00:00Alvor, back at the Giro, with which kind of ambitions?
00:03Yes, I've been struggling a bit with some sickness, so it was a really bad day for me yesterday,
00:09but today I feel a bit better, so it's still 7 days to go, so I hope for some improvements.
00:16Today is the perfect stage for the sprinters, what do you expect?
00:20I think it's going to be quite a fight for the breakaway, everybody saw that the breakaway
00:26succeed yesterday and not so many people want to use their team to control the race,
00:31so I think it can be quite open, so I hope to be also there.
00:35Today we say the last shall be the first.
00:38Aldo, first of all, what are the impressions of coming back to the Giro?
00:42I mean, it's always nice to race here, it's super warm, the environment is super nice,
00:47the scenery yesterday along the coast was beautiful, but as well it's really hectic,
00:54it's pure chaos, but yeah, that's racing here.
00:57Looking at today's stage, it's the perfect stage for the sprinters like you, what do you expect?
01:03I mean, there is a lot of wind, some wind gusts as well, so I think it's possible for a
01:10breakaway as well.
01:12I'm curious, I don't think it's per se a real sprint and it can be quite a nice stage.
01:18Thank you.
01:20So Cameron, after your 5th place yesterday, what are the first impressions of this Giro?
01:24Sorry?
01:25What are the first impressions of this Giro after, you know, that 5th place yesterday?
01:30Yeah, I mean, this is my first Giro. It was a pretty nice start for the team, we're all pretty
01:36happy with my result yesterday.
01:40I had to start the sprint really early, but it gives a bit of confidence because I was first place
01:44in the sprint until about maybe 100m to go,
01:47so yeah, the confidence is good after yesterday.
01:50Looking at today, it's the perfect stage for the sprinters, what do you expect?
01:54Yeah, we expect a sprint, obviously. I mean, yesterday everyone was really strong. The climbs weren't too heavy yesterday, but
02:00today is even less.
02:02It's completely flat pretty much all day, so yeah, 100% it'll be a sprint and yeah, I think we
02:07feel good for it.
02:09Thank you, grazie.
02:10Alessio, how it feels to be back at the Giro?
02:12Yeah, it's always a good emotion in Italy, so it's my country. I'm very, very happy to be here. We
02:19look forward to race also today in a good stage.
02:22Today is the day for the sprint. Everyone expect you guys go for a sprint, or what do you expect?
02:26Well, I expect, I hope, a bounce sprint. Yesterday was a bit tricky. I hope also with the team that
02:33was finishing with a bounce sprint or maybe with a small group at the end, the breakaway had a better
02:40thing, no?
02:41But today we hope that we can reach a bounce sprint and we sprint for a good result, eh?
02:48Akon, we are still at yesterday at a huge breakaway with your friend Kasper. We didn't know it was your
02:52friend, so can you tell us more about this friendship?
02:55Yeah, it's been a long friendship actually. We are from the same town in Norway, Oslo, and we grew up
03:01racing or riding in the same local club.
03:04So yeah, and he's two years older than me, so I've always looked up to him and he's such a
03:09humble guy. He's really a good friend and always including everybody, so yeah, really a true friend.
03:16We focus on today with the white jersey. What are the goals?
03:19Yeah, of course, we try to keep the jersey. I think it's quite an easy stage, so yeah, we'll see
03:24how the bonus seconds will affect the GC, but yeah, our main goal is to sprint with Tobias, so yeah,
03:31focus on that first of all, foremost.
03:33Thank you. Davide, yesterday's stage was important also to, you know, understand very well your condition of the injury, so
03:41how it went?
03:41Yeah, the race of yesterday was very tricky. The final is not so easy, but we try to do our
03:52job and the sprint, but in the end we miss something and yeah, maybe today is our day. We will
04:04see.
04:04Yeah, looking at today the perfect day for the sprinters. What do you expect also for the other teams? Do
04:09you think someone, of course, could play a sprint after they miss yesterday?
04:13Yeah, I think yes. There are some sprinters and maybe want to arrive in the finish in the sprint, but
04:22I don't know. We never know. The breakaway can go and we can pull for arriving in the sprint, maybe.
04:32Today we expect the wind, because it's going to be a little bit tricky. What do you think?
04:38Yeah, it's maybe today there is some wind in the final, but we see, we see.
05:13We'll be right back to you.
05:13Grazie a tutti.
05:55Grazie a tutti.
