Rob Hatch. The best cycling commentator of them all!

he has a degree in linguistics.

Rob Hatch is the best. Hands down.

Rob e' un grande!

Is it ever really perfect Italian if you can't see their hands? 🤔

Yeah, it’s called PEDs Remember the Lance days?… Different day, same old shite👎

​@@chris8456 Now say it without crying.

Mental, I mean he's not racing a load of old cart horses after all, does make you wonder

When things seem too good to be true...

@@chris8456 who cares? They’re all on PEDs.

Yes this is true and because of this we love pogi

Jonas would’ve raced this very conservatively, sticking with the GC group till the finish line. This is why Pogi is the best rider of this generation

​@@supermitendo9654he can't beat Jonas though

​@@olivernielsen1131 He has though in the tour 2021? Paris nice 2023?

Well, he hasn't beat him in 2 years, but probably will so now that Jonas is horribly injured

Would have been so nice if he had been able to take that stage win...its just so boring this way

@@Ichtyosapiens I don't even mind this dominance. It was so extremely entertaining and fascinating to watch Pogacar starting his attack and just flying past everyone.

Jairo, dirty little rat.

You are untouchable if you are doping

@@samm7876 they all are...

To late, GCN managed to ruin it on social media as usual

You fellas need to self regulate that shit. If you aren’t down with spoilers.. then stay off the internet, until you’ve seen the races. Don’t expect people to gate keep, on your behalf.

@@user-fi7kw9cn5mhow do you do that if you use the internet to watch?

S P O I L E R B L O C K E R

Im not sure anything is spoiled by now.

Yep awesome effort!

I've said many bad things about Niaro over the last 6 years but that was an incredible ride from him!! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Perhaps an enhanced legend like Lance Armstrong.

@@esquire1992 based on what? Bcuz he is the best? So messi and ronaldo are doped just bcuz they are the best. There is no proof + why is even Pogacar not even close by breaking records from guys with 2kg heavier bikes who rode 30km more. There is a difference between dope and natural talent boy

@@jamie_kw Let's say hes doped! Others are not? Thomas isn't dopped? Remco? MVDP? WVA? Roglic? Vingegaard? You think they are clean if hes doped? XDDD

@@jamie_kwjust stick to triathlon

@@jamie_kw If Pogi is doping, why did he lose to Filippo Gana in the previous stage ITT? He wants to win them all, isn't it? Is Ganna a better doper?

same vibe as mvdp attacking cause he was cold lmao

The lance Armstrong of this generation

@@samm7876 Let's say hes doped! Others are not? Thomas isn't dopped? Remco? MVDP? WVA? Roglic? Vingegaard? You think they are clean if hes doped? XDDD

​@@yubakadi217You start the race with 130 genetic freaks (hugely talented people). A couple will always be more freakish than others. When one seems able to take minutes out of the rest day in day out, race in race out without out any obvious sign of fatigue you have to suspect that they are doing something others aren't. Saying all cyclists are doped is a huge cop out. Cycling has always been relatively open about the doping issue compared with other sports like, football, tennis, rugby, American football etc (all of which have far more money and lawyers involved):and has suffered for it. I've followed cycling for 40 years and although I love the sport I'm a cynical old git. If something looks unbelievable 40 years has shown it usually is

@@richardbrook4545 Some are better than others! We will never know who is 100% clean or 20% clean or has the best doping system or the best products! My point is that it’s unfair to point out only one man because hes winning especialy when the peleton isn’t at his best in this giro! Pogacar got droped by Vingegaard! He even got droped by WVA in a mountain stage! I dont think a dopped guy or a better dopped guy will be droped in the most important stage by a non climber in a mountain stage! Did you watch Vingegaard last TT in the tour?

@@yubakadi217 I entirely agree, we are unlikely to know one way or the other. Cycling has had a number of spectacular talents with particular specialisms who I can believe are clean. Unfortunately historically I can't think of any of the 'all conquering heros' seemingly brilliant at everything and equipped with miraculous powers of recovery who haven't had 'help'. It isn't one rider I am attacking more a case of if it looks too good to be true.....

10 years ago POGI was cheering for Quintana at the giro d'Italia, how ironic is that😂😂😂😂

Idk, he was struggling on the end of the last climb as well. He just struggles faster than anyone else! 😅

@@andrasszabo1570 I think that goes to show just how steep that final section was. Incredible.

better prepared than on the stages last year's Tour where he did look very tired

Just like Annemiek van Vleuten, when she won the TDF two years ago on these monster-hillclimbs of the last two stages. Or Demi Vollerink, when she did the same last year on the final stage.

​@@wernerschneider4460who gives a shit about women racing, not even up to mens amateur status.

That stage Is one of the best pogacar show

nice catch!

Almost unrecognisable.

Rob Hatch! Degree in languages, perfect italian pronunciation.

Go look up vids of Merckx in yellow taking 8 mins on one mighty mountain stage in le Tour! Go read up on some of Coppi's legendary rides!

ever meet someone in your work field who just somehow got the best of luck anyone could have dreamed of and that person just shrugged it off? Doped not sure, but every year we will see one of these special people in any category of life.

