00:00 I think it's a very nice route. It seems very, very hard.
00:02 And yeah, I think it suits me quite well.
00:05 So I'm already looking forward to it.
00:08 What is the most important stage for you?
00:13 I don't think there's like one.
00:15 Of course, there is like, but not only one decisive stage.
00:18 I think it's more like there's the gravel stage and the two time trials.
00:22 And then, yeah, some super hard mountain stages as well.
00:25 So I think it's more everything that will decide it next year.
00:30 How do you feel about the climb above 2000 meters?
00:34 Are you worried about it?
00:35 I mean, normally I'm quite good in the altitude.
00:40 So actually, I'm looking forward to it.
00:42 I mean, I never tried 2800 meters, so that's a new experience for me.
00:47 But yeah, I'm still looking forward to it.
00:51 Jonas, next year is it possible to run Vuelta again?
00:53 Maybe. We'll see.
00:57 Depends what me and the team will talk about and what the plans will be.
01:03 It's a good experience this year?
01:06 What? Sorry?
01:07 Tour and Vuelta, is it a good experience for you?
01:09 Yeah, for sure.
01:11 I mean, I'm happy.
01:14 I was happy to be there.
01:15 And yeah, it was a nice race.
01:18 Of course, it was not so nice to get sick there in the start, but I survived.
01:23 And yeah, I still enjoyed it.
01:26 And yeah, for sure, it's not the last time I did it.
01:31 I think it's four of the best riders in the world.
01:34 And if it happens, it will be a super nice fight.
01:37 What do you think of the 2024 Tour de France?
01:42 I think it's a super hard course.
01:44 So yeah, obviously, I'm also looking forward to it.
01:48 Is it harder than this year?
01:50 I would say yes.
01:51 Why?
01:53 Because the third week seems harder than it was this year.
01:58 So yeah, it's always in the third week you can really make a big difference.
02:04 And I think for me, that's also what suits me.
02:07 That I'm always still good in the third week.
02:11 So I think that suits me as well.
02:14 What will you do before the Tour?
02:15 Oh, I don't know yet.
02:17 We haven't made any plans for next year.
02:20 So yeah, I'll have to speak with the team.
02:23 We'll have to make a plan about my races and training camps.
02:28 Do you expect Faddey Pogacar to change his plan towards the Tour
02:34 after what happened this year?
02:35 I mean, I don't know.
02:37 I think...
02:37 If you would be him.
02:39 But he is also a very different rider.
02:42 So it's hard to...
02:43 To do...
02:46 How do you say it?
02:47 Put myself in his shoes.
02:50 If you want a good answer on that, I think you have to ask Faddey.
02:53 First time against Remco Everepoel.
02:55 What do you expect of him?
02:56 If you see the stages?
02:58 Oh, I mean, I've also raced against Remco a few times.
03:03 Also this year in the Vuelta.
03:04 But not in the Tour.
03:05 That's different.
03:06 It's another level.
03:07 It is.
03:09 It's true.
03:09 So yeah, I'm looking forward to racing him.
03:13 And I think it will be a big fight.
03:15 Yeah.
03:16 One last question.
03:17 Now you will have as a contender Primoz Roglic.
03:21 How strange will that be?
03:23 I mean, of course it will be strange.
03:24 So far I've only been riding in the team with him.
03:27 So yeah, it will feel strange to race against him.
03:31 And yeah, try to beat him.
