Pogicar and Vinegaarrd did great bla, bla, bla. The most important thing brought up in this video is that the cobbled season begins this weekend. The hard men and women who can motor and sprint over the bumpy rocks begins. Yes! My favorite part of the season.
4:40 Pogacar stats on stage races are outrageous. I thought he only had become dominant in the last couple years. But it seems it always has been the case.
Let's hope him and Jonas stay healthy for the tdf
Is that presenter 60?
disgusting tour, in the slave labor capital of the world. these cyclists are like escorts selling themselves to the highest bidder.
The only thing that we learned is they are the 2 best cyclists in the world and thsi tour is going to be fire.
Pogacar is in top form from the beginning to the end of the season, in some stage races he has to go crazy to stay in shape…
Vingegaard reaches his pic form in the summer because his targets mainly the Tour… that's why he was enable to drop his contenders during mountain stages in the Volta ao Algarve, and Almeida climbed even faster than him during the TT. He still won of course, but he's not the only one who gets better along the season…. bro has to become exceptional if he wants to dominate the likes of Pogi and Remco
If that misdirected group had all crashed Ganna's result would have still stood, so why the nullification? What did it achieve?
Those monterous TT helmets need to be banned.
JV’s TT was impressive. So far ahead at the bottom of the climb didn’t have to worry about the finish. Pogi always looks great. Looking forward to an exciting season and hoping Roglic comes into the Tour in his best form.
This going to be a crazy year 🚬
Oh you just jinxed Tadej
Tadej also got that 3 second bonus too
The rest of UAE riders are too hungry under the shadow of Pogacar
At this point, I just wish everyone is healthy and be safe throughout the year.
Hey Dan, i would love to see you back on eurosport/tnt commentary it's not been the same since you went away, please get back on there 👍
Why are you advertising discovery+ and max? I thought GCN was a seperate entity nowadays?
we learned tp is still stronger better and faster than jv and that uae is superior to jlab
Interesting Roglic went 20 seconds quicker than Vingegaard on the last hill of the time trial. Perhaps he just did not go hard enough until then. Miscalculation or is he truly that far behind Vingegaard?
Vingegaard wins stage races in such boring ways
Thanks Dan. I didn't get a chance to watch the racing live, so this is an awesome summary and highlights from the events. Great insights too
The Visma TT head gear is ridiculous
Until Jonas starts racing the Monuments he's just another Froome.
Season over pog wins anything he enters unless jonas also starts doping
Justice For Pippo! The route is clear in road book 📕
Indeed 1×1 for the result, but about the show, we just saw it in The UAE!!
And just as Froome was on his way back to his best
Pogacar needs to wise up. He shouldn’t play a part in breaks, breaks, often doomed serve a purpose. If he chases then the break will have both GC and sprint teams to worry about. In fact, Lance Armstrong once threatened an Italian rider, known for breaks with exactly that.
lovely
Jonas was saving energy for the TT i came to reslise that at the end
We have learned that Tadej is a little boy cheater that is probably still doping. Grow some balls Tadej.
Stop sucking on the trunk of this cheater.
Vingegaard & Pogačar are back in top form! The 2024 season is shaping up to be an epic battle between these two. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Didn't Pogi DNF in LBL in 2023?
Here's what we learned: we won't be watching any cycling this year after Discovery + / TNT raised their price from £6 a month to £32 a month.
What is it with Philipsen, has he got a learning malfunction or what.. 🤔🤪
Shame you're not taking a stance on the unreasonable cost of cycling coverage in the uk and continue to promote discovery and their effort to subsidise overpaid badly behaved footballers.
Your ongoing relationship with discovery is a conflict of interest.
