Interview?

[Lalla Meriem]

I think he says something like "It is a great honour, for all of Luxembourg that we have such a good league table rider. It was simply "super". It's such an honour that, after 50 years, since Charly Gaul, a Luxembourger, or actually three Luxembourgers, stand up on the platform. I cannot be better, really."

I say: I think, because I can understand German, but my Letzebuergs is not so good (knowledge non-existent, really). So even though the languages are similar, I am not 100% sure. And I know I missed a part somewhere, but now you have an idea of what he said.

Some context: Frank Schleck (the cyclist of about which this is) was the revelation of that Tour de France, wearing the "white sweater" for "best youth". So that was an honour indeed.

Well, in the beginning of the conversation he's talking about being on the phone with someone a Claus something. I didn't watch the clip today but I have it saved on my PC and I remember him talking about being on the phone at the beginning before he said "super."

You are right, Lalla Meriem, he says something about being on the phone to explain the league table (or however you call it for cyclists, "das klassement") to someone. He says this before Luxembourg being proud and the "super" part.

Thank you Lady Leana!
It does seem that Felix goes to all the sport events in representation of his family.

I found the wikipedia page on the rider if anyone is interested:
Andy Schleck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I saw the page of wikipedia about the life of the cyclist , and I saw that it measures 1,86, and in a photo that goes out with felix they are almost of the same height, that felix is not so small as he was thinking, this one to my height!!!!

 

[Lady Claire]

WOW! Thanks rociocristina! I never put those two together. Thank you for pointing that out!

I couldn't find a picture of them standing near each other except for the ones where the cyclist is standing on the dais. Can you link the picture you saw of them standing near each other?

If Felix is only 1.86m (6'1") then Guillaume can't be more than 5'6"-5'9" I'm pretty surprised. You have excellent eyes. I totally missed the height connection.

Does anyone have the interview with Prince Felix and Monica Semedo which is mentioned earlier saved on their PC? It looks to be lengthy.
