00:00Mathieu, your team didn't have the success you expected for different reasons, but you
00:07take this win on the very last day, age 18, is that the way to handle the pressure?
00:12Yeah, I mean, it feels really good, I think we've had quite a lot of setbacks this week
00:17and I think to finish it off like this has just made everyone's day, so yeah, it's been
00:22brilliant.
00:23This morning you knew that you had to be in the breakaway for winning, how come?
00:27Yeah, I think it was just one of those things where we looked at the course and as a team
00:32we decided that the best way was to make it really hard and yeah, from the start we just
00:36kept firing guys up the road and yeah, eventually it worked and the breakaway stayed away, so
00:42yeah, it's good.
00:43And you had the advantage of the number, was that important for staying away?
00:48Yeah, I think especially on the flash passes today, you just needed the guys there, but
00:55I think they all kind of did their part and we got close to being caught sometimes, but
01:02we kept being thorough with it and kept pulling through and it worked really well.
01:07Winning so young on the 8th day of racing, which is new to you, does it show that you
01:13are ready for the World Tour?
01:16I guess so, I mean I think today, I woke up this morning and I told the coaches this is,
01:21I woke up with probably the best feeling that I've had all week, so yeah, I think it's
01:25nice to have such good legs at the end of a long, hard racing week, but yeah, hopefully
01:31it translates onto something in the future.
01:34All the best for your career, you have started well.
01:36Thank you.
01:37Yeah, I know.
01:38This time it's done, you have won the Giro Next Gen, is it too early to realize?
01:42Oh, it's incredible, my team did incredible work at the CF, I don't know how to thank
01:49them, but they did 99% of the time, the work, I did nothing and yeah, it's crazy, I have
01:57no words for this.
01:58Have you been worried sometimes with the riders who were in the breakaway?
02:02Yeah, for sure, if I didn't have my team, yeah, it was probably gone, the jersey, my
02:10team did so great work.
02:13In the last kilometres, last 10 kilometres, you were at the front of the bunch, not your
02:19team.
02:20What did you have in mind at that time?
02:21Yeah, I needed to, yeah, Quixapul told me if I keep riding, because they wanted to go
02:31for the stage win, and as I say for the GC, of course, I need to pull sometimes, I can't
02:40do, yeah, my team can't do everything, but sometimes you need to do it on yourself, but
02:48my team did everything.
02:50You are the youngest winner of the Giro Next Gen so far, but it looks like you will stay
02:56in the under 23 category next year, so you have another chance next year to confirm your
03:01win.
03:02Would you like to come back?
03:03Yeah, of course, I will come back for sure, that's one thing that I am sure about, that
03:10I will come back next year.
03:12You said in an interview that the Stelvio is your favourite climb, if the race has the
03:18Stelvio, will you come back?
03:20For sure, but without Stelvio, I will also come back.
03:24Thank you very much, well done.
03:26Pablo, one week ago, did you think you would be here on the final podium?
03:31It's difficult to imagine, but I know that I had good legs, but always it's difficult
03:38to be on the podium, I fight too much, I would like to be in the first position, but Jarno
03:45was very strong, so I think it's a very good result and I am very happy.
03:50In which stages have you felt the best?
03:54In the stage number 6, I feel very good legs, I was very close to Jarno, but he was stronger,
04:06but I feel very, very good.
04:08And you have attacked him, you are the only rider who has attacked the leader, are you
04:12proud of that?
04:14Yes, I am the only rider that I have attacked the leader in one climb, I was feeling good,
04:22I wanted to win the stage, so I attacked, but it was not possible.
04:29Your first year, how do you see your future after that?
04:34It's my first year, I have to take too much experience, but I think I am improving very
04:41well, so the next year I will go to win more races and for sure I will be very strong.
04:50I will train too much to be there.
04:53And after this year, a professional?
04:57I don't know, it's my dream to be a professional rider, but I know it's very difficult and
05:05I am going to fight very hard to stay in the WorldTour team, but for sure I will fight
05:16and I will do too much training to be there.
05:20It was a tense final, you had to be two spots ahead of Mathis Rondel, tell us how it happened.
05:29Yes, all the day he was on my wheel, I was also watching where he was and in the final
05:37I put my sprint mode and I could pass him just 50 meters before the finish line, closer
05:44than ever.
