00:00Stéphane, that was the plan, lead-out man yesterday, sprinter today. How do you feel?
00:05I'm very happy. In the beginning of the week I was not so good, I was a bit sick, but today,
00:16it's so nice. The team helped me today really well, in the end also, it was very crazy.
00:24George and Mathis did a good work to lead me out and in the end I'm the winner.
00:30In the sprint, did you realize that Paul Meunier was not exactly next to you?
00:35I didn't see him in the end. You don't need to be scared in the sprint,
00:44it's everyone to each other and it's nice.
00:49You were used to win in Belgium or the Netherlands, what's the feeling of winning
00:54at the Giro Next Gen in Italy? It's very special, it's my first Giro Next Gen
01:00and it's very nice, I enjoy it here. You come from Gramont, Geraardsbergen,
01:07the heart of Flanders, are you a typical rider for the classics or a typical sprinter?
01:12I think both. How do you see your future?
01:17Hopefully in the classics and maybe some sprints, we will see what the future will bring.
01:23And in the next few days, how much work do you have to do for Yarno Widar to win the whole thing?
01:28Yes, now I'm gonna work for Widar, for Yarno, really hard every day to keep the jersey.
01:36Proficiat, thank you. Yarno, with 50-60 kilometers to go,
01:41it looked on TV like you were having fun, were you having fun really?
01:47It was a little bit boring in the day because it's just one pace, flat, there's nothing going
01:52to happen. It's just between my teammates, a little bit of fun.
01:59It was boring because it was not difficult to defend the jersey, but when did you have in mind
02:04to go for the sprint win today?
02:07Already this morning, I said Stéphane would go for the sprint.
02:12We were really confident that Stéphane could make it in the sprint.
02:16Were you confident? Do you know him very well? Did you know he could beat Paul Magnier?
02:22Yeah, of course I know Stéphane really well because I raced with him for like five years,
02:32so I know he's fast and I know he can beat Magnier.
02:38Tomorrow, back to your terrain, mountain stage, are you looking forward to it? What do you expect?
02:45I'm looking forward of course, but it will be very hard to defend it,
02:50but I will try everything that I can and you will see what the result is.
02:55Have you learned how to open the bottle of Prosecco?
03:02No, not perfectly, but I can.
03:05It's coming, thank you.
03:08Paul, all the top sprinters say you can't always win. Why couldn't you win today?
03:15We did everything for the victory today. We controlled the whole day. It was again a fast day,
03:22but at the end I didn't really arrive to follow my leadout man. It was very, very nervous and
03:31yeah, I had to take a lot of wind in the last kilometers, but it's my fault. The team did
03:36everything well. A bit disappointed, but that's the game and I will try to again win a stage
03:45in the last two days.
03:47Do you like those straight flat finishes as much as the uphill finishes?
03:53Uphill finishes make the sprint a bit more with the legs and a bit less positioning,
03:59so yeah, for sure I prefer a bit when it's a bit uphill, but I also really like when it's
04:03flat also and straight, but yeah, today it didn't work, so...
04:09Thank you.
04:10Florian, do you know the day after if a fall has consequences or not? How did you feel?
04:17No, luckily everything went well. It's just a slip and a small knee injury,
04:22but nothing serious. It could have gone much worse. Today I didn't have any kind of problem.
04:28How did it go in the group? How was the run-up?
04:31Today it was much calmer than yesterday. There was a run-up right away. The sweat got into my head
04:39to pull. It was like that until almost the end. We went easy. Much more
04:46serene than yesterday, for sure.
04:48The most important is the stage tomorrow, the Reggina stage. Do you know it?
04:52Yes, we went there last week, the week before the race. We went there to supervise the
04:57course. We know it's a very hard stage with a lot of obstacles. The final climb is really
05:04very hard and I'm sure it will make a difference for the general classification.
05:09And before the weekend, you'll arrive home. How important is it to have this jersey
05:14arriving home?
05:15Yes, definitely. This morning we left Bergamo, which we can say is my second home,
05:21with the team that leads in those areas. Saturday and Sunday I'll be very close to home
05:27and I'll do my best to bring the jersey to the finish line. I also hope for a good
05:34result in the general classification.
05:36Thank you.
