Gilbert Interview
Funny.
PEZ: Why is the Cauberg so special for you?
Because it’s a climb that you can take on the big chain ring with big power and at high speed also and its short at 700 meters, so it’s perfect for my characteristics.
PEZ: How much power?
Enough, more than the others, I think.
PEZ: Do you know the numbers?
No, for me when I look at an image of how I can make a gap this is nicer than seeing a graph.
PEZ: But you use an SRM?
Yeah, like everyone, I’m sponsored by SRM.
PEZ: But do you run your life by it, or do you go by the feelings of your body?
Yeah sure, but in the final you don’t have time to see.
PEZ: Chris Froome does.
Yeah he rides like this (head down), but its good when he goes on the street, no one recognizes him because they have only ever seen his helmet. He has a very stylish position. We have fun about this with him when we are training; he knows it and can laugh about it.
PEZ: Do you train with him a lot?
No, because he is always at training camps.
