Milan for Green in the TDF
Kooij did become sick the last two days. A little flue probably. not sure if he will start tomorrow.
God, kick JP out already. Even after becoming a joke he won’t clean up his riding. He’s like a toddler
Pogi attempts the leadout to make Milan chase and sprint for 300 uphill…FB positioning was a bit off so got boxed…no idea why Phillipsen suddenly wobbled left though. Maybe he just instinctively knows how to create max havoc..it's a gift..😂
Does he actually chop himself on pog? Looks like his back tire explodes. Puff of a air
Agreed, super exciting opening stage
What is Pogacar doing? Attacking on a sprint stage, then trying to sprint early for the stage win.
Jasper doing his usual thing as always–deviating from the line and getting relegated.
Milan is bringing apin' it back big time.
Wonder who that was darting out of their line at the sprint.
Oh wait… I know…
Tadej Pogacar CRAZY Sprint ? really ? It's nothing crazy. The main thing is to write in the description of the video “Pogacar” to get more views.
Use of crazy as adjective
That curb that took out the UAE rider…I mean.. why wasn't that dangerous part of the track more highlighted? Why didn't the race organisers think about that? Very unprofessional and kinda laughable that you cant "take care" of such important things.
Who knows he might have died if we hit the ground in a more unlucky manner.
Jasper the DISASTER almost strikes again!!!!
Milan looked like he was gonna pass out in the interview! LOL
that cycling circuit looks cool, nice that all light poles were padded as well.
If putting that in the race was tourism bait then it sure worked on me 😅
was there a puff of smoke coming out of a tire at the instant of that UAE crash?
I would throw up if I do the same
So besides Pogi, who else to watch for the CG?
Sorry but what on earth is this course? Does anyone want to watch this racing around on flat highways and dunes
Jasper disaster at it again
That was an ugly ass sprint
Who that new leadout guy wearing rainbow jersey?
So dystopian. Cyclists riding in deserts in disinterested countries for sports washing
Milan – it’s time you dig out the Roman Emperor costume, roll up your sleeves when racing, and fill that Cipollini-sized hole in our hearts. The world is yours. You even speak great English
138km in 3 hours 31 minutes is about 39kmph. Climbing at that speed! Insane. I can't even go 60km at 25kmph on flat road….
But why such heavy breathing during the interview? It's been 10 minutes already…
And jasper do jasper things 😂
this was a statement by Milan. If a guy his size can win like this on a 5% finish then imagine the flat. If his team can deliver him properly he will be dominant.
Omg finn fisher black would won about one bike lenght over Milan when he was not blocked twice!!!!
I wonder if LR gets offers from major sports media companies to provide live coverage of these races.
man i cannot beleive they padded all those lamps… what are they ever there for.
My take, if you keep getting relegated for the same thing UCI needs to look into placing suspensions on you.
I think Molano's wheel exploded
which caused him to crash.
Crazy that you saw that sprint finish and thought “yeah, Tadej is the star here so he’ll be the caption and thumbnail”
You have all year to kiss his butt, give credit to the guys actually winning when you can
Stop with the gay crush on Tadej..embarrassing
Philipsen always naughty
Viper Philipsen
Can't believe this is the only way I can watch bike racing now 😢
The insufferable Lanterne Rouge is back in business. 🤔
Ridiculous some didn't win cause of obstruction in front of their lane. Unfair these cycling racing. But it is what it is, you better be a pro at obstructing also
what a depressing place to ride a bike
a bike race in the desert. yaeah they have a big bike culture there (just oil money again)
Good job
Maybe pogi was just trying to hit a power mark and then the technical docs can crunch all his metabolic data to compare
..Teams who ride Colnago Y1RS should be disqualified from the tour. Colnago Y1RS is the time trial bike not a UCI road legal race bike. The definition of a diamond-shaped road frame made of two triangles: a main triangle and a rear triangle which required the seat tube directly mounted from the bottom bracket continuously align with the seat post up to the seat clamp. Notice the Y1RS design, the seat post now disconnect from the seat post & it now wraps around the front side of the rear wheel. It’s now become part of the wheel airfoil cover. The problem is UCI does discriminate people based on their color & on bike manufacture based on their origin. Imagine if Giant came up with this bike design originally, UCI would immediately ban the Giant Company & would calling Giant the cheater. But when Cervelo, Trek & Colnago came up with radical design which was clearly illegal based on the UCI rule, then UCI would call their design, genius..
