00:00 (coughing)
00:02 - Demi, congrats, what an achievement.
00:05 Is that the most beautiful day of your career?
00:08 - Pooh, I need to realize this first, I think.
00:11 This was amazing, I mean, so many people
00:15 on the side of the road, I saw my family,
00:17 I saw my friends.
00:18 They gave me a lot of strength today.
00:24 Also Lotte, knowing that she was behind me the whole time.
00:28 It was amazing.
00:30 - What a year for you after the classics.
00:32 Are you living a dream this year?
00:34 - Sorry?
00:35 - What a year for you after the classics.
00:36 Are you living a dream?
00:38 - I think so.
00:39 It's just amazing, I mean,
00:47 you said dreams, you make goals for them,
00:51 and then, yeah, you get a bit nervous before,
00:55 but I have my team behind me,
00:58 and they believe so much in me,
01:00 and that helps so much.
01:02 I mean, this morning, I was a bit nervous,
01:06 and then the whole team said,
01:08 "Okay, Demi, you're already so strong this whole season,
01:11 "you can do this," and yeah,
01:12 they really keep me calm, and that's just so nice.
01:16 They're very important for me.
01:19 And also, yeah, it's already the whole season,
01:24 it's just amazing, and I don't know how I do it,
01:27 but it's incredible.
01:30 - Can you speak also about your tactic today,
01:32 because we saw you playing a bit with Annemiek
01:34 until the last case.
01:35 - Yes, Annemiek went already full gas on the Kodály spin,
01:39 and yeah, I mean, I felt that I was good,
01:44 but I saw no point of attacking there already,
01:46 it was so early, and yeah.
01:49 Then she left a gap on Kasia on the downhill,
01:54 and then I thought, yeah, it's not up to me to close it now.
01:57 I mean, I have Lotte and Marlon behind me,
01:59 so they could come back,
02:00 and that was actually perfect for me,
02:02 because then Marlon set a really nice pace,
02:05 and yeah, Lotte just could hang on the whole time,
02:09 and then it's still not up to me to attack.
02:12 I mean, they also need to get rid of the yellow jersey,
02:15 and at one point, Anna told me on the radio to go
02:19 to make myself ready,
02:21 and then I just went full gas for it,
02:22 and I never looked back.
02:25 And then I heard already pretty fast that I had a gap,
02:29 and yeah, I did not believe that it was getting so fast,
02:34 so big, and yeah, I just kept on pushing,
02:39 and I felt actually great.
02:40 So yeah, the good legs were perfect in time,
02:43 because the beginning of the tour was, yeah,
02:48 I had not the best legs for my feeling,
02:51 also it was so hard the whole time, every day,
02:54 but today I felt super good and super strong,
02:57 and yeah, that was super nice.
03:00 - Thank you very much, congrats.
03:01 - Thanks.
