00:00As for the prize of combativeness, it's the reward of several days before the race.

00:07Yes, it's a reward, I don't know, it's not really what we're chasing,

00:12but it's the proof that we're actors and that we don't sit idly by

00:18and that we try to weigh on our Tour de France.

00:21How do you explain that on a stage like today,

00:24a priori for sprinters, it's almost impossible to win when you try to escape?

00:31Well, the Profit was injured at the beginning,

00:34so it was really the best place to take a step back and make the race difficult.

00:39But the fact that there were only four of us in the end condemned us a little.

00:43But there was a real battle at the beginning.

00:45Already when I arrived on the line and I saw that at ten minutes from the start

00:48there were already guys on the line, it meant that there were candidates to escape.

00:52And we saw the movement at the beginning and in the end there were only four of us.

00:55It's a bit of a shame, but it's part of the thing.

00:59But the more the fatigue settles, and for example now that there is a sprinter team that has won a lot,

01:04maybe some teams will want to give them a hard time

01:07and maybe go into the escape instead of collaborating with them behind.

01:11The more we advance in the Tour, the more chances for the bad roaders

01:14and the stages like this to escape, they increase.

01:16So there is a time when it will pay off.

01:18So we'll see you escape again, but in the third week.

01:21Yeah, in the second week, maybe not tomorrow because tomorrow I'll be a little tired.

01:25But yeah, after there are the stages of the Pyrenees.

01:28But yeah, it's sure that in the third week there will be opportunities.

01:31The more the fatigue settles, the greater the opportunities.

01:33Thank you.
