00:00Was it a difficult one? Especially with the young guns that are coming, Thornley, only two seconds down?
00:05Yeah, in the end you have to win. It doesn't matter by how big of a margin.
00:10Yes, okay, 24th victory. Probably a few that I lost.
00:16Also by only two seconds or even less, so in the end I'm just super happy to take the win
00:21here.
00:23I'm alone on the podium today, but it's a victory of the whole team
00:27and thanks to the guys also behind me working hard behind the scenes.
00:30Where on the course did you build your victory?
00:33I think over the span of the 32 kilometers really you had to be dialed in from the start.
00:39When it's such a fast time trial you cannot have any costly mistakes
00:44and when it's so fast it's also hard to make a difference.
00:46I had a bit of a difficult moment after the second climb,
00:51but then I also misjudged a few corners there,
00:55but then I was able to get back into the rhythm and so for me that's where I made the
00:58difference.
00:59The second victory of your new team, Tudor, in a Grand Tour after Marco Brenner.
01:03How big is that for you guys?
01:05Yeah, I think it's huge. It was super good to see Marco winning.
01:10We are roommates on this Vuelta, so I think it's a pretty good outcome for our room.
01:15But as I said, we stand a load on the podium, but I can assure you there is so many
01:19people working hard behind the scenes,
01:21especially also on the time trial side. We have an innovation team that is working hard together with our partners.
01:27And so I really, really want to thank to all of them and for sure also to all these people
01:31who got me back on track after my injury in February.
01:35So yeah, I like to share this victory with many people.
