earlier after yesterday. What a what a sweet revenge first of all. Yes, but it was uh all right with the heat really hard. Uh and the bunch was quite okay all day but um yeah sometimes he tried for echelons and the the last 60 km I get no uh no drinks anymore so was a bit overheated but uh without the heat was a quite okay day but really nervous especially with Machapula at the front I suppose you you had the time gaps were you worried about those two guys? Well, five minutes in the hall was a lot. So, uh we try to help and also other teams start to help and uh yeah, the pacing was quite high. So, they did well in the front also, but like I say was just hard for the guys in the front and the guys who were pulling and the bench was just nervous. Another great team effort. We saw uh the white jersey right at the front for you chasing hard and that means a lot. H it was really strong. Normally I need to help him but um so he don’t when it’s still wind he don’t feel the legs uh he can move move up easily but all the time it were possibilities to to have echelons uh me and B were also there to uh to let them in again and uh we we tried to protect each other as much as possible but uh thanks to Ramu of course also a word on the the final final sprints on that victory. Uh finally we uh me and B were together here in uh in the tour. First time we were together and I was so uh so much more confident with him uh in front of me. I did a really good job. Uh one moment I thought it was boxed in but I can come out just before 200 m or maybe just after I don’t know anymore. just go all in and uh I’m happy uh I can uh win my uh second stage here this year. Thank you very much.
