So, I think he will make a very good uh performance. He believe in him and looks very ready. And what do you prefer to wear the Solar jersey or your national Belgian jersey? The most beautiful jersey is of course the national jersey of Belgium, but it’s a nice experience to wear the polka dot jersey to the France. Everybody knows to the front important grades and if you can work a special jersey, it’s always a nice bonus. So now you lose it. Maybe you’re going to have it back. No. Yeah, of course I lose the jersey, but you never know. In the next days, maybe uh Daddy gives it back to me. We will see. [Music] [Music] [Music] today. is the first uh GC day you know because uh I think the the leader of the teams they will test themsel and they see more or less where they are uh for us of course today and also Zo uh they’re interesting is not really technical uh let’s say that the beginning is a bit technical in the city center and also in the end because we do a loop and we come back but Of course, uh it will be the first uh test day.

[Music] Oh yeah, I’m uh I’m super happy with how I rode today to be 16 seconds behind the world champion, Olympic champion. The best time is probably right now in the world. So I’m super super happy to be yeah second place today or or third I but yeah 16 seconds behind Rimco and uh gain time on the on the GC and yeah I mean uh lose a little bit to Ramco but again gain on the others so I’m super super happy and proud on first 40 kilometers here uh at kilometer 55 uh cobblestone through the town a bit narrow with traffic islands And here uh just after fit zone another passing through the village.
