Battu de quelques centièmes de seconde (24) par Joshua Tarling (INEOS Grenadiers) lors du chrono de la 2e étape du Tour d'Italie ce samedi, Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) peut se réconforter avec son Maillot Rose, acquis pour une seconde. Malgré la perte de la victoire pour deux dixièmes, le Slovène est satisfait de son contre-la-montre, même s’il le rappelle dans son interview d’après-course : "L'objectif, c'est de le porter à Rome."

00:00Rimoz, c'est une histoire aujourd'hui, la plus grande différence entre le 1er et le 2er.
00:10C'est juste un second, qu'est-ce que tu fais de ça ?
00:13Oui, je veux dire, évidemment, aujourd'hui, les jeunes ont gagné, mais il y a encore quelques stages à aller,
00:22donc, je veux dire, j'espère que les jeunes puissent nous montrer.
00:26Did you expect to do so well?
00:29Yeah, I mean, it's just... I didn't think about it.
00:34I mean, you know, I just went out there, tried to do my best.
00:39At the end was really close, so super happy about it.
00:44Did you have the information that you were possibly the winner?
00:49Yeah, some information, yes, but, yeah, I mean, not really that you are one second.
00:55Clothes or whatever, but, I mean, that doesn't really change.
00:59I mean, like I said, I went out there, put everything there, and, yeah, it was a bit too short today.
01:06What does it say about your shape?
01:10Shape is good, like I said, I mean, I'm ready, I'm feeling good, I'm happy, so I don't complicate.
01:17Last year, one Slovenian took the Malia Rosa on day two, same again?
01:24Ah, yeah, I mean, same is that I took on day two, but we will see, you know, it's far to go, so, day by day, like I say, and, yes, I mean, obviously, for us, going for a GC is the most important than the one in Rome.
01:40Thank you very much.
01:42Thank you.
01:42Thank you.
01:42How do you think of the rivals, because those gaps are quite big in the end?
01:47Oh, nothing really, I thought, like, I mean, I don't lose too much from the start of it, you know, and obviously, it's not really the time trial that I would, yeah, wish for it, or, you know, to suit me the best.
02:03So, at the end, I have to do what it is there, so, I mean, I was just, just happy, and I really enjoyed it, I mean, especially, I mean, riding was quite hard, but the result is nice, no?
02:17Ciro?
02:19Hey, Primoz, congrats, on the bike, did you have the 64 for the time trial?
02:2568.
02:29Dalla Sala Stampa, Press Room?
02:30Dalla Sala Stampa, Press Room?
02:32Si, Tom Morshtrop.
02:34I mean, it's no problem with putting big rings, but the problem is the power, so, but, yeah, today, somehow, I went through a...
02:44Press Room.
02:46Primoz, you seemed a bit frustrated that you didn't want the time trial, and you seemed a bit surprised to get the Maya Rosa.
02:55Is that observation correct, and does the Maya Rosa comes a bit too early for you?
03:00Uh, I mean, yeah, for sure, you always want to win, but at the end, I mean, he's, uh, I don't care so much about the results anymore, I'm told to be stressed about these details, I mean, like I said, I'm, uh, I'm healthy, I'm functioning well, I did a nice time trial, and, uh, poah.
03:19He's just, uh, yeah, uh, a great surprise, I mean, at the end, uh, I also, I also have this, uh, pink jersey.
03:27Sala Stampa, Press Room.
03:28Sala Stampa, Press Room.
03:30Primoz, congrats with your pink jersey.
03:32Did you already work a lot with, uh, Dan Beckham, the new performance manager?
03:36Thank you, uh, yes, I mean, uh, we, obviously, we, obviously, we, we try to put, yes, uh, work in, uh, they, they have a lot of knowledge with, uh, with Dan and with Johnny, uh, and, uh, yes, we, you know, we need time at the end to, to put, uh, yeah, the best of ourselves together, so, uh, I mean, yeah, we are still working on it, and, uh, I mean, we see, uh,
04:03uh, how far and how good we, we can be at the end, but for the moment, yeah, I mean, it, it's, it's nice.
04:11I, Primoz, you said it's easier to lose the jersey than to gain it.
04:15In 2023, you had it just one day.
04:18What do you remember the day with the pink jersey?
04:24Uh, there was already a big party, uh, so, uh, yeah, please, or whatever, so, I mean, yeah, I will just enjoy it.
04:34Yeah.
04:35Primoz, if you do give the jersey to someone else, do you think about what happened in last year's Vuelta when you get five minutes to an O'Connor?
04:45I mean, in that case, uh, some minutes less would be even better, no?
04:51So, yeah, we will see.
04:54Last question from the press room.
04:56Last question from the press room.
04:58Primoz, congratulations.
05:00Uh, how do you, uh, imagine tomorrow's stage?
05:03Will, uh, these short gaps, the still gaps?
05:09Oh, yeah, we will see.
05:11I mean, uh, on the first, uh, ball, probably something like yesterday, huh?
05:15I mean, it's, uh, it's a tough climb, uh, so, uh, it just depends how hard will be the pace,
05:21but, uh, obviously, uh, Mats, uh, is in great shape, so, uh, I guess, I mean, definitely, they, they will try to, to set it up again, uh, uh, for him.
05:32Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
