I know David never thought that he'd ever be doing anything like this.

So I never thought about this in the future.

And thank God I looked out for number one for a couple of days and laid the foundation for this.

Yeah.

In my first day here in Bilbao, freaking out, nervous, everyone's asking me, oh, hey, what are you doing?

I'm on the motorcycle.

How long are you going to be here?

I'm like, what do you mean?

The whole thing.

He's like, everyone's like, the whole thing?

I'm like, we have a choice?

but i will say and i knew you guys were going to ask about this i i really think that everyone yourself included should always have a couple days on the motorcycle yeah they have the appreciation of what's going on yeah yeah i mean it's the best and worst job in the world there's no doubt about it i mean i would say 10 of it is incredible like you know when you cut the wrapping paper just perfectly kind of thing it's like

wow, I can't believe the position I'm in.

And other times you're like, I haven't seen the race in seven hours.

And for people like myself who've done many Grand Tours, you have the feeling all the time of what's going on.

You don't have to see it.

I know what's going on.

I can just look at the speedometer and I can feel and see the guys coming back and forth.

But then to actually see what's going on in the race, a lot of times I have to watch on TV to see truly what was going on in the finale.

But it's really cool.
