00:00We're waiting for this weekend in the Pyrenees. You couldn't have hoped for a better Saturday and Sunday. Two stages, two victories.
00:07I would never have imagined this kind of outcome after the second week in the beginning.
00:15I'm super happy with my shape. Also today was super hot and it was a really hard day.
00:22Usually I always struggle with the heat and today the team did a super good job with cooling me down and everything.
00:29It was an incredible day.
00:32Clearly you're inspired by the Pyrenees. Half of your stage victories have been here in the Pyrenees.
00:37Yes, a lot of stage victories in the Pyrenees indeed. I don't know, somehow I like them and they like me back.
00:47I'm pretty satisfied with that. Let's keep it that way.
00:51Were you worried about the tactics of Wismali Zabajk? They decided to make the race really hard today.
00:57Yes, they decided to control today and make a hard pace on the climbs.
01:02I was never worried. I just keep my mind in keeping myself cool and hydrating and eating enough.
01:13When we came to the bottom of the last climb, I was at the limit a little bit when Jonas tried to drop me.
01:22I could see that he was also starting to suffer a bit.
01:28When he tried to drop me the last time, I saw that he didn't have the legs to go to the top.
01:36I tried my own, but it was super tough in the final.
01:41It paid off. The advantage now is over three minutes on Jonas. It's looking really good.
01:47Now it's really looking good. I was saying this already when it was 1 minute 14.
01:53Now it's a really good, comfortable lead. We just need to keep focused the last six days.
01:59Let's keep this mentality like we have now and let's go to the next week.
02:08Mentally, it's important for you to get to the rest day with an empty mind?
02:13For sure, I'm looking forward to the rest day. I hope we will have a good ride with the boys.
02:22Maybe stop for a good coffee or something. Then we can reset a little bit, not too much.
02:30We go full gas for the final week then.
02:33Congratulations.
02:34Thank you.
02:43You're welcome.
