00:00Tadej, you wanted to hit hard early on this final long weekend, I suppose.

00:09Yeah, I'm in the queen stage of Tour de France.

00:14Now I can confirm Bonetti's really scary climb on the race in the training is pretty cool

00:20because you can skip the last kilometre.

00:24But yeah, I'm super happy that I had good legs today.

00:29We were here training for a whole month between Giro and Tour, it was a hard period of time.

00:35Also, it's not easy days because every time you need to go up the climb and I knew this

00:41climb super well.

00:42I was speaking to teammates, we were speaking already in training camp how we want to race

00:49this day and we did it exactly like we said, to the point where I attacked and it went

00:55really, yeah, 100% perfect.

00:59When you saw that Matteo Jorgensen and Kelderman were in the breakaway group, were you expecting

01:04some move, some action from Wismar?

01:06Yeah, we were setting a good pace on Bonetti, so Jonas would maybe try on Bonetti, that

01:16was my initial thought.

01:19But then we saw that they were riding really super fast in the front, so I think their

01:25main goal today was to take the stage, but yeah, I take that.

01:31Yeah, because we saw you turn around quite a bit in the final kilometre, what were you

01:36looking at?

01:37Oh, I was a little bit empty in the last two kilometres.

01:45When I catch Carapaz and Simon Yates, there was already a limit, but then when I see that

01:54Matteo was also losing a bit, I tried to push through and then when I tried to pass him

02:04with the speed a little bit, and then I killed my legs and then I was thinking maybe he come

02:10back and out sprint me or something, so he was really strong today and chapeau to Matteo

02:15and all the breakaway guys today, they were super strong, yeah.

02:19You were pretty good as well, and the gap grows, you gain close to, well over a minute

02:2430 on Jonas and Remco, looking better than ever.

02:30Yeah, looking better than ever, I would say so also.

02:33I'm super happy, it's quite a margin now and tomorrow I must say that I can just enjoy

02:40the stage, we let the breakaway go and maybe we enjoy the roads where we were training

02:46a month before the Tour and where I trained all my career almost, and yeah, let's go and

02:54enjoy tomorrow and hope nothing serious happens.

02:58A 15th stage victory, you're just 20 victories away from equalling the record.

03:03Yeah, I mean this Tour was pretty amazing with the stage wins, and yeah, let's say that

03:13I balanced it out this year with four stages compared to last year I had two, so now I

03:19can say every year is average three stage wins per Tour, so it's pretty crazy and I'm

03:25super proud and happy.

03:27Enjoy the podium, thank you very much.

03:28Thank you so much.
