00:40 - Congratulations.
00:40 - I need to record the interview.
00:42 - Yeah, you have everything.
00:43 - Yeah, play it.
00:45 It's time to look back.
00:50 What will remain your best memory
00:53 of this Tour de France 2023?
00:55 What will be your worst memory of this tour?
00:57 (soft music)
01:04 (soft music)
01:07 (speaking in foreign language)
01:20 When we look back at the tour,
01:29 what will remain your best memory of this Tour de France?
01:33 (speaking in foreign language)
01:37 (speaking in foreign language)
01:44 - That was a really good moment for me.
01:50 - What was your worst memory of this tour?
01:53 - The worst, yeah, I think when I finished second,
01:57 I was a bit, yeah, a bit nervous
02:00 because my expect that it was a bit better.
02:03 So yeah, when I arrived second, the feeling was not good.
02:08 - Ciccone takes second on the day.
02:10 Jai Hindley has put all the contenders
02:13 of the Tour de France in the shade today.
02:15 - But from there, I think we switched
02:18 and we did another tour and in the end,
02:20 we had what we want, so.
02:22 (speaking in foreign language)
02:27 - I guess that says thank you, Jonas.
02:32 (upbeat music)
02:33 - When we look back, what will be your best memory
02:36 of this Tour de France?
02:37 - Yeah, I think maybe the whole team, actually.
02:42 The way we rode as a team, the way we had a plan,
02:49 but we executed the plan every day.
02:52 - Van Aert, he's decided he doesn't want
02:53 Raphael Maiker to be in control.
02:56 - Yeah, thanks to the team, once again,
02:58 like, that they were so good every day.
03:01 - Van Aert has been the perfect teammate today.
03:05 Now he goes and he will disappear.
03:08 - I don't think I have any bad memories from this tour.
03:13 I mean, I think everything went to our plan
03:17 and yeah, like, I don't really have anything bad to say.
03:27 (speaking in foreign language)
03:31 - And the riders are getting set now
03:37 into the Louvre Palace and in towards the finish.
03:41 Big attack of Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates
03:53 as he goes round that turn.
03:55 - I think he wants to have a bit of fun.
03:56 He gets his moment of glory, the adrenaline pumping.
03:59 He's seven minutes down on GC,
04:02 so there's no real threat for Vindicard.
04:05 And this is just about enjoying every single pedal stroke
04:09 on the Champs-Élysées after a very difficult Tour de France.
04:13 - Pellet's on now at four seconds.
04:15 - What will remain your best memory
04:22 of this Tour de France 2023?
04:25 - I don't know, I think just the atmosphere
04:29 in the bus every day.
04:30 How this team was, I think this will stay
04:40 as the best memory from this Tour de France.
04:43 - What will be your worst memory of this tour?
04:45 - Yeah, just...
04:46 - I'm gone, I'm dead.
04:49 - Probably every time Marc Soler looked me behind
04:55 and he called me "la lose" with his eyes,
04:58 with his scary eyes, and yeah,
04:59 that was the most terrifying moment.
05:02 - Pogacar enjoying one final attack
05:06 in the company of Van Huydenck before they were caught
05:08 by a group of chasers, including Schjelmozer,
05:11 Bettiol and Kwiatkowski.
05:13 But it was all back together again with 32 kilometers to go.
05:16 And though others tried their luck,
05:17 it would come down to the usual bunch sprint.
05:20 Philipsen, clearly the man to beat.
05:22 - It's time to look back at the Tour de France.
05:24 What will be your best memory of the Tour de France?
05:27 - It's hard to pick one.
05:31 If I can win in the green jersey on the Champs-Élysées,
05:33 that would be definitely a great memory.
05:37 But yeah, it's been an amazing tour
05:38 and we can be super proud of ourselves and this achievement.
05:43 - What is your worst memory of the Tour de France?
05:46 - Worst memory?
05:47 Probably somewhere in the mountains
05:49 where it was full gas, a block,
05:52 and the Col de la Lourdes stage.
05:54 - Now the arrival of the Group Eto'o
05:57 with the green jersey, Philipsen.
05:59 - It was my worst day on the bike
06:01 and I was suffering a lot.
06:03 So yeah, I don't look back with a lot of fun
06:08 to this moment.
06:10 - Thank you very much.
06:12 - Two Slovenians together.
06:13 Pogacar kind of slides across the road a little bit.
06:16 He loves a bike race, doesn't he?
06:18 - Philipsen right on the wheel there on the left-hand side.
06:20 Perfect position in fifth wheel.
06:23 - Now we get set.
06:24 They see the finish line.
06:25 On the front is Alpecin de Koenig.
06:28 Moric is tucked in on the wheel.
06:29 Soren Varenskog is there.
06:31 Mathieu van der Poel has got the Asper Philipsen
06:34 locked in, ready.
06:35 Here comes Alexander Kristoff,
06:37 who almost hits the barriers.
06:38 Now Mathieu van der Poel starts to kick.
06:41 Groenewegen leans on the Asper Philipsen.
06:43 And now Pedersen is there as well.
06:46 Look, Dylan Groenewegen is in a perfect position.
06:49 Look at Mathieu van der Poel.
06:51 Gritted teeth, flat out, full gas.
06:54 But Groenewegen gets the kick.
06:56 Groenewegen kicks hard.
06:57 Pedersen through the middle.
06:59 Philipsen trying to get on terms.
07:00 Who's going to take the victory?
07:02 Wow!
07:03 Was it Jasper Philipsen?
07:05 (crowd cheering)
07:16 - On the moment we went full gas.
07:19 My legs felt incredibly good.
07:22 And then Marco Halle did a perfect job with positioning.
07:26 Then he was also there.
07:27 And yeah, I had the wheel of Pedersen.
07:31 And then I just came out of the slipstream
07:33 and I could catch it on the line.
07:35 It's my first tour.
07:36 It was a super nice experience already so far.
07:39 And yeah, to think to win today
07:42 is just an indescribable feeling.
07:44 (soft music)
07:46 - It's a feeling of being proud and happy, of course.
07:52 We're winning it for the second time now
07:55 and it's really amazing.
07:58 And today with all the spectators,
08:01 all the Danish people here was really amazing.
08:04 And they support me as well.
08:06 And I'm really grateful for this.
08:09 - What a moment for Joeri Maes
08:11 taking the biggest win of his career on the Champs-Élysées.
08:14 We were expecting a Belgian winner today,
08:16 but not necessarily this Belgian.
08:18 Philipsen had to settle for second.
08:20 Vingegaard wins his second Tour de France
08:25 by a considerable margin of seven minutes 29.
08:28 The Dane made the difference at the start of this week,
08:30 dominating his rivals in the Alps.
08:32 Pogacar and Adam Yates complete the podium.
08:35 Jasper Philipsen endured a frustrating final week,
08:39 losing out to the breakaway twice
08:41 and coming second today,
08:42 but he still dominated the green jersey competition.
08:45 Ciccone is the first Italian
08:48 to win the mountains classification
08:50 since Claudio Ciappucci in '92.
08:52 He finished ahead of Felix Galle and Vingegaard.
08:54 And for the fourth and final time,
08:58 Pogacar is the best young rider of the Tour.
09:00 Next year, he will no longer be eligible for white,
09:03 but this year he wore it from start to finish.
09:05 (SINGING) I will not have any come down.
