00:00Today do you want to win on Mont Ventoux or do you really, really, really want to win on Mont Ventoux?
00:10I think everybody wants to win on Mont Ventoux but we know why we're here and we see the race situation.
00:20We need to defend the yellow, that's like I say every day.
00:23But you love winning and you love winning in legendary places, no?
00:26Yes, but the one win is important that is in Paris.
00:30Do you like Mont Ventoux?
00:32Yes, when I did the first time of Mont Ventoux was in 2021 and I was really impressed by the climb and by the area.
00:42I really enjoyed the training there.
00:45I will not say I fall in love with the climb but I definitely love the area to ride around.
00:53And yes, I am looking forward for today to go up there to this legendary climb.
00:58Because the last time we went up there on the Tour, it wasn't an easy day for you?
01:02No, it was not an easy day.
01:03I remember I overcooked myself and yes, now I have to look.
01:08Look, my eyes are on the back and an extra bottle in the pocket.
01:13And yes, it reminds me of that day that I need to cool myself down every single day.
