00:00Satrapati Shvi Shirojeev Horovski!
00:05Horovat Mataki!
00:09Join me for a countdown!
00:1210, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, on the mark!
00:22Get set!
00:30The final team!
00:47The first couple days, they were really, really hard.
00:51The two stages that I won, they were really hard, but my team did a lot of work for me.
00:55They helped me a lot, and I managed to finish it off.
00:58The last couple days has just been about defending.
01:02But again, my team did an absolutely amazing job.
01:06And then we won the last two stages again with two other different riders,
01:09so that just goes to show how strong our team is.
01:13But yeah, it's been four absolutely incredible days.
01:17I couldn't imagine how amazing the Indian people would be,
01:21and how amazing this race would be, so I'm very happy to have won this race.
01:26I think it's more than ready to go another level up.
01:30The infrastructure that this race had, and the support this had,
01:35and the amount of people working this race is bigger than any race I've ever seen,
01:41or been a part of.
01:42So yeah, for sure, I think this race can go bigger.
01:45And yeah, if it does, and even if it doesn't, I'm definitely going to come back next year.
01:51Just to go up another level, I think the race, I think the race can definitely go to the 2.1 level.
01:59You definitely have the infrastructure to do it.
02:04So if it goes up another level, then you're going to get bigger teams coming here.
02:08You'll get, yeah, it'll be more followings, more good riders, and it's going to make it a much more interesting race to follow.
02:18Luke, you are the second KV here to win after the ODI series,
02:25which has been won by the cricket team.
02:26What do you predict for the T20 series?
02:29Oh, surely India's got us bad.
02:32Yeah, I always support the New Zealand team, but the black caps, but yeah, we'll have to see.
02:38Yeah, I mean, it'll be great.
02:40I think cycling in Asia is growing at such a big rate at the moment.
02:45That's one of the reasons I started racing in Asia, because I think the racing here is amazing.
02:52Yeah, I would love to see more races in India.
02:56As I said, the fans have been absolutely amazing.
02:59And I think if we can get more people here, we can inspire more people,
03:03and maybe in a few years we can have more Indian cyclists in the peloton, which will be amazing.
