00:00It's an honor to be able to just race here and I think I've always had the dream but I didn't
00:15really believe it was possible. I was never that good when I was a youth rider I was always quite
00:21small and struggled on these flatter circuits that we had a lot of. One rider I always looked
00:33up to and I still look up to is Garen Thomas. I really enjoyed watching him race and I know him
00:40a little bit now and it's always nice to speak to him and obviously I think when Wiggins won the
00:47Tour in 2012 that really started a big boom for cycling in the UK and you can see that with
00:54the amount of riders coming through now. Oscar Onley still there. Onley is moving at the moment
01:02into the top four in the Tour de France. Obviously climbing is a big strength but I don't know yet
01:11whether how I perform on these longer climbs compared to these top guys. You can afford to
01:18follow Pog with 1k to go but if he goes with 10k to go then it's a different story and Pogaccia
01:25and Vingegaard's not really the guys I'm racing against. Onley is on his limit right now.
01:32Onley is in the cars as he tries to stay.
01:41A lot of pain. It's really really hard to try and follow Pogaccia but I mean just to race against
01:48these guys but to also be competing against them and it's something that yeah like I said it really
01:54excites me and I don't feel any pressure because I know that I'm it's very unlikely for me to beat
02:01these guys but I just have to enjoy what I'm doing and yeah just see where I end up.
02:07Big acceleration from Sepkus. Oscar Onley goes with him.
02:13For me it feels like there's a lot of attention on me because I'm not really used to
02:18anything like this before. It's natural that I'm a bit of the underdog or the
02:24yeah the rider in the in the shadows. The plan still stays the same and yeah we really just have
02:29to see how it goes each day because I'm also realistic and I know that there's a good chance that
02:35I have a bad day or I'm just not at the level of these top guys on different stages and if that's
02:41the case then we then we go back to the original plan and try to lose a bit more time and try and
02:47get in some more breakaways but for now and just keep doing what I'm doing and yeah just try to get
02:53results where I can't get results where I can.
