00:02Well, I'm feeling pretty good, and next day by day, and we'll try to do our best, especially today.
00:13Yeah, today will be an important stage for you because the arrival is close to your hometown,
00:18so what are the feelings, the emotions to run there?
00:21Well, I think it's very special for me because we are riding on the home street, and I'm from Valdopiade.
00:33I know very well Pianese, and so it's very, very special.
00:42Juliette, we know the Giro is the race of your heart, so how it's going, are you enjoying it?
00:47Yeah, so far it's been a bit rough. I haven't found really my good legs, let's say,
00:52but yeah, I'm still enjoying the Italian roads and the fans.
00:55It's really nice and the views for sure, but I hope today my legs will come back
00:59because, yeah, a small sore, sore throat the last days, but I think I'm better today,
01:04so yeah, I hope I will be back in my normal shape.
01:07Yeah, today could be your day, so do you feel the pressure?
01:10Yeah, for sure I feel a bit the pressure, and I really want to do good for the team as well
01:14because we ride really well together, so I would like to do a good result today.
01:18And looking at today's stage, do you think the uphill finish could create some important gaps in the GSE?
01:24Yeah, for sure, and it's quite a hot stage as well overall today, so I think for sure there will be a lot of gaps.
01:31Thank you so much.
01:32Elisa, today is an important stage in order to define more the GSE. What do you think about it?
01:37Yeah, surely it's a very important stage. It's going to shape again the GSE more than it has been so far.
01:46So, yeah, we are all excited, I think. I can feel the thrill in the peloton, so yeah, let's see.
01:56And what do you think about the uphill finish? Is it comfortable for your team? What are your plans?
02:01My plans are just to ride as fast as possible up there and, yeah, just, yeah, go for it.
02:12In stage 2, you have lost an important member of the team, such Greta Marturano. How are you trying to fix it?
02:19Yeah, there's not a lot that you can do when you lose such an important card like Greta. You just have to, yeah, to refocus and reset.
02:30And it was not only a good rider, but it was also really part of our team. So, yeah, we video called her many times.
02:41We tried to put a smile on her face and, yeah, she, today she sent us a voice note before this race. So, we have still Greta somehow with us.
02:52Thank you so much.
02:54Marlene, the Maglia Rosa is only 13 seconds away.
02:58Yes, I hope today we can grab it.
03:01And looking about today at the uphill finish, what's your team plan? How will you face it?
03:07Yeah, I think we will try to get out most of what we can of this climb and see also what other teams do.
03:16But I think it's a nice opportunity to maybe already do something in the GC and for sure for us to get the pink if we can.
03:26And looking about today's stage, do you think there will be create some important gaps in the GC?
03:30Yeah, yeah, I think with this, like, it's not an easy parkour and then also this climb in the end, it's possible that there will be some cheesy contenders that get gapped.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Thank you. Good luck for today.
03:45Thanks.
03:46Soraya, we know your parents are following you during the Giro. So, is this the boost of energy you need to face those days?
03:53Yeah, of course. I'm feeling really lucky that they can follow me. They are really happy and they support me since the beginning of my career. So, I'm happy that they're here. They are enjoying cycling in general. They are cheering for everyone. So, yeah, it's nice to have with them.
04:10In an interview before the Giro, you told that today's stage was like a goal. You're focusing on it still?
04:17I mean, with my heart, it will be my favourite stage to win. I know it's really hard, but I think as a team we can aim for the victory and, yeah, we are looking for it. It's my home region, my home road. So, yeah, I think as a team we can do a really good race.
04:38Anna, today will be an important stage in order to define more the gaps in the GC. What do you think about it?
04:43Yeah, it's like you say, today's an important day and hopefully I have the good legs because last two days was okay, but not too good. So, for this day you need to have good legs to end good. So, yeah, I'm excited and hopefully it's going well.
05:02You told me before the start of the Giro that a central point for you was the recovery after some stages. How it's going in that way?
05:11Yeah, it's going good. I mean, it's only at the beginning still of the Giro and we had short stages now. Yesterday also was a lot like being in the bunch, so not too hard.
05:23And today is actually the first hard day and long as well. So, it's more important how it's going afterwards and hopefully it's only getting better for me.
05:32So, as a team, how will you face the APL arrival?
05:37Yeah, yesterday was a good day also for the morale of the team with Lorena. I mean, when it's a sprint, you need to put her in position and then you're almost sure.
05:48So, that's always really nice, I must say, to have it like this. And yesterday we were committed to get her over the climb to be able to have a stage victory and that went really well.
05:59So, that's nice. And today I think it's more up to me. So, yeah, trying to be in front, which is not easy.
06:07I mean, the speed was really high last two days. So, I'll try to be there and my teammates will help me in this. And then, yeah, hopefully a breakaway can go out maybe with the teammates. But we have to see.
06:22Thank you so much. Good luck for today.
06:25Shirin, Anna yesterday told me that today to defend the Maglia Rosa, she need the help of the whole team. Maybe you could be the girl that give her the help she needs.
06:35Yeah, I think we can just do that all together. But, yeah, I think it would just be a hard first real GC day. And, yeah, we just have to see where we end up with the team.
06:45So, looking at today, do you think there will be create some important gaps in the GC?
06:50I think so, yes. Of course, like it's a hard climb towards the finish, mountain top finish. So, yeah, I think it would just be a really high pace and that the first gaps will already be created.
07:01Howard, Alex, are you ready for the day?
07:03I think so, yes. So far I've been feeling really good in the Giro and I hope that today will be the same again.
