00:01Good morning, Watt.
00:02Good morning.
00:05Was it a stage that you targeted since the beginning of this Tour de France,
00:09that you had in mind, at least, knowing the characteristics of it?
00:13Yeah, well, I had multiple stages in mind and I thought this would be a pure breakaway stage.
00:20So, yeah, a bit of a chance. So, yeah, after a few days of climbing, a new opportunity.
00:26How would you like to play it out? Ideally, what would be the ideal scenario for you?
00:31Yeah, I cannot see something else happening than a breakaway going to the finish.
00:35I think the stage is too hard to control. So, yeah, we'll start with a big fight for the breakaway, I believe.
00:42And then, hopefully, we make it in and we can play from there.
00:49The difficulty is when we are with Van Artis, everybody is kind of scared of you,
00:52at least really attentive of every of your moves.
00:55So, how would you see the final with this last climb, which could be good for you and the return to Carcassonne?
01:01Yeah, I think the climb is quite hard. For me, it will depend on which climbers maybe are in the break to make over it or not.
01:10But, yeah, I like a bit of a challenge. So, yeah, we'll see how that goes.
01:15Thank you. Have the best. Success.
