00:00What are the ambitions of your team for this Giro Italia and have they changed after yesterday?
00:06I think yeah no they haven't changed uh from yesterday uh yeah our ambitions here are to fight
00:12for the podium and yeah to go for stages as well so I think today uh is another good opportunity
00:20for that uh but it's a long long Giro like yesterday with Blockhouse uh it was their first
00:27first big mountain test but I think yeah there's gonna be many more hard stages ahead of us so
00:32it's definitely not over. How much could a stage win be a booster for the GC? I think like in
00:40the
00:40Volta last year like it definitely uh yeah it brings the morale up uh just like for the team but
00:46yeah
00:47I think it's definitely possible and we have a really strong uh team for this so I think it'll
00:52definitely help over three weeks. Oliver what do you make in the team of Felix Gall's performance
00:59yesterday? What do I make of it uh excellent very good um we were hoping and assuming that he would
01:07finish on the podium of yesterday's stage but there's obviously a lot of unknowns going into the
01:12stage first mountaintop finish and then we followed in the radio the encouragement of our sports director
01:18Luke Roberts to Felix so we were we knew it was pretty good and uh to be this close to
01:24Jonas Vingegao is
01:26pretty impressive. First Giro for yourself uh what is your discovery of the Giro and what do you think
01:32you can achieve as a team and personally? But personally I'm here to support Felix and Toby so uh
01:39it's more collectively I think I think and I hope we can win a stage in the sprint with
01:43Toby and uh it would be the dream if he could uh put Felix on the final GC podium. What
01:49do you think
01:50you have to do today? Today not much keep him out of trouble onto the the final climb make sure
01:57he's in a
01:57good position and from there it's just just legs and I think it would be quite easy for a rider
02:04like
02:04Felix uh just not to lose not to lose time it's for us quite straightforward today normally.
02:10You are the only one in this peloton who knows how to win in Fermo. How? Yeah it was a
02:17breakaway day
02:17in uh Tireno. I was in a break the day before and uh yeah I made it again the day
02:22after and uh we
02:24didn't get caught by uh by the peloton and I win a win a nice stage in uh Tireno. We
02:29didn't expect you
02:30at the Giro d'Italia why have you decided to come eventually? Yeah I was uh planning at the start
02:35of the
02:36season but I have a bad crash in uh in February and uh until the yeah I think the last
02:42uh 15 days
02:44before the Giro I was not sure to be here and uh yeah the team changed the plan we have
02:48one one guy sick
02:50then they came here and uh yeah with not the shape I was uh expecting but uh yeah I hope
02:56I will find a
02:57super good legs uh for at least one or two days and uh try to fight for the for the
03:02win in a Giro in a stage
03:03I mean same region when where you won a stage of Tireno Adriatico same kind of parkour same issue
03:13yeah I sure hope so I'm gonna give it a give it a go you know it's um it's a
03:18nice stage and hopefully I
03:20have some good legs that's basically what it's it's all about in the end it's uh about some good legs
03:25how many riders do you think are eager to break away today yeah man it could be uh could be
03:32a big
03:32break it could take a while personally I hope we go on the first 8k when it's like uphill and
03:3810 guy group or something you know but it could continue for hours today and um because I think many
03:43guys know today could be a breakaway day you know so it's it's it's hard to to say what's gonna
03:48happen
03:48what are the elements that can make the breakaway win or not ah basically it has to be some some
03:54good
03:54riders uh working well together and um I think if we attack for a long time then it's quite a
04:01relative
04:01short stage and then maybe the gc guys are gonna you know try also you know um you have bora
04:08have a
04:09strong team they can maybe set the galon under pressure so yeah that's why I hope we go go early
04:15get a
04:15a good gap so they won't catch us how do you feel about racing at home today yes will be
04:23amazing
04:24I will have a lot of fans on the way so I push the best you know the course can
04:32you tell us the
04:33secrets of the secrets of the finale ah the secrets of the last uh 3k is uh just don't go
04:41over in the
04:42last uh kicker because then we will will be a long way to go you have had a lot of
04:48work so far with
04:49Paul Manier is it for you today or is it again something that could suit Paul Manier no I think
04:56today will be a breakaway day today you race at home do you think you can do as well as
05:04at
05:04terreno adriatico on your home stage no I think today is is a bit different I'm not so close to
05:10my
05:11to my home of course it's my region but uh we will see we are uh i think pretty tired
05:16after yesterday but
05:18we will see I hope that the sun uh can uh can stay healthy the finish you wear the male
05:24blanca are you
05:25happy about that are you satisfied or not fully satisfied with what you have done yesterday yeah I mean uh
05:31uh yeah now I'm a bit uh a bit more happy yesterday I was a bit uh frustrated because I
05:38think I did some
05:39some mistake but uh yeah this is this jersey is not mine I don't like too much to wear the
05:45jersey of
05:45another but uh now it's like this and we hope uh we hope that we can take the jersey by
05:51ourselves
