00:30One rider I always looked up to and I still look up to is Garen Thomas.
00:36I really enjoyed watching him race and I know him a little bit now.
00:41It's always nice to speak to him.
00:43And obviously, I think when Wiggins won the Tour in 2012,
00:48that really started a big boom for cycling in the UK.
00:53And you can see that with the amount of riders coming through now.
00:56Oscar Only, still there.
01:01Only is moving at the moment into the top four in the Tour de France.
01:04Obviously, climbing is a big strength, but I don't know yet whether how I perform on these longer climbs compared to these top guys.
01:17You can afford to follow Pog with 1k to go, but if he goes with 10k to go, then it's a different story.
01:24And Pogaccia and Vingegaard are not really the guys I'm racing against.
01:28Only is on his limit right now.
01:32Only is in the cars as he tries to stay.
01:35A lot of pain.
01:42It's really, really hard to try and follow Pogaccia.
01:46But, I mean, just to race against these guys, but to also be competing against them.
01:50And it's something that, yeah, like I said, it really excites me.
01:54And I don't feel any pressure because I know that it's very unlikely for me to beat these guys.
02:02But I just have to enjoy what I'm doing and, yeah, just see where I end up.
02:08Big acceleration from Sepkus.
02:10Oscar Only goes with him.
02:11For me, it feels like there's a lot of attention on me because I'm not really used to anything like this before.
02:20It's natural that I'm a bit of the underdog or the, yeah, the rider in the shadows.
02:26The plan still stays the same.
02:28And, yeah, we really just have to see how it goes each day because I'm also realistic.
02:33And I know that there's a good chance that I have a bad day or I'm just not at the level of these top guys on different stages.
02:40And if that's the case, then we go back to the original plan and try to lose a bit more time and try and get in some more breakaways.
02:49But for now, I just keep doing what I'm doing and, yeah, just try to get results where I can.
