00:00How do you feel?
00:02I'm very happy, I can't believe it.
00:04At first I tried for GC, but I was not feeling good for the first days.
00:09So I was a bit disappointed, but I knew that there was still a possibility to grow into the race day by day.
00:18I felt strong yesterday, and today was a day suited for me.
00:24I crashed pretty hard in the first descent, in the beginning of the stage.
00:29It shows you that if you don't give up, you can do more than you think.
00:35In the final climb, you attacked twice, with 9km to go and 3.5km to go. Was that your tactic?
00:42I wanted to wait until the steep part with two gates to go, but I saw that the pace was too low.
00:50And we would be caught by the peloton if we didn't accelerate.
00:53So I was a bit stressed, and I attacked, and luckily only two guys could follow.
00:59And then I thought, if I bluff a bit, because I was also feeling my legs, to go on the steeper part.
01:11And hopefully they drop, and then full gas to the finish, and it worked.
01:16You already have your contract in the World Tour for the coming two years.
01:20With this victory, how do you see your future? Can this victory help you for your future?
01:25Well, I think I showed some really good things this year already.
01:30And I felt like I had to prove it again with the U23 category, because this week was really hard.
01:39And I was a bit scared of the level, because it's incredible how fast they all go uphill.
01:48And to show today that I'm worthy of a pro contract, I'm very happy.
01:55Proficiat!
01:56Thanks.
01:57Jarno, how do you explain that today the breakaway worked?
02:01The breakaway, it's the first time this week, so I think that's the reason.
02:08Did you see it going?
02:10No, I was in the back.
02:12You race a lot at the back?
02:14Yeah, always in the beginning. It's less stressful.
02:19Then you had some information about the front of the race.
02:23Were you aware that the breakaway was staying away?
02:26Well, I don't care if that's staying away or we take them back.
02:34I don't care about that.
02:40The first one was 19 minutes behind me in the GC.
02:48What did you do in the last climb?
02:50Were you watching all your adversaries or were you watching someone in particular?
02:56Just following. It was easy to follow just until the finish line.
03:03That's what I needed to do.
03:05They needed to attack me, but they didn't.
03:08They made it easy for me.
03:11Only one day left. Do you see the overall win now?
03:18In my dreams.
03:20Thank you. Tomorrow in reality.
03:23How much did you like today's stage?
03:25More the flat part than the final hill?
03:28Yeah, I like it a lot.
03:30I had time to rest from yesterday and be ready for tomorrow.
03:35I didn't try for the victory. I know it was too hard and also the breakaway.
03:39I had a lot of advantage before the climb, so I just take it easy.
03:43Ready for tomorrow means stage win or just make sure that you keep the Mallea Rosa?
03:50The first objective was to go for the victory.
03:53If I have the victory, I will have the Mallea Rosa for sure.
03:57But we will have to control if we want again a sprint.
04:01Maybe it will not be a completely budged sprint with the quite hard climb we have in the final circuit.
04:08But we will see how it will go.
04:10How do you feel physically after seven days already?
04:13Seven days is really long.
04:17Yesterday I was really tired after the really queen stage.
04:22But today I feel better.
04:24I had time to recover and I hope tomorrow I will be good again.
04:28Thank you.
04:29Florent, how did this home stage go for you?
04:32It went well. It was long.
04:35Many kilometers of plain.
04:37The breakaway was a little hard to go away.
04:39But after about forty kilometers, I managed to get wide.
04:44In the group we always went quite regularly.
04:47We took the last climb fast.
04:49We were left with about twenty or thirty runners and in the end we sprinted.
04:54Today the objective was to defend the Mallea.
04:57And I would say that the objective has been achieved.
05:00At the beginning of the climb, when you were going very fast,
05:03did you think you could take the breakaway again?
05:06Yes, I didn't know how much advantage they had.
05:09I saw that they had two and a half minutes and four kilometers to go.
05:13So it was already too late to be able to recover the breakaways.
05:19Anyway, we climbed fast.
05:21If we had had less advantage at the beginning of the climb,
05:24we would certainly have taken them.
05:26There is only one stage left.
05:28What are you expecting? What do you want?
05:30Yes, we are getting closer and closer.
05:32There is only one stage left, but it is very promising.
05:34There are many climbs ahead of us tomorrow.
05:37They are all short and steep.
05:39We have to be very careful and make the last effort for the last stage.
05:46Thank you.
