T pachar is almost always mentioned in the same breath as your teammate of course you and as finger go they both have two TR France wins a pace and it’s easy for us to say that they are together a level above everybody else is that how it’s seen within the team because we also have preo Ro glitch against you guys this year we’ll have Remco racing as first trade of France do you think that Tad and yunas are a level Above the Rest um that’s that’s what I what that’s what you would say but I think uh soon as you start underestimating your other uh opponents you’re doing something wrong so I’d say of course when whenever Pacha is at the start if it’s a tour of flers or I’m sure next year he’ll try to go for parir next year you heard it here first um you always need to need need to make sure you keep an eye on on Pacha um but yeah if if you if you let if if Pacha and and yonas are looking at each other this year and Remco and Primos they go they take two minutes yeah they’re not going to close it by yourself so um I think physically pure physically yonas and Pacha are the strongest but uh with with a strong flat time Trail Remco has for example it can also be of a great danger so these four guys they’re going to battle for the four first four spots in the T France in my opinion we are all desperate for uh recovering yona’s finger go to be as close to his top level as possible to see this huge showd down at the tur of France What could can you tell us about how he’s recovering right now I also spoke about with my Dutch colleagues on the commentary earlier before and um I was saying as a as a cyclist your recovery never goes as fast as you would want it to go so I’m I’m sure y’s recovery is is going is going okay but time will tell if it’s good enough for the tour to France I mean uh you would rather do uh VO2 max intervals yesterday than in two days you know like you’re always looking ahead and it’s never enough and you’re like uh you can now with all the data all the Watts you can also compare your your level to to last year last year I could do I could do this this this amount of power this much what per kilo for so many minutes and now I can only do this so um I think you’re comparing comparing a lot and uh time will tell uh what how good he can go to uh to fenza you and Dan were having an interesting conversation as we were watching the racing earlier and he was asking how closely you guys are keeping an eye on Tad during this race and whether you think it’s a good thing for your team chances that he’s racing so hard or whether it is as I said earlier perhaps a little bit intimidating are you are the team are the writers are the management looking closely at T or is it that classic thing of we can only prepare what we can prepare I think it’s we can only prepare what we can prepare and I think also is that true or is that what you have to [Laughter] say no but I I think also if you if you really think if you look look at this G what T is doing right now it’s what what expected is what the world expects him to do if they go to the to the final climb the bunch complete everybody expects him to win so if he win if he goes on to win seven stages he’s going to be it’s going to be an extraordinary performance but it’s it’s it’s difficult to say but it’s almost normal that he wins so many stages because he’s the only Rider with such a great class with such great capacities uh being at the start line and it’s kind of like you say yis in case we’ll be looking at data points from last year comparing his progress this year in his recovery only tday and his coaching staff will know how hard he’s actually gone in this J comparing the data from these stages which he’s been winning comparing it to days where he’s been suffering trying a lot harder and where they think he is fatigue wise and how much he’s put into the Juro and I love those question marks all I hope for is that we get the big fall that we spoke about at a very similar level in the tour to France what I do know is that the scientists and coach at Vis M Lisa bike will be a bit more high brow than he got a red nose did you hear that c he’s getting sick what I’m reading into your answer anyway Natan is we can only prepare what we can prepare but we’re keeping a close eye on Tad Pacha all the see him and I think that’s very wise indeed because this man is quite simply on fire right now isn’t he
