00:00A few days since the last sprint, what have you done? How have you prepared for today?
00:06I think, yeah, we just took it day by day and tried to help with the other boys where I could.
00:12And then yesterday, yeah, help in the beginning of the stage and then just stay calm a little bit and, yeah,
00:19take it relatively easy if that's possible on a hard day like yesterday.
00:23But, you know, and today we've had a good look over the course again and, yeah, we'll try to give it our best shot again.
00:29Are you excited because it's potentially a sprinter's race?
00:33Yeah, really, because since right now we didn't get so many opportunities.
00:38So I hope today will be a sprint and I hope there will be up there.
00:42Is it to your advantage that there is a curve in the final kilometer?
00:46Not particularly, just like, I think probably we stretch out a bit a bunch in the last meters, but, yeah, I think it's a good chance.
00:54What about this new rule of the yellow card that some of you guys have had one and there is a threat of being kicked out of the race if there is another one?
01:05For sure, you have to think about it and to have it in mind.
01:09But, yeah, on the other side it's just bike racing and I will try to have a go.
01:14Well, you came to the Giro as a stage hunter, but also a lead-out man.
01:19Now that you have your stage win, are you fully a lead-out man?
01:23Yeah, today, yes.
01:26We tried the same already in the first two sprint stages, but the first opportunity I was not there.
01:32And in Napoli it didn't really work out.
01:36So, yeah, in Belgium we say third time maybe the best time.
01:43So we tried today again, yeah.
01:45What can be the difficulties today?
01:47Last corner.
01:49I mean, I can't remember the length of stage, 170 odd k and it can all go wrong in one left-hand turn.
01:57So it's all about that last corner for me.
01:59Where do you have to be at this last corner?
02:03I think top five is okay, but yeah, it depends on who's around you and how the race has gone, but yeah, normally top five.
02:14Can it help to have experience with this corner?
02:18Yeah, a bit of experience and big cojones.
02:29So, yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it depends on how the race has gone, but yeah, it
