00:04I mean it's it's amazing that I find my my best legs during this tour
00:15well Remco Ave Nepal now loses the wheel with Del Toro. I think I was a bit
00:23a shame or a bit unfortunate that I had to drop the group I kind of tried to pace myself
00:30to really
00:31have it to really be able to dig deep in the last 8k of the stage and yeah it was
00:36a pretty good
00:37tactic I came quite close to the group in front of me Remco now battling for his third place overall
