00:00Tadej, can you take us through, first of all, the attack and then the way Jonas came back?

00:09Yeah, it was a very good day.

00:12Our team did a super good job.

00:15I felt good on Puma Re, I tried to go there with the attack, but then Jonas came really

00:23good on the second climb, and then we went together to the finish, but yeah, we can see

00:30that now we can all say that it's a fair fight, that he's in top shape.

00:37He beat me really, really good on the line, I did a pretty good sprint after that kind

00:42of stage, so it was a really tough day, but I enjoyed it, and it was a really beautiful

00:47day out there, and yeah, let's continue the tour like this.

00:51How do you explain that Jonas managed to come back?

00:53You had 30, 35 seconds on him, did you have any issues?

00:57Well, on the downhill I felt pretty good until one corner, my bike went really sideways,

01:06but then I was maybe spending too much energy before the start of the second climb, but

01:15I still went good, but yeah, Jonas went better on the second climb, and then I waited for

01:23him just to, because I knew that in any case he would come back even after the top, so

01:31I tried to recover a bit, take the bonus seconds, and try to play for the sprint in the end,

01:36but yeah, he was really strong today, and good day for him, and good day for me also.

01:42I know it's hard to answer, but would you say that today you lost a psychological battle?

01:49I don't think so, I think, yeah, we matched each other pretty well, I beat him on the

01:56first climb, he came back on the second climb, then we went together, and OK, he won the

02:02sprint, chapeau to him for the victory, but yeah, I think we can see that we are pretty

02:08matched, and yeah, I need to keep this gap that I have, and it's a pretty good, solid

02:18way to go to the Pyrenees.

02:20More than ever, you feel it's going to be a battle until Monaco?

02:23Yeah, I think so, let's see the Pyrenees, how it's going to be, it's different racing

02:30than today, today we tried from long shot, but in Pyrenees it's bigger climbs, different

02:37style of racing, I'm more prepared for that kind of racing than what was today, so yeah,

02:44the training preparation was more for bigger climbs, so let's see how I do in Pyrenees,

02:51but I think we have a really strong team, and we can go pretty confident.

02:55Thanks.

02:56Thank you.
