“For sure, why not? Never say never. That would be the ultimate dream. I am not going to say it’s not possible," Hindley told the media, confirming his ambition to ride the Tour de France. Hindley, 26, has ridden the Giro d'Italia four times and the Vuelta a España once. His focus on the Corsa Rosa has until now steered him away from the Tour, however things may change in the foreseeable future.
Asked about his next goals, Hindley pointed out something specific: “The biggest would be to ride the Tour. This is my fifth year and I’ve never ridden the Tour. That would be a huge step forward. Not necessarily riding for GC, but just riding the Tour is super special, so maybe next year. That would be pretty awesome.”
Away from the bike, Hindley is at the time prioritizing resting and enjoying the next week with his family. "It was pretty full-gas from the moment I crossed the line. I didn’t have time to do anything. It was full-gas interviews, the presentation, and then we had a big party afterwards," he detailed. "The highlight for me beyond winning the race was to have my parents and girlfriend, especially my parents, whom I had seen in such a long, long time. That was so special."
“It really hasn’t sunk in yet, but it will in the next few weeks. It’s still feels like a dream," Hindley added. He's talked about the possibility of riding the World championships in Australia later this year, but that it's a distant thought. For the time being he gets to assimilate his glorious achievement.
