One of the most iconic for sure, together with Paris Roubaix.

Never fails to entertain and create interesting races

Out of this world, for sure. I was lost for words 😵😵

Do you have some power data how many watts he produced?

@@philipp9775 over 9000

After watching what he can do in cyclocross racing, I am not surprised that he can be this brutal. Simply exciting to watch him race

@@adityanoorfauzi5792 🤣

Impressive from Matthieu aswell

yess

niche reference, but i love it.

Unbelievable watts exactly

This level of entertainment is insane.

From a great cycling family..

Hirschi?

@@martijnprinzen7124 this aged poorly

Like MvdP have nightmares last year at Strade and MSR.

@@mathieuvanderpoel4007 in Strade 2020 he Got a flat Tire at bad timing , after that he was exhausted. And MSR is not that big of a nightmare for him , Jasper stuyven won , not Wva or Julian alaphillipe. Even if they win it is great sportmanship

also italians, really impressive

Yh, i know, he has not a good day

But it was his first competition ride this year ...so 4 th isnt that bad.

@@pinzgauerbelgium yeah mine was a compliment actually, it shows how good he always performs in this race. I'm pretty sure he'll win it again one day

It's Mathieu

I know I thought that

If only I could remember who he was riding for at the time...

I think it’s his old bike from last year

@@TheDreamtheaterlover same bike different handlebars

Yeah it is... Adrie van der Poel as a dad, and Raymond Poulidor's genes via mom's side...

Time in classics races is not a realible measure,It depends from the peloton's pace most of the time.

Even faster in 2008 but what does it mean? It was not the same distance for starters.

Nope

@@mathieuvanderpoel4007 who then

@@oranjetoeters1 i meant there is no argument.

I believe egan knows he is not ready yet ,still in tapping mode.His target is just to join 1st group. And u can see the best of out of him in next race or 2

I love it when people be like: "Why did he not just padel harder and win??".

@@brunospasta don’t get me wrong! I am just wondering if it was a strategic decision or he was just close to his limit! I would never dare to question there effort!!

He does not need to be. The team he's in is completely build around him. This team also allows him to ride multiple disciplines, like MTB and cyclocross. If they want they can enter any GT, because they became first in the UCI Pro standings last year. Another question is, does MVDP need teammates at all to win races?

@@lucasswerts4526 Probably Alpecin will join WT in the next licence revision. As you said, they're on startlist for all three grand-tours, all important one-week races and classics Yes, he needs teammates. When he was winning classics 2 years ago, he gained much attention and many teams started to think how to stop MVDP tactically. It is actually more difficult for him to win classics on his own because more teams know what to expect from him. It is even harder because MVDP is going to ride classics more frequently and the fatigue can appear on April. So, it was necessary to hire more world-class domestiques. Modolo, Meurisse, Dillier, Vermeesch, Rickaert, De Bondt, Vakoc and many more make this team completely different and more WT level as Corendon looked two years ago. I don't agree that Alpecin is built completely around MVDP. Philipsen and Merlier will have many sprint opportunities, probably each of them will try Tour and Giro flat stages. Some riders will try their luck in breaks, in WT races where MVDP won't appear (he can't ride everything). Dutchman is the team main superstar but better riders will come year-by-year because Alpecin will be able to offer them something.

Wasn't it per minute? Surprised he didn't bonk. I suppose if one of the world's best needs it, producing not far of double the average cyclists power, I need a minimum of 120g on my tuesday night noodle?
