Lotte Kopecky asked
Mads Pedersen whether he had come second or third. "Second, but after Tadej..." the Dane replied with a smile.
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot turned to
Tadej Pogacar and asked how his partner, Urska Zigart, who he had gone to a
tennis match with on Monday, was doing.
Liane Lippert realized that
Mathieu van der Poel was talking about her shoes. "Are you gossiping about mine?" the German said with a smile. "These shoes are super cool. Last year, we even had ones we could click into our pedals." Pogacar also joined the conversation and said his shoes would allow him to run the fastest.
