Cyclism'Actu TV

Demain soir nous saurons qui remportera le Tour d'Italie 2025. Ils sont encore plusieurs à pouvoir rêver de victoire finale même si on semble0 se diriger vers un match à 3 entre Simon Yates (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) et Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates XRG). À l'attaque lors de cette 19ème étape remportée par le Français Nicolas Prodhomme (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) les deux Sud-Américains ont repris une trentaine de secondes à l'Anglais. Une bonne opération pour le maillot rose Del Toro même s'il ne veut pas encore parler de victoire finale.

00:00First of the GC contenders to cross the line, has it been an easier stage to deal with than what you expected?

00:11As a team, we try to be always there. I mean, the guys are amazing.

00:16Without two guys, we're still being so strong and always the big guys are trying me to pass all the confidence that they can.

00:24For me, it's incredible. It's the less that I can do for them. I cannot believe it.

00:29Now, again, I realized, like, I'm this guy and I cannot believe it. It's so big feeling and so big, to be honest.

00:39Tell us about your feelings and your conditions, the two times that Richard Carapaz attacked you.

00:45Yeah, I mean, the first time I think was from Pelizzari also.

00:49I don't remember well, but I think it was something like this. I think it was quite early with the other climb coming.

00:57But I just tried to react. I see a little bit Simon. Simon saw me a little bit and we said, like, who go, no?

01:04And I went. And then Rafa comes also.

01:08And, yeah, then he kept trying as we think a little bit in the team.

01:13And, of course, in the last climb he tried harder and with all the speed he can because it was not so steep.

01:20And, yeah, I have the legs to be with him also.

01:23And just, I mean, if today we play more, like, to secure the bonus on crash and all this, I cannot take more risk now.

01:31But it was incredible, to be honest, today.

01:34Yesterday, even the president of your country encouraged you in her daily message.

01:41Are you driven by all the support you are getting?

01:45It's amazing. I cannot believe it, to be honest.

01:48All the people in my country now start to see the sport and how hard it is.

01:52And it's just incredible.

01:53I think we are coming a little bit, step by step, but now it's incredible, this feeling.

02:01And I cannot believe it's I'm the guy who represents their country.

02:04They need to send another one better, I think.

02:07One more stage to go.

02:09Yeah.

02:10Are you confident? A bit scared?

02:12No, I don't know. The same as I said before.

02:15I think I have the same chances to win than before the Giro.

02:18And I just want to be easy, normal guy.

02:22And as I said yesterday, big dinner, Nutella in the morning and we go again.

02:28Muchisimas gracias.

02:28Gracias.

02:29Isak, tomorrow you will start the decisive stage of the Giro with the pink jersey.

02:35Is it something that can give you an extra motivation to try to keep it in the end?

02:41No, it's the same thing every day.

02:45Next question.

02:48Can you explain your logic to think like that?

02:53You just want to stay calm and relaxed and controlled?

02:57About today or about everything?

03:00No, I think like we will live like almost the same time today.

03:05The teams for sure they will try and as a team we need to be together to be up there always.

03:11And also just be attentive with the good guys and always be smart with the movements and all this.

03:19And also I need to be up there with the top guys.

03:23It was quite good.

03:25Today I'll be able to follow after a hard stage and also the different attacks that the guys did.

03:33Were you surprised that more attacks didn't come earlier on in the stage today?

03:45If I am surprised?

03:50At the first moment, to be honest, yes.

03:52But then with the wind, some of the climbs are half headwind and half tailwind.

03:57And then probably this makes like the...

04:00I mean, if you go solo quite far, it's half headwind, no?

04:04It's half of 50k headwind or something.

04:07And for sure it is you can pay, you know?

04:09And we probably...

04:11That's why some of the riders don't want to try so far.

04:15But also at the end, I think in the last climb, we are not a lot of riders.

04:20And then you can see the damage of the whole days, whole weeks.

04:24And also that was not an easy day in the bunch also.

04:28But now it was quite a good day for us as a team.

04:32And I cannot believe I did, again, a good performance.

04:36I do this just for the guys in the team that work super hard for me.

04:40And yeah, this is the less that I can do for them.

04:42It's incredible.

04:44Press room, stop up.

04:47Isaac, was it more the wind or was it a good work of your teammates

04:52that prevented the attacks that there were so few attacks?

04:58For me, I think it was more about the...

05:02To be calm in the future, maybe.

05:04Because the other day when I crack, I don't know what I did wrong

05:07or what I did good.

05:08But at the end, I was not there.

05:11And for sure was not the best for me.

05:16And today I take a little bit...

05:18Not confident, but I feel more secure about the future, no?

05:23In these biggest stages.

05:24But yeah, it was, I think, a hard day for everybody.

05:27And it was super nice to have these teammates around me,

05:31always super good.

05:32And yeah, be up there with them is amazing.

05:35Press room.

05:39For tomorrow in Finestre, I don't know if you do remember

05:42the historical stage of Chris Fromm there.

05:46Yeah, I see this stage quite, I don't know,

05:50quite a lot of time before.

05:51But yeah, it's an amazing stage, for sure.

05:57It will be magical for me.

05:59And yeah, we will see how it is tomorrow, I think.

06:03Premier.

06:03Hi, Isaac.

06:07Obviously, we saw your team working really hard most of the day,

06:10but there were points where Visma came to the front.

06:12Do you know why they were doing that?

06:14Like, were they upping the pace at all?

06:15Was it going faster?

06:17Probably because they want to make me suffer.

06:20I think the last day I cracked,

06:22probably they will try to do it again.

06:24Also, yeah, with the riders who come from the break,

06:27with the riders they have,

06:28they start to push a little bit early.

06:32But I think after Red Bull,

06:34and then, yeah,

06:36probably they want to put in the,

06:39I don't know,

06:40they saw something and they want to make me suffer.

06:44But at the end,

06:45I was able to be up there now.

06:47And it's quite nice.

06:49Press room.

06:53You didn't answer my question.

06:55So I tried again.

06:57Was it more the wind?

06:58What prevented the attacks?

06:59Or was it more the solid teamwork of your guys?

07:05Okay.

07:06I will tell you it was a win.

07:09The last question from here.

07:14Isaac, I don't know,

07:15if you feel really good tomorrow on the Finestre,

07:17and you get the okay from the team,

07:19could we see you attack alone on the Finestre

07:21to win in the pink?

07:23Or is that too much?

07:28Should be drinks in ours.

07:43Thank you, Isaac.

07:44Congratulations.

07:45Yes, sir.
