It's been a very difficult Tour,
because physically, |
| 00:00:44 |
00:00:47 |
there were days I wasn't really
where I would have wanted to be, |
| 00:00:48 |
00:00:52 |
and there were other moments
during the race that psychologically, |
| 00:00:53 |
00:00:55 |
like yesterday during the time trial,
for example, |
| 00:00:55 |
00:00:57 |
the references
were not favorable at all |
| 00:00:57 |
00:00:58 |
and feelings were not
favorable either, |
| 00:00:58 |
00:01:00 |
that I had to muster concentration
|
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:04 |
and keep in mind the goal
I set for myself. |
| 00:01:05 |
00:01:10 |
Certain conditions remain. In fact,
his brother Frank was at the finish, |
| 00:01:10 |
00:01:13 |
who had to withdraw
due to a clavicle fracture |
| 00:01:13 |
00:01:17 |
in the famous Pavé stage.
And well, |
| 00:01:17 |
00:01:22 |
we've agreed to meet again
next year in the Tour. |
| 00:01:22 |
00:01:26 |
When you suffer throughout,
when you don't make it |
| 00:01:26 |
00:01:28 |
until the last minute,
you enjoy it much more |
| 00:01:28 |
00:01:31 |
than when it's relatively easier.
|
| 00:01:32 |
00:01:34 |
It's not like I stop to think
what I've achieved, |
| 00:01:34 |
00:01:36 |
what I haven't achieved.
|
| 00:01:37 |
00:01:40 |
Today I was discussing it
with a teammate, |
| 00:01:41 |
00:01:43 |
and they were saying that
in the end, you stop to think. |
| 00:01:43 |
00:01:46 |
Four years ago
it was exactly the same. |
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:49 |
But yes, it's true, little by little
you start garnering wins |
| 00:01:49 |
00:01:51 |
but that's not something
I worry about. |
| 00:01:51 |
00:01:54 |
What I worry about is to keep
achieving the goals I set for myself, |
| 00:01:54 |
00:01:57 |
and this year's was the Tour.