05:46Before that, there was Leo Bisiot in the breakaway, were you worried that he would take the third
05:52spot and whatever you would do with Rondel, it was him?
05:55Yes, I know that, but the sprinter teams and the leader team was pushing hard and the difference
06:02was not too high and we were patient in the bunch and we could pass him.
06:10It looks like a big achievement for you to make the podium of Giro Next Gen.
06:16How do you see your future?
06:17I don't know, it was a really good team effort all week and we could make it in the final,
06:25be in the podium and let's see what is going on in the future.
06:31Thank you.
06:32Paul, this is a stage that you could win, have you thought sometimes that you could
06:37win it?
06:38Yes, today I was feeling very strong, it was a good stage for me, really punchy and a small
06:46bunch sprint normally, but unfortunately the breakaway goes to the finish, it was a very
06:51strong breakaway and it was too hard to control with the team.
06:55We had a bit of help but it was not possible to come back and at the end I came back home
07:02with the Maglia Rosa and a two-stage win, so I'm very happy about the team performance
07:06for this weekend.
07:08Is that enough, two-stage win?
07:10Is that encouraging for your future?
07:12Yes, I'm very happy about the two-stage victories, my team helped me a lot for it, I think we
07:19did a very great stage race there and we will come back better next year with another team.
07:29We are only 50km away from Imola where Julien Alaphilippe won the World Championship for
07:34the first time.
07:36Today some sports websites, not cycling websites, say that we have found a successor of Julien
07:42Alaphilippe in Paul Magnié, do you agree with that?
07:46Yes, it can be good to become like Julien Alaphilippe, I think we don't really have
07:52the same profile of a rider but if I can have the same career as him I will be very proud
07:58of it for sure.
08:00There is at least one race in Italy that he won and you can win and it's Milan-Sanremo,
08:05will that be your target in the future?
08:06Yes, in the future I think it's the Monuments which suit me the best, for sure it's a really
08:13long race and I will have to progress a lot to be able to win this race one day but I
08:20dream about it and I will try to do it one day.
08:23Bonne chance.
08:24Merci.
08:25Lorenzo, you were wearing the Maglia Arzura but it was not yours, how did you make it
08:30yours?
08:31Yesterday and today I wore it because I was second but today I gave it my 100% for taking
08:41this jersey so I can't do it without my teammates because in the first breakaway of today we
08:50were in third, three guys, so I really say thank you to them because they helped me to
08:59reach this goal and wear this jersey now so I need to really say thank you to them.
09:11Age 19 and you go home with a distinctive jersey, how much can this help you to build
09:16your cycling career?
09:20Now I am really happy and I will see how to do it but now I am focused for the Italian
09:27championship and after that I think I will rest some days before to restart the preparation
09:36for Valle d'Aosta.
09:39When you see those reserve teams of the WorldTour here like Wismar, like Sudal Quick-Step, does
09:46it give you more will to enter that world?
09:51Yes, I race two times with the pros this year so I prefer to race with them because it's
10:01more comfortable for me because they just go more fast than the other guys but it's
10:11always really happy to race with them so it's good.
10:16Boca Lupo.
10:17Thank you.
10:18Froyan, it's done.
10:20Are you satisfied?
10:22Yes, finally.
10:24We finished the last stage.
10:26Two jerseys out of the five that were in pairs so I would say it was a great job.
10:32We are also fifth and seventh overall so we can say we are very satisfied.
10:38The level, as I said, is really high so we can be happy with our performances.
10:44Today you could only play in defence but instead you went on the attack.
10:48What did you have in mind?
10:50Yes, it was the last stage, the last chance to try to do something.
10:56I tried to get into a breakaway with my other two teammates.
11:00The problem is that they noticed it from behind.
11:04I tried to catch them by surprise but I couldn't.
11:06But it's ok.
11:08The important thing is to have kept the jersey for the GPM race and I'm satisfied with that.
11:12Do you think that this top ten and this jersey will help you to become one of the best professionals?
11:20Yes, definitely.
11:22The next gen race is a very important showcase.
11:24The teams really pay a lot of attention to this type of race so it will definitely help me a lot.
