00:00Romain, congratulations. You couldn't have imagined a better scenario today.

00:07Yes, it's crazy. It's like there are still unexpected moments on the bike.

00:14It was sublime. We attacked the Tour with a lot of spirit.

00:20It's the first time I smile before the start of a Tour de France.

00:24Not doing the GC removes a lot of pressure.

00:27But I'm finally on my own.

00:30Riding without thinking.

00:32It was fabulous. I had the instinct.

00:36I didn't really know the course, but I had the instinct.

00:38I saw a lot of riders suffering.

00:40I felt really good. I knew Franck was very strong in front of me.

00:43I said, let's go. I have nothing to lose.

00:47At worst, I lose 20 minutes and it's over.

00:49I said, let's go.

00:51Franck was really strong. I think it motivated him to come in front of me.

00:54We decided to stay together.

00:57He deserves it as much as I do.

01:00He pulled me on the flat at the end.

01:02He's a great talent.

01:04I don't have the words. I don't realise what's happening.

01:06You had to hold on.

01:08It was crazy. The wind in front of us.

01:10We were going at 46-47 kmph.

01:12The 2x2 route.

01:15It was infernal.

01:18Incredible.

01:20I would never have dreamed of such a scenario.

01:23With a yellow jersey on your shoulders.

01:26It's crazy for your last Tour de France.

01:29It has always been one of my career goals.

01:34Honestly, I was a bit sad.

01:38I was often too close to be let go.

01:43I was really sad.

01:46Today, I had such a great stage.

01:49I really wanted to go all out.

01:51My first goal was to escape.

01:53It's the next round that starts with Franck.

01:55It was good.

01:57I didn't think about it.

01:59Every time I erased my Insta on my bike,

02:01it worked pretty well.

02:03It's because you changed your state of mind

02:05that you could run more freely.

02:08Completely.

02:10I hope to finally discover my true nature on the tarmac.

02:15Romain, bravo.