@@QiuyuanChenRyan916 yes he does had some luck i agree... i cant wait for the tdf with vingegaard, evenepoel and roglic... really excited for when the competition knocks.

@@ytmatsenlevi9827 You'll be lucky to see vingegaard, even if he is there hime. and evefnpoel are both coming off serious injuries so won't be too tough.

I rate him equal to Vingegaard, I hope Jonas will be fit again soon. Both are extremely strong.

​@@ben9229Vingegaard needs to have the same amount and quality of wins to be equal . How many classics and monuments have Vingegaard won so far?

@@ben9229 They are both awesome!! For me though , Pogi is the one. I like how he does the classics and things out of the ordinary. It makes it entertaining to watch. If he does the double this year , groß und Prost!

All natural? 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@@kennykaniff Mebbe not, Coppi admitted he was on the stuff every important ride, nobody gave it a monkey's back then; a less bothered age.

@@sandydennylives1392 even before yesterday's performance it was obvious but after that BEYOND SUPERHUMAN ride yesterday it is glaringly obvious. He beat the record on that climb by 4min 30sec by an admitted doper. He put out 6.9watts/kg for 13 mins and 6.1watss/kg for 35 mins!! This is not the feats of an all natural athlete 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

But there's Jonas who is by far better climber and GC biker. Wtf 😂

Just to mention but Pogacar was still half a minut slower than pantani in just 7km...pogacar would be an average rider 30 years back if we compare time.. this guy is nothing against merckx

Jonah can easily handle & beat Pogacar. Eddie in his prime would have beaten him as well.

@@ytmatsenlevi9827nostalgia merchant

@Zimbelfrau yeah I gave him his props, but this is a different version of Pog. I don't think Jonas wins today

C'mon tho! When someone is that far ahead of his peers it has to be questioned. This had EVERY SINGLE commentator and ex rider lost for words. They did not know what they just saw. They didn't know what to say 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

C'MON NOW!! All you keep hearing from commentators is them saying, unbelievable, majestic, miles ahead of the rest of the pk magnificent, a different level than anyone in the race, it's next level stuff, Kelly was out of words, it's just unreal etc etc. These are the words of ex riders that are not believing what they are seeing. They don't know what to say. What we just saw was superhuman. How can you not question this??? I love it. I say keep the doping in the sport but dope them ALL like this. This sh1t is great to watch 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Well then, let's put Vingegaard in the mix too. Pogacar has been winning races since he was a teenager, proving many times of his talent from a young age Vingegaard came out of nowhere in the 2021 TDF and started dominating, mind you, he had already won 7 races by April this year as well before his crash, that's an astronomically astounding feat. Maybe they are doping, or they are not, But one can't point fingers only on pogacar and act as if vingegaard is clean.

@@sushhustled12 OF COURSE. ABSOLUTELY Jonas is on "the program" as well 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Have to say...I'm a little suspicious.

0:13 some are saying he's the new messiah of cycling?

well.. Armstrong still had to fight for the win

No TdF já vai ter mais competição

He looked like we riding a motorcycle going by those guys.

when was the last time Nairo achieved anything in a group of favourites? oh, and he beat Ganna in an uphill TT, not in a flat one. so still normal here - besides, TTs towards the end of a GT often go to GC riders rather than TT specialists

look at who is 2nd in GC: a TdF winner from 6 years ago. Who is 2nd in the stage: a winner from 10 years ago.

Look at the last 3 tours, JV, even WvA, among others, smoking everyone. There are like 6 riders above anyone else at the moment, and when they don’t race eachother, they smoke everyone else! Jumbo let their 3rd tier rider win the veulta - imagine how bad the winning margin would have been if they let JV or PR win???

@@niallwoan5847 Are you saying Sepp Kuss is a "3rd tier" rider? Superdomestique is now a "3rd tier rider"?

@@osimnodhe was the 3rd tier JV rider of the veulta, he isn’t a “”3rd tier rider””. Work it out. JV & PR were the 1st & 2nd tier riders & they would have done a TP decimation of the field at the veulta.

C'MON NOW!! All you keep hearing from commentators is them saying, unbelievable, majestic, miles ahead of the rest of the pk magnificent, a different level than anyone in the race, it's next level stuff, Kelly was out of words, it's just unreal etc etc. These are the words of ex riders that are not believing what they are seeing.

Yea just as Jonah whipped him in the last two TDF... LOL.

😂

Tour de France 2023 Stage 16 ITT Jonas vingegaard 1:38 minutes ahead of pogacar , Almost 3 minutes off third place wout van aert, a proven time trialist.

yeah, I hope tdf will be much closer with jonas, remco and primoz but I wouldn't bet on it witnessing pogi's performance

Their not really high level in this tour, none of the big five and Pog trained specifically for the giro, like Vinky for the tour

That's because it is naturally impossible.

​@@pahouseholderactually it is naturally possible. Did you know that Pogacar at this level wouldnt even be a worldclass rider 30 years ago. He wouldnt battle for the gc even tough the bikes were way heavier, it was less famous, no aerodynamics and so on. Guys like G.thomas would be domestique's. So why cant it be natural?

Bother ? That implies there was a choice in the matter?

G does not have an explosive style. He doesn't do rapid attacks. He's a powerful diesel. He couldn't follow, it's that simple.
