00:00Congratulations, Matt. A tight finish. Were you sure to have won?
00:04No, not at all. This was incredible hard the last 20Ks and I suffered really a lot in this last climb.
00:12So, yeah, this was a really, really tough one and I wasn't sure.
00:18How far from the line have you thought that you could come back in the mix?
00:23I knew that over the top when I was a bit behind it, I was still in the group of, you know, fighting for the win.
00:30But, yeah, I had a really hard time there and I used a lot of energy to move back up on the Vitek's wheel.
00:38And then, yeah, I had to spend the energy to come back for at least fighting for the win and then, yeah, luckily I had enough for the last sprint.
00:50So, yeah, this was a really tough one.
00:55Three wins after five stages, the big Giro d'Italia.
00:59Yeah, I have to say again, now it's really incredible and to win in this jersey as well, it's insane.
01:08It's way more than I ever dreamt about. So, yeah, what a Gito we have and what a team I have around me.
01:16And tomorrow it's Napoli, Naples. You have won there before, so it might be one more.
01:21As I say, every day we try to win as much as possible and, yeah, we try again tomorrow.
01:30Lorenzo, tell us about the finale today. How much does it hurt even if you are not playing for the win?
01:36No, today was an easy day. In the last 20 kilometers, UAE started to pull in front, but we stay 60 riders in peloton.
01:48So, this morning, I said we arrived in sprint group and we arrived in sprint group with Pedersen.
01:56So, today was more or less easy stage.
02:00There was one KOM, one point up for grabs when you passed it. No worries.
02:06No, today one KOM and tomorrow will be too hard, but we will see.
02:14Are you looking forward to Friday stage?
02:17Yes, yes. I think all peloton look to Friday stage and so many GC riders, but also many riders that want to win the breakaway.
02:28Got you.
02:29But yes, were you a bit too strong for Mats at some stage and have you been told to slow down?
02:36Yeah, too strong. I would say, you know, it was a bit harder than we expected for sure the final.
02:44It was a hard kick and already at 20K before it was a hard pace already.
02:50Also UAE, they went quite fast, so yeah, it was hard for everybody, but you know, it's a parkour that really suits me in the end.
02:58And yeah, Mats in the last kick he told me to go, so I thought maybe he has good legs and we can stretch out the group a bit more.
03:07So I went, but not really full gas, but then yeah, in the finish he told me that he told me go, that I should attack.
03:15But yeah, anyway, I got the information that Mats is dropping a bit and on the top I was waiting and some guys took over the lead.
03:25Caruso tried to attack, but yeah, I could still catch him.
03:30And then Mats came at the last kilometer and I could still put him in a really good position.
03:37And we did the lead out like always we do and he could win again.
03:42So this is pretty amazing.
03:44You have mentioned UAE team Emirates.
03:46Do you have the feeling that Isaac Del Toro wants to take the white jersey from you?
03:51Yeah, for sure he wants to take it, you know, he's quite close.
03:56But we are now having the race under control and we are taking over, you know, winning is still winning.
04:04And, you know, that's our plan always to get the stages.
04:08So this is already a big achievement for the team.
04:11And I'm still holding the white jersey, which I am really, really happy too.
04:15And, you know, if I would see that the white jersey is in danger, for example, today, then I would for sure not give it away like this to him.
04:24So yeah, I'm still happy that I have it and we could take the stage.
04:28Thank you very much.
