00:00I'm of course very very relieved that yeah I made it safely through the
00:21finish without losing any time only two punctures one when I went on the bike of
00:29Jan and then actually I also had a puncture in the last 3k only like half a
00:34puncture but I could still finish on on the bike so yeah I think I owe all my
00:39teammates a big big thank you and yeah they did super well today
00:45Jan gave me the bike and yeah it's the perfect perfect fit and the rest of the
00:51guys they kept me in the front the whole time I entered every sector in yeah in
00:56first position and they even closed the gap for me one time when I couldn't
01:00follow so yeah I think that was I owe them big time after today you obviously
01:05dealt with that moment differently or maybe the circumstances were different
01:09from a couple of years ago on the pave stage is that the result of a bit more
01:13experience ah I guess so also the change there with with Jan was really really
01:20quick I didn't even get into the into the cars or it or anything I was always
01:26in the bunch so I think we did it super well and I'm super happy that yeah I
01:32can safely through today obviously dealt with that moment differently or maybe
01:37the circumstances were different from a couple of years ago on the pave stage
01:41is that the result of a bit more experience ah I guess so also the change
01:47there with Jan was really really quick I didn't even get into the into the cars
01:53or it or anything I was always in the bunch so I think we did it super well
01:59and I'm super happy that I can safely through today
02:03you let us know your thoughts on the gravel today, you let us know your thoughts on the gravel today, this morning
02:09gnarly was that stage a difficult tax point all the time yeah it was just a
02:14very very stressful day first of all it was yeah I mean I'm just happy to make
02:21make it through safely and yeah I won't I won't hide that I don't think that this
02:26belongs in the Tour de France I mean it's one thing is how the race is but
02:33like when when you do Strada Bianche it's you know it before but of course I
02:40also know it before here but it's just unnecessary risk to take here
02:44who would you say was the strongest today? today? on the yeah on the gravel sectors
02:51he was the strongest it favored favors him also more than it favors me
02:56especially when it was more loose then a guy with my weight is not really
03:02favorable and that's also when he he got a small gap on me it was like probably
03:09the worst sector in case of the gravel that there was like so loose that's yeah
03:15I was just sliding around to be honest and it was like really hard for me to
03:21control the bike. when when when Matteo and you bridged up to Jonas did you
03:26consider riding with him to open up the gap? well I think he was riding so fast
03:32himself at that point we didn't really we didn't really think about it but yeah
03:37in all situations we we thought about that it was better for us to have more
03:43teammates in case something happens then it's also always better to have
03:47multiple teammates so of course in some kind of way it would be better to to
03:54ride because yeah Primoz and Remco was not there but on the other hand our
04:01goal was to not lose any time and yeah yeah so then it's maybe better to wait
04:07in that case. I know you said that you know this doesn't belong in the tour but
04:12you came across here with a smile on your face it seems almost like you're
04:16enjoying this tour more than the ones where you led in the past. I think it's
04:22yeah I don't know maybe after the crash I yeah I realized what the life what
04:29life is about and yeah it's more about family and living life rather than
04:36cycling so I think in some kind of way I feel less pressure and enjoy it a bit
04:41more. Thank you.
