Best rider in the world

​@@MarkTomehbest doper in the world

@@rampetampen Woudl you say the same for MvDP, WvA, Jonas?

Man looked like he’d been on a 5 day bender with his mates. Bloke looked absolutely fucked.

😂😂😂😂 They're using more than armstrong today

If you go back & watch all of Armstrong's post-race interviews during his Tour de France domination era, he was impeccably professional & courteous with the interviewers. So no need to rewrite history & dump all over the guy just to build a modern narrative.

@@cartermoth6447 he was much less courteous with its teamates or the non doping riders in the peloton.

​@@cartermoth6447I raced against Armstrong. Not a fan.

@@cartermoth6447 Ask Filippo Simeoni, David Walsh and Tyler Hamilton how professional Armstrong was.

refreshingly transparent cyclist. no riddles or games you see it when he rides and confirms it in interview. I would love for Mathieu and tadej as teammates so much mutual respect , and after 2022 you know a goal would be not necessarily yellow and green but yellow and stages. Tadej and mathieu have fun racing its great to watch. He wasnt having fun in intervoew granted lol lactate coming out his eyes

​@@ryanphelan6861There's more riders than Mathieu and Tadej that ride attractively

@@chrisbloodknot2380 the tour… RVV…liege… Amstel… his country.. need I go on? Don’t be a hater

@@chrisbloodknot2380 😂 I’m childish? All I said was he was a great champion which he is, you came at me on a comment section of a video of someone who it appears you don’t appreciate.

Champion?? MvdP is the champion ... Pogacar lost.

Exactly, mais calmez vous sur vos émotions, ma chère....😂

Only 50 cyclists finished the race. Imaginee

I think he was just too tired to be disappointed at that point 😂😂

Mvdp se fait une belle saison aussi avec le cyclo-cross quand même le titre aussi …. c’est un des trois à chaque fois de toutes manières

The Doha podium was pretty good, too (Sagan, Boonan, Cavendish).

absolutely! no one except Tadej can do PODIUM in a TdF or in a Monumental or in a World Championship. Pogacar is incredible... but most of people know nothing about road cycling.

you can add "ever" to that sentence :D

@@kingjasko still no.... the best "ever" is Eddie Merckx ... but Pogi has only 24, will see.

We are so lucky to have this generation. Having Pogi, Would, Mathieu and Pedersen fighting for the worlds is a dream come true

@@waitbalthy6342 so lucky 4 best one day riders they show it every spring. Add bad weather these guys have even more advantage theyre incredible sean kelly was last that raced like these guys I think and that was almost 40 years. Such pleasure to have riders targeting these prestigious races and not just largest prize. Im sure it helps their marketability but thats coincidene to them they are just awesome.

Right. After how rough a few year he’s had with injuries and TdF, this 3rd place is actually insane. I’m sure we’ll see him in the Rainbow Jersey in the next few years.

I think he continued to try to win. Everyone was suffering today.

he was love tadej it wasn;t a race for GC style rider or climber although tadej is much more than that obviously but of GC guys remco and tadej have best shot on this F1 style course and remco even faded. Hoe he gains more fans even I think remco can be divisive but he didnt ride his while life like mads, tadej, wout, VDP so on such technical course its amazing how fast he learns. Still trying double too in ITT that deserves lots of respect. Always been fan/jealous of his talent :) becoming fan of him. Imagineif tadej had primoz, mohoric, and tratnijk on his team two monument winners GTwinner and world class ITT specialist. Its amazing tadej is just always in mix such a pure racer.

come on, tadej because his injury doesn't have a good previous preparation and did a terrible, exhausting tour de france, instead MVDP RESTED in the whole TDF, finishing in the 100 place.

@@mondociaociao Resting in the Tour de France hahahahaha, what a joke. He didn't ride all stages? He didn't work for Philipsen?

​@@ettioare you seriously comparing VDP efforts in the TdF with tadej's?

@@ettio if you (as a taliban fan) want to invent another tour, ok, no problem, but in the WHOLE tdf he only leadout Philipsen in two (2) stages, the rest of the stages (19) he was absolutely DISAPPAREAD ... finishing in the last positions.

@@npa5825 @ettio and similar people are taliban fan and knows NOTHING about road cycling, except the result of the last race 😄😄😄

Second bronse. WC 2001 - Andrej Hauptman won first

Wait that is the guy that is currently on UAE right?

