Felix Gall Pre-race interview - Stage 17 - Tour de France 2023

  • l’année dernière
The Tour de France 2023 will hold its Grand Départ in the Basque Country, with a first stage in Bilbao on 1st July, and will finish in Paris on 23rd July, on completion of a 3,404-km route that will tackle the difficult slopes of the country’s five mountain ranges. The battle for the Yellow Jersey will witness a decisive and emotional episode on the Puy de Dôme, where a stage finish will be held 35 years after the victory of Denmark’s Johnny Weltz. The return to this legendary climb will be accompanied by the rise in importance of sites that will mark the Tours of the future, such as the Grand Colombier or the Col de la Loze. The sole time-trial on the Tour de France in 2023 will take place over 22 kilometres between Passy and the Combloux ski resort in Haute-Savoie. The sprinters will also have the opportunity to express themselves on finishes in Bordeaux, Limoges, Moulins, before the grand finale on the Champs-Elysées.

00:00 Hello Felix.
00:01 Good morning.
00:02 Felix, we are starting the third week, well you started yesterday already, but what did
00:12 you learn so far about yourself with your new role in the team?
00:16 Well I was, yeah, I think now I'm feeling confident also, yeah, because I have confidence
00:23 in my level.
00:26 I showed the last days that I don't have to be afraid in the final, I can be there with
00:31 the top ten guys and yeah I think that's the biggest lesson, or what I found out for myself
00:40 that I'm able to be quite stable even now in the third week.
00:44 And how to do today then?
00:45 Is it possible to anticipate or it will be complicated because it's about surviving this
00:51 really hard stage?
00:52 Yeah, it depends if UEA wants to take revenge today or not, but either way it will be a
01:01 really hard stage, I will focus more on the final, on the GC, and unless there are some
01:07 big guys going into the breakaway then I obviously have to be there as well, but the focus is
01:14 on the final.
01:16 I mean the final climb is so so difficult.
01:20 And good for you, you think, the characteristic of this one?
01:22 Yeah, I did it once a few years ago in Tour de Lavigny, yeah I hope this time is better
01:28 than the last time.
01:29 Thank you Felix, all the best!
