00:35I'm not a I'm not a neo pro. I've been dreaming about this for a very long time
00:41After the classics
00:43Opening classic Flanders classic. I had a very difficult time
00:51We had a verbal agreement with the team about extending the contract and
00:57I got ignored for a long time and was very difficult. I was on a long altitude camp, but
01:05My girlfriend was there she supported me
01:09every day highly pregnant and I was struggling to finish my training schedules, but
01:16I
01:17Changed my mind. I
01:19Talked to I have a bright future and Owen still in cycling. I became a father and was like
01:27blue skies
01:28Only blue skies. I started to feel very good on the bike and coming to this Tour de France with a super motivated team
01:35We have a super good atmosphere in the team
01:39And this is just the you know, the summum of of this atmosphere in the team and

02:05The support I have from from my girlfriend is incredible
02:11She's always there for me. We went nine weeks on an altitude camp. She was highly pregnant
02:19She gave birth to our son at the bottom of the climb in Granada. It's
02:24She is the hero in this story
02:27and
02:29I'm so grateful
02:31that
02:33She made this possible that the team made it possible that I have the super long altitude camp
02:39To prepare this Tour de France. I get a lot of faith for the of the team and also because of the birth of my son
02:46I didn't do any preparation race leading into the Tour de France, but they had the faith that I will be in a good shape
02:52I will be leaving the team
02:55But I'm so happy that we can finish off with the
02:59with the
03:01Maybe the highlight of my career
03:04and
03:06It's a super nice way to
03:09to leave the team and to
03:12for this Tour de France
03:14Again, we will we will celebrate tonight
03:17About the race. It's it's also the victory of experience
03:22You had to be the smartest out there, I think I played it very smart and also I
03:31The team gave me a lot of confidence that
03:34Everybody knew that I had very good legs and that this was a stage that I aimed for let's say in December
03:42already
03:44That I said stage 18 is the stage the only stage I see an opportunity for me to win
03:51I slipped in the breakaway with only one bullet. I
03:56Maybe
03:58Played it a bit dirty with
04:01Showing or trying to show everybody that I was hurting a lot. So I didn't do too much pulls. I follow the moves
04:10And we had a great attack going on there in the final we collaborated very well together
04:17actually until the last kilometer
04:20And I'm so
04:24Indescribable there is still three hard days to come
04:28but I'm
04:30Looking so much forward to go home to my girlfriend and myself
04:34Well deserved. Thank you
