confident form strong team
Lance is confident he has a strong team and now it's up to him to be ready. His form is coming.
challenge few head leader races ready step strong team time
I feel like with have a really strong team but without Lance, it's going to take some time and some races to get used to him not being here. It will be big challenge for me. I think in a few years we will have another strong leader at the head of this team and I think we have a few that are here now and are ready to step up into that role.
definitely great start
He's definitely have a great start of the year.
easy fulfil goal great hopefully morale nice race stated win wins
his two wins in Benelux were nice but this is something else. It's great for his morale and for the team's morale. Before the race began, I stated our goal is to win two stages. It's not easy to win but hopefully we can fulfil the goal.

He's planning on being here. Just sitting with me in the car, he helps.
best experience finish grand hardest high last tour week weeks
He will try to do the best he can and try to finish as high as possible. The last week of a grand tour is always the hardest and that's the experience that he's really lacking. After two weeks of what we've seen, it's been very positive.

convinced crashed jersey kept rider yellow
We're convinced that he would have kept his leader's jersey had he not crashed. You don't take the yellow jersey away from a rider who crashed out.
good leader replace somebody strong team
We didn't really look for somebody to replace him. For one there is nobody, not a strong leader like he was. Without him we have a very good team . . . but not the favorites.
