00:00Yes, we spend a lot of time on this course.
00:03Yet, I think that the French had a bigger
00:07advantage on this type of water, because they were growing up
00:10with this style of water.
00:11So it's not the course, but it's the type of water
00:14that we paddle here that I think it's really
00:17suitable for him, for Nico, and Camille, and Marjorie, for sure.
00:22They're all really fast.
00:23We try to adapt, and we try to also make
00:27some changes on my boat, so that could
00:30be a little bit smaller in the back,
00:32and try to emulate some of his move.
00:36But we saw today how confident he was on the first move.
00:40I didn't even think to go direct on 5, 6, 7.
00:44He did it two times very well, so I
00:48think that I will need more time here for the next races to come.
00:53And yet, the work done really paid off,
00:57and I'm super happy about it.
