn't get that much room I think because of Lipovic that was in
01:34our group so that was a bit of a pity but I think in the end we pulled really hard all day to make it and
01:41yeah it's good to at least have some points at the end it's an important test also before Tour de France
01:47on this kind of terrain yeah for sure I mean just in general for the shape it's it's important to have
01:52hard days like this it's impossible to recreate them on training so that's why I'm here
