00:00Can you stay with me?
00:01Good morning.
00:03Felix, I wanted to get a bit of your opinion about the way the race has changed without Tade.
00:09What's your view on it in general, the dynamic?
00:12I mean, obviously Tade is the big leader.
00:17Every race goes to the big favorite and he's in control of the race.
00:23Yeah, he can basically do what he wants.
00:25And then he also, I think, makes the race a bit harder.
00:32Yeah, now it's more open.
00:34I think for us it's, yeah, we are here to fight for the best possible GC, to be on the
00:42podium.
00:44And that's it.
00:45We have still two weeks to go, two really hard weeks to go.
00:48And I think we shouldn't get carried away and just do our thing every day
00:55and don't get distracted by the fact that the GC is a bit more open now.
01:02I guess in one way it's a bit of a river that is not there, but in another way they
01:06put more pressure on you.
01:07Because before UAE dictated the race, now it's up to you to say what you want to do, to do
01:12what you want to do.
01:13Yeah, that's what I, what I'm trying to say.
01:16Like I think for us, yeah, we shouldn't get distracted by the, like it's, yeah.
01:21We have a super strong team here for sure.
01:23I'm also feeling good.
01:25But also, yeah, things like we had a really good first part of the world.
01:28I'm third in GC now.
01:30And, yeah, if I can be on the podium again, I think that's, that's a super good Volta and an
01:37amazing season.
01:39So, yeah, and everything else, like it's, yeah, you can't control that.
01:44Like, yeah, I think we just do our best day today without, how should I say, like, yeah, just, like,
01:53we do what we always did in the past.
01:56Showing up every day and, and don't try to do anything crazy.
02:01Spoke of podium, victory is not outside?
02:03Or after the second place of the Giro, you could dream of victory?
02:06Yeah, I mean, you can, but I don't think that's a helpful thought to have.
02:10Yeah, like I said, I said what I, what I wanted to say.
02:14Thank you very much.
