00:00Je crois que l'équipe a gagné 4 de l'année dernière six races.
00:08Est-ce que c'est un avantage pour l'équipe?
00:11Et ce qui est le point de gagner la Vuelta?
00:15Je ne sais pas si c'est un avantage,
00:17mais je pense qu'il y a de la connaissance de l'équipe de gagner Grand Tour,
00:22et non seulement la Vuelta, c'est bien.
00:27Et je pense que c'est clair que nous sommes venus avec Jonas,
00:32avec une très forte team, et nous sommes venus ici pour gagner.
00:35Mais ce n'est pas facile, mais c'est le goal.
00:39Et ce que tu as expectes de la race, techniquement ?
00:41Quels seront les points où les différences seront mis?
00:46Oui, je pense que nous avons une très claire vision sur ce sujet.
00:51Et comme usual, je ne sais pas ce que nos tactiques seront pour la race,
00:56mais c'est clair, c'est un très difficile.
00:59Nous avons 10 uphill finishes,
01:01le premier premier déjà sur les deux,
01:03et le dernier dernier sur les deux,
01:04donc vous avez besoin d'être là en bonne forme le temps,
01:08et c'est ce qu'on s'arrête de jouer.
01:11Et nous voyons les jours que nous aurons la meilleure,
01:14que vous allez voir dans les prochaines trois semaines.
01:17First, Grisio,
01:18what is the plan for Sepp et Matteo during this race ?
01:22You know, 2023,
01:24it seemed like there wasn't maybe a clear leader.
01:27Do those guys,
01:28have they been told exactly what their roles are ?
01:30Yeah, to start with,
01:32I mean, we have a clear leader here,
01:34that's Jonas.
01:35And of course,
01:35we have a very strong guys,
01:37luckily,
01:38not only Sepp and Matteo,
01:40but also Sepp and Matteo.
01:42And yeah,
01:43how we will play out again
01:45in detail in our tactics,
01:48you will find out in the race.
01:49But our leader is sitting next to me,
01:53and that's also very clear.
01:54For Grisio,
01:55regarding the team time trial,
01:58to what extent do you think
01:59it will be important,
02:00and what time do you estimate
02:02you can win or lose
02:04against your rivals ?
02:06Concerning the team time trial,
02:08it's a super nice discipline.
02:10We won the team time trial
02:12in Périniste this year.
02:13So yeah,
02:15the goal to start with
02:17would be great
02:19to be competitive for the win.
02:20When I see the start list,
02:22certainly I don't see ourselves
02:24as the favourites.
02:26And I would also expect
02:27that on a parcours like this,
02:29very flat,
02:30fairly short,
02:31will take at least
02:32less than half an hour.
02:34There will not be
02:35very big gaps for the GC,
02:37but it's a very nice discipline.
02:39And of course,
02:40we hope we can win
02:42some time on our opponents.
02:45Thanks.
02:45A question from Grisio.
02:47Grisio,
02:47in these last years,
02:49Visma Group
02:50has showed
02:51the capacity
02:53to win Grand Tours
02:54with several different riders.
02:58Obviously,
02:58Primots,
02:59Jonas,
03:00Sepp Cruz,
03:01also Simon Yates,
03:02the Giro.
03:03So far,
03:04in this last year,
03:06UAE
03:06has won
03:07only
03:08with today.
03:11A Grand Tour,
03:11I mean.
03:13This,
03:13on the paper,
03:14can be
03:15an advantage
03:16for you
03:17or not?
03:18Or every Grand Tour
03:19has a different story
03:21and everything
03:22is starting
03:22from scratch?
03:23Yeah,
03:24I think everything
03:25is starting
03:25from scratch.
03:26I think,
03:27of course,
03:29both Ayuso
03:30and Almeida,
03:31they're both capable
03:32of winning
03:32a Grand Tour.
03:33Of course,
03:34we hope,
03:35we believe
03:35that we can
03:37be the better
03:38of them
03:38and that we
03:40can beat them.
03:41But,
03:41yeah,
03:42I certainly
03:43would not rule out
03:44that one of them
03:45or Del Toro
03:47or whoever
03:48from UAE
03:49will win
03:50a Grand Tour
03:50in the future.
03:51It's also
03:51in their team.
03:52It's not only
03:53down to
03:54Tadej
03:55and nobody else.
03:56Good save.
03:58A question for Grisha.
03:59What do you expect
04:00of Ben Tullet
04:01and Axel Zengle
04:02who are doing
04:03their first
04:03Grand Tour
04:04with the team?
04:06Yeah,
04:06I mean,
04:06we selected them
04:07because we think
04:08they can be
04:09a crucial
04:09part of the team.
04:12Ben already
04:13showed a few times
04:13this year
04:14that he's
04:15really,
04:15really strong.
04:16Also,
04:16Axel,
04:16he already
04:17was there
04:17with us
04:18in the Pyrenees
04:19for example.
04:20Unfortunately,
04:21he had a bad crash
04:22in May
04:22but he's back now
04:23and he,
04:25yeah,
04:25the whole team
04:26but I think
04:27we selected
04:27eight very,
04:28very strong guys
04:29and they will
04:31play their role
04:31in this Vuelta
04:33and support.
04:34In the sports director car
04:35you will have
04:36Jesper Mirko
04:37at this Vuelta
04:37and I was just wondering
04:38what does he bring
04:40to the team
04:40and why did you decide
04:43to bring him
04:43to this race?
04:45Yeah,
04:45I think we took
04:46on Jesper
04:48because we were
04:48looking for extra
04:50sports director
04:50last year
04:51and we brought him
04:53on because he was
04:54also working together
04:55a lot with
04:56Espen Arsjold,
04:57one of our trainers
04:58and one of our
05:00performance coaches
05:01and yeah,
05:02he makes a very good
05:04impression on the team
05:05and yeah,
05:07he will be here
05:08in the Vuelta.
05:08It's not his first
05:09Grand Tour
05:09but it's his first
05:10Grand Tour
05:11where he will also
05:12be together
05:12with Martin Weinanz
05:13doing the race coaching
05:15and I will be more
05:17there in the role
05:18of helping them
05:19and being a bit
05:20more on the background
05:21here
05:21and yeah,
05:22we have a lot
05:24of trust
05:24in Jesper
05:25and in Martin
05:26that they will
05:27do it well.
05:29And what does he
05:30bring to the team?
05:30Does he have any
05:31personal qualities
05:32that are nice
05:33for you guys to have?
05:34I think he's just
05:35a really,
05:36really good coach.
05:37What he brings
05:37to the team
05:38for example
05:38that's very good
05:39for Jonas
05:39is that he has
05:40a lot of knowledge
05:41about sprinting
05:42but normally
05:43he's a lot of times
05:44on the road
05:45with Olaf
05:45because he really
05:46has a lot of
05:47interest
05:48in the bunch sprints
05:50but that doesn't
05:51take away
05:51that he also
05:53can direct
05:54a Vuelta
05:55Grand Tour
05:56and I think
05:57yeah,
05:58he's still young
05:58but he stopped
05:59at quite an early age
06:00and he's already
06:01he has quite a lot
06:02of experience
06:03already as a coach
06:04and he does
06:05that really well
06:06and maybe
06:06it's also nice
06:07for Jonas
06:07every once in a while
06:08to talk a little bit
06:09of Danish
06:10and the rest of us
06:12cannot understand
06:12so that's also nice.
