A la veille de la fête nationale belge, c'est le champion national qui s'impose sur la 15e étape ! Déjà vainqueur à deux reprises sur le Tour d'Italie et le Tour d'Espagne, Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates XRG) s'offre, à 34 ans, son premier succès sur le Tour de France. Parti à 43 km de l'arrivée, après la terrible montée du Pas du Sant (2,9 km à 10,2 %), le champion de Belgique a réalisé un véritable numéro en solitaire, malgré une première moitié de course usante pour tous les coureurs. Après la ligne, le Belge a confié que ce scénario n'était pas vraiment prévu pour lui et son équipe.

00:30You did exactly what you needed to do today
00:33Yeah, indeed, I felt super good today
00:35Before the stage, Niels and me were laughing a little bit
00:38that we would go on the break
00:39Suddenly there was a big crash
00:41So I hope everything is okay in the crash
00:42That is sad
00:44We tried to block and wait for the rest
00:45But I kept on attacking
00:47And then I followed one move
00:48And I was in the breakaway
00:49And then on the climb it exploded again
00:53And then on the last climb of the day
00:55I felt really good
00:56I saw the others also, felt really good
00:58But I knew I had to go solo
01:00And at the top of the climb I found my moment
01:03And I felt that I had the legs to keep it until the end
01:05A couple of days ago in Toulouse
01:07You told us that there was no place for freedom for you in UAE
01:12It was all in for Tadej Pogacar
01:14Today you proved it was different
01:16You had your chance
01:17Yeah, correct
01:18But I had the opportunity
01:20I took it and I had the legs to finish it
01:23But of course
01:24I trade my victory directly for yellow with Tadej in Paris
01:29You had time to enjoy
01:31Being on your own until the finish line
01:34What was going through your mind
01:36And how did you celebrate?
01:38Yeah
01:38I knew I was going to be in a very beautiful list
01:41To finally complete my triologie
01:43From the Giro Tour and Vuelta
01:44So I knew I had to enjoy the moment
01:47I kept riding until the finish line
01:48Because I wanted a big gap
01:50To fully enjoy it
01:51And maybe put my bike in the air
01:53After the finish
01:53But I was so happy to win
01:55That I forgot to do it
01:56I knew I was so happy to win
01:57I knew I was so happy to win
01:58I knew I was so happy to win
01:59I knew I was so happy to win
02:00I knew I was so happy to win
