Tour d'Italie 2023 - Primoz Roglic in tears : "It's a hell of a time to live after all the problems I've known"
Quelles émotions ! Quel scénario ! Quel coureur ! Cette 20e étape du Tour d'Italie 2023 restera gravée dans l'histoire du cyclisme. Presque de 3 ans après la désillusion de la Plache des Belles Filles, la roue a tourné pour Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), qui a renversé le Giro sur cet ultime chrono. Et comme avec le Slovène rien n'est simple, le scénario même de cette 20e étape était complétement fou. Alors qu'il commençait à prendre le dessus sur - l'ancien - maillot rose Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers), Roglic subit un problème mécanique qui lui fait perdre près de 10 secondes. Mais, survolté par une foule slovène complètement acquise à sa cause, il réussit à faire trois derniers kilomètres stratosphériques pour remporter cette étape et ce Giro, détrônant Thomas de 14 secondes.

00:00 Primoz, by 14 seconds it looks like you are the winner of the Giro d'Italia.
00:05 How do you feel?
00:07 Just something amazing. I mean, it's not at the end about the win itself, but about the people and the energy here.
00:18 So, yeah, incredible. Really moments to live and to remember.
00:23 You have had a mechanical problem. Have you feared to lose everything? What happened?
00:28 Yeah, I dropped the chain. I mean, it's part of it. I didn't fear at all. I put it back and I restarted. So, yeah, I just went there.
00:38 Did you have even more motivation or rage after that?
00:41 Yeah, I mean, for sure I don't want that this thing happens, but like I said, I put the chain back on and restarted.
00:51 How much did you feel the help of the crowd?
00:53 Yeah, I mean, I had the legs and the people, they gave me extra watts. So, we're just flying, enjoying.
01:06 What do you expect tomorrow in Rome? What kind of party do you expect tomorrow?
01:12 Tomorrow, the end of the Giro in Rome. What do you expect?
01:16 Yeah, one more day to go. One more focus, because I think the lap is quite hard, technical.
01:26 So, yeah, it's not over till it's not finished, but it looks good.
01:31 Thank you.
01:32 Thank you.
01:33 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:36 You have no voice, because you didn't see.
01:40 You know how I am. My head is down, you see.
01:45 I'm serious.

02:23 We was back in the Malle Rosa, four years later. Is it the best day to take it back and is it the best place to take it back?
02:32 For sure. Yeah, I mean, a long time no see, but yeah, we'll just remember that for the rest of my life.
02:45 In the meantime, you have lost one Giro, you have lost the Tour de France in the same condition you win here today. Is this a revenge?
02:55 Yeah, I mean, in life happens a lot of things. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But today I'm on the right side and just enjoying it.
03:08 Is it destiny?
03:10 Ah, yeah, destiny up, destiny down, but I won today, so I'm proud and super happy. Like I said, the end was not even about the result.
03:24 When I started the day today, I just said to myself, I mean, to give the people hope and everything.
03:32 And I will just put everything on the road and enjoy every kilometre of it. And I did. So yeah, really, really beautiful.
03:40 Congratulations.
03:41 Thank you.
03:42 That's it.
03:46 Now your spot. Not the end. You have to get your spot outside.
03:53 And what is this one?
