00:00Red Bull, so the little group for entering the breakaway, it's the decision of the other
00:06riders, one of the other teams, for us the breakaway is perfect.
00:11Everything is calm inside the team, even the team now is leader since two weeks and we
00:18are in the third week.
00:19The important is the next Sunday, the next Sunday it's important to remain with the Yellow
00:25Jersey.
00:26This is the work, work, work and focus and low level and work, respect the rivals and
00:32continue in this line.
00:33All the best.
00:34Thank you so much.
00:35We see that Adam is separated from the team, why is that?
00:39We see that Adam is separated from the team when he came and when he left, why is that?
00:43But it's for the prudence with the Aso, it remains the new rules of the max every moment
00:51and for this it's don't take the risk, it's a little problem but no COVID.
00:57Is he sick?
00:58No, it's the head but it's for the heart.
01:01Ok, so he doesn't have COVID.
01:03Thank you.
01:04Thank you.
01:05Tomorrow, our experts are talking about, that should be potentially a good stage for Taddei
01:10Pogacar, what kind of a firework should we expect from UAE tomorrow?
01:14It's one of the stages in my opinion to the breakaway, it's complicated to the breakaway
01:20with a lot of riders entering in this breakaway, it's important for the riders to have maybe
01:28no entering in the classification and maybe not have the space in the sprint, this type
01:33of riders is the, in my opinion, the two or three days to try to enter in the breakaway
01:39and try to win.
01:40Do you agree with our experts that it's better for Pogacar than it is for Vingegaard?
01:45Depending on the level, every other day for example in the Massif Central it's better
01:49for Jonas, yesterday it's better for Taddei, cross the finger for better for us.
01:55How confident do you feel in the team going into week three?
01:58It's complicated for all, obviously the last week is more complicated and after arriving
02:03the tired, arriving the hot moment and it's not the Paris, it's the time trial complicated
02:10and this is really important this week with this really hard.
