00:00He's waiting for a long transfer.
00:15Today was the plan to keep it safe, keep hydrated, good nutrition because it was a long and hard day.
00:23And then keep me safe in the final with the guys, they did a super good job.
00:39And yeah, the guys did a super good job leading me into the final 5-4-3k.
00:45And then it was all about instincts.
00:48I didn't know that it was going to be so, so hard final and it actually suited me quite well.
00:54And then when Wout went, I did not hesitate. I went immediately after him, but he opened a gap too
01:01quickly.
01:01And yeah, I tried to follow and then recover and maybe I should commit.
01:10But then I think I would still be in checkmate and wouldn't be possible to win.
01:16But yeah, I gave it a go today really good. And yeah, looking forward for another chance tomorrow.
01:23Yes.
01:24I want to know if in the final, in the end of the game, Baner had attacked another player,
01:34he would have been able to win.
01:35Or the fact that he was in the run of the team, he would have been able to win.
01:43And then Baner's attack and you followed him. But if it weren't, another rider would have you followed him?
01:50Good. This is a good question. Yeah. I didn't think about it, but I don't know. The Pan switch rider.
01:59But for sure when Wout goes, you have to react immediately. You know, it's a, it happened so many times
02:05when he goes.
02:06Because it's the, it's a 99% winning move. And yeah, I think for Wout you always have to follow.
02:17And if he's any other rider, yeah, you, sometimes you can, like in one second, you assess the situation of
02:27who it is.
02:28And then you, you always have to react really fast in your mind, who it is and who you have
02:34to follow.
02:34And who, who you think is capable to, to come to finish like this. And today, Wout, certainly, if I
02:41don't follow, I think he can, he would win the stage.
03:04Do you think that keeping your jersey to the end of these first days is going to make a difference
03:09on how you approach the race?
03:11Yeah, I was, I was also mentally ready to lose the red jersey today. Ethan Hayter was really smart in
03:19breakaway.
03:19He got, he got six seconds, which put him in red jersey. So I was already there. I was okay.
03:28I lose the jersey today. No worries.
03:30And we go with tomorrow with the world champion kid. Would be nice also. But now, yeah, tomorrow is a
03:37bit different scenario in red jersey, I think.
03:41And he's already climbing. So yeah, maybe, yeah, we will have to, every day we will have to assess what
03:52we have to do in the middle of the stage.
03:54If it's worth to keep pushing it for the red jersey or not. But I think the next two days
04:00is good, good chances for us again.
04:03And we can keep, maybe we can keep the jersey for the next two days and maybe go for another
04:10stage.
04:12Hello, David. I'd like to ask if, after the stage of today, who was in Madden Mountain, you are thinking
04:32of maintaining the leadership until the end or for another? Or not?
04:37No, I don't, yeah. You never, when you have the, the leader jersey, you always appreciate it. And you go
04:44from moment to moment with, you wear it with, with an honor.
04:49But yeah, sometimes in a Grand Tour it comes that there is no chance to keep it. And I think
04:55also here is still big chance that it happens someday like this. So yeah, I'm not, I don't think,
05:05any rider was thinking like this in the past, to have, to try to keep the jersey all the way
05:12to the finish. But yeah, in the Giro, I, when I put on the pink jersey,
05:18I keep it until the end from stage two. So yeah, it's not the goal, but you never know. You
05:25never know. Maybe I lose tomorrow.
05:27Maybe I could lose it today or, or the next days, you never know.
05:47There was a lot of talks about a senior with the influencer yesterday on the podium. Do you have any
05:52thoughts on that?
05:53Which influencer?
05:54Ah, who came back on the podium with a...
06:01I don't know. I don't know about you.
06:11I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Sorry.
06:19It's good.
06:20I don't know about you.
06:21Yeah.
06:21Can you have a problem?
