00:09You're the only rider in this peloton who did Giro and Tour before.
00:14You didn't really come for winning La Vuelta, realistically, now?
00:20We'll see, I mean, yeah, the race is definitely more open now than it was.
00:27Unfortunately, you never want to see a rider like Pogacar go out, especially when he's leading the race.
00:33But I think it'll be a really exciting battle.
00:37And for myself, I'm just trying to stay calm and see how I feel each day.
00:44And there's other riders that so far have shown they're really strong, but I'm still hanging in there.
00:50Looking at the results with all your experience, how many people do you think are likely to win La Vuelta?
00:58Well, it could be a lot. I mean, now the race has a lot less control.
01:05And, yeah, it could be anybody. I mean, this year there's so many hard stages coming that all it takes
01:11is one good day, one bad day.
01:13And things can really change around. There's also a longer TT. So, yeah, it's going to be exciting.
01:20Is it a way to send the less known guys of your team for now, Jürgen Noragen, Ben Tellet, ahead?
01:29Yeah, for sure. We'll see how they feel today. But, yeah, I think the break can make it pretty far
01:36today.
01:38You're right.
