Um it's, it's, it's a good situation but
also maybe a difficult situation that you guys are in
. What did you talk about last night? Both
and Mark said that you were going to talk about
the situation last night. Yeah, we, we
are indeed a very good situation and something that never
happened before. So it's not a textbook solution for
this and we need everybody like always to discuss.
So what we always do during the race is we
evaluate the stage, we evaluate how we can go
further and we did that last night as well and
you will see it today so you can tell us
the conclusion. Like I said, you will see
it today, but it's really important that we have
a plan as a team as we always do.
Talking a lot. I'm telling this often. We
talk a lot in the winter time. We talk
a lot during races. We want to be,
we want everybody to give their opinion. Everything needs
to be on the table and you know, we
want to know what everybody's opinion is and then we
can make a plan and now we have a plan
is there one specific writer that the management would like
to win this. No, it's like choosing between
your Children. Maybe we have to, you know
, the only thing as a team we want is
to win the Weta and be on the podium.
That has never been a secret. We started the
race with that goal. And for us it's really
important that everybody, we have really incredible, great
writers with Primo Jonas and, and we have to
see, you will see how it will pan out
. Would you agree that today is the moment of
truth? Can't keep saying that he would like to
win unless he stays with him today. Sorry,
I mean, Jones has always said that he wanted
to win, but if that's going to happen,
then he has to stay with him today. Yeah
, like I said, you will see and what
we do, you know, it's too early also
. We still have four days to go and not
only us, it's a is there is there,
it's really strong riders. It is coming up really
, really quickly yesterday. So we have to be
sharp and we have to work together and the winner
as we call it in Dutch, winning together is
something we need, especially today. And the days
after Richard, congratulations, I think there was 1/5
stage win yesterday. Still in the red jersey.
Were you happy with how the stage played out yesterday
? 100%. We win the stage and, you
know, it's, it's not easy to win a
stage in a grand tour. It was a terrible
and really difficult climb. Everybody knows that. So
everything can happen on such a climb. People can
lose two minutes or 1 45 or something like that
and you can also win it. So, yeah
, yesterday was really a good day for the team
and it's incredible how it panned out and I'm happy
for that. He is in red still. And
so it's a really good situation for the team.
And are you getting a sense of reading on social
media and the feeling around outside of Jambo Viz?
How it seems as though the team is not riding
against SEPP but maybe not helping SEP to try to
win the I think I see a lot of people
who are really busy with us, which is good
to see and we are really happy that people love
us so much that they are so concerned about what
we are doing. So we are happy with that
and otherwise we try to do the best thing as
a team and we have to make the decisions up
front and not afterwards. And, you know,
we are not the ones on the bike with the
legs, you know, it's not playstation. We
have to, we have to see how it pans
out on the road and what people then ultimately think
of it because it's going from left to right middle
and down and under et cetera. It's everybody has
a different opinion. Is it best for the team
with, you know, the saying as they're on
the team bus, is it best for the team
to have the helper win in this scenario? At
the? That's a good, that's a different question
than the same question. But in a different way
, I gave an answer to that already, I 00:04:30.759 --> think.
