Finding yourself at the beginning of a new challenge in times when you don't know what is that step that will take you further. Taking that first step, being successful. That part in the middle, where he is reaching out, through the side of the fence. That was TDF 2020. As for the quoted part, he did finish second. Hence one more step! Just like the dancer, getting up, going forward, taking the foot back, for a mere second and after jumping on that last step or better podium.
P.S. Could be i misinterpret it, but that i guess what art is all about.