@anejtomazic5423 Yes, he is DS of UAE

this guy is a miracle, he was injured, no good previous preparation, exhausting TDF (MVDP rested the entire tour de france, finishing in the 100 position) and... take the 3rd place! no one can compite successfully in both type of races (tour and one day race).

What does he even have left. Canadian classics and Lombardia right?

@@anejtomazic5423 What I know: 3th of September Bretagne classics (I hope he skips it), 7 of October Lombardia (he would be rest in October). About Canadian classics I don't know.

It’s amazing that he finished 3rd on a course like this. This kind of race doesn’t suit him or Jonas the most. It shows Tadej is the most complete rider in the world. He would destroy MVDP on hillier rides.

@@MarkTomeh he won flanders... amstel, fleche.... this parcous totally suits him as he's very explosive. dont make up excuses, i think tadej did some tactical mistakes because he was closing a lot of attacks and lost a lot of energy early on.

@@AndrezzSpideyzzz Almost all terrain suits Tadej. It’s a credit to the amazing bike rider be is. He was definitely capable of winning this but tougher mountain terrain suits him even more. If this course had a category 2 or higher climb he would’ve won. Yes he made some tactical mistakes for sure. Margin for error is smaller on this type of course where riders like MVDP, WVA thrive. Puncheurs and classics specialists and even sprinters do well on these courses.

@@AndrezzSpideyzzz there he has UAE team around this race he was alone. Wount had whole squad around him all the time and he just had more energy on the end for 2nd place.

@@AndrezzSpideyzzzwatch flanders and amstel again. Yes, they’re punchy races but the climbs are longer than a mere sprint to the top like the ones here. Not enough sustained effort uphill for him to win against mvdp. Not to mention his lack of team today but that doesn’t seem to make a huge difference for him in general.

Is this true?

@@edwardojg yes, during the race he stretched the back and the legs (pain) and after he arrived he was dizzy, exhausted.

@@mondociaociao hopefully just strain from the race and nothing serious

Sad Mads couldn't also get a medal, these 4 riders were clearly the strongest of them all

You didn't need that, you have a cooked life, watch yourself in the mirror.

Category 3 would be enough

@@mumblerapkilla5406 yes it would

It’s a credit to how amazing Tadej is that he can compete in pretty much any bike race and have a chance to win.

"Not bad for a climber" you know this is a bit disrespectull right. He is not just a climber he is the best allround rider in the world right now. Also he is together with van der poel and van aert the best one day tour riders.

@@renevb196you are absolutely right. Tadej is the best and most complete rider in the world. He can win pretty much any type of race.

@@renevb196 Yes, it's meant in an ironic way. Some people are irritated/annoyed/jealous that Pog is able to win Classics as well as the TdF. I live in Slovenia and am the first to defend Tadej when people accuse him of doping. It is actually 'they' that say that he is a pure climber and that there is no way that he should be able to win Classics against the likes of MVP and WVA.

​@@yogawithandy ok got you👍

Still crying

Says the man probably with a fat belly on the couch all day

Rageux

Van Aert and Pedersen did the same in the Classics. You learn from everything.

please show us your palmares.

@@parawboracay4078 I'm not at all a die hard fan of pogacar but Hé attacked many times on the climbs trying to avoid the sprint against WVA and Pedersen... He could't so He played the sprint. It's just a logical choice from him.

lol you cleary don't watch much cycling

He was covering all the attacks the whole race. Even the commentators were surprised and were pointing that out. He had no teammates. Wout had 5 guys all the time around him. Last two laps he was done and he was still trying to attack all the climbs. That 3rd place was well deserved!

😂

@@Flexy1234 Pedersen was covering just as many attacks and even attacked himself. Pogacar was freewheeling, the other guys deserved it more.

​​​@@frederikbrandt424not true. Pogi attacked more. Watch it again. That pogi was in the wheel of pedersen the last mile is tactics. Van aert and pedersen won races as well with the same tactic. It is just a part of racing. Deal with it. Btw calling it freeweeling is funny to me. Like they didnt race 270km in one of the hardest races we saw in modern times.

@@renevb196 Pogacar attacked more while chasing down Bettiol and MVDP that much is true, since he took way fewer hard leads than the others. Pedersen attacked more throughout the stage though and more hard attacks. The stage being tough has nothing to do with freewheeling because the others didn’t sit over like him. It’s relative. It’s funny because when Vingegaard does it in the tour to Pogi he gets slandered but when it’s Pogi it’s just “smart tactics”

Ok wada commisioner apollonius
