What are your thoughts after the first weekend of the Tour de France 2024? 🇫🇷

I'm not the first in these comments to wish for daily TdF analysis videos from Dan Lloyd. He managed to squeeze in pivotal race highlights and tactical analysis in 13+ minutes, whereas the entire commentary team at Peacock had a 7+ hour broadcast to do the same and fell short at many key moments. RIP GCN+ for race broadcasts but really glad to have access to the GCN+ Originals again via the subscription platform. Totally worth it.

Vingegaard said that he didnt want to pull on the counter hill since we felt sure that if he did Pogi would attempt to attack again.

Jonas tried to play the media and say he’s not sure if he’s in shape… clearly he’s ready to win 😂

Pog attacked almost at the top of the climb when the gradients had eased up, so we shouldn't read too much into his inability to distance Vingegaard. At most, it shows that Jonas is not uncompetitive, as many had speculated he could be.

3 stage bini Girmay amazing brilliant move against famous sprinter victory to entire Africa 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Grats on the 500.000 subs! 🎉

Marvellous analyses Dan, much appreciated are your acute insights here, and thank you for educating a fan like myself… looking forward to more of these as the tour, classics and other things move into the future… thanks again.

Any chance of Dan slipping into some daily stage commentary? In podcast form maybe?

Was Surprised to see Roglic Dropped, Thought he would push to let pog & Vinge know he is up for the challenge.

So happy to see Jonas still battling . Makes watching the gc even more interesting. Amazing to come back from an injury like that.

Love your analysis, among the most unbiased and fair. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The organizers should create a new "mutant" jersey in addition to th yellow one.

Need i remind everyone, last year Pog had a very interrupted preparation for the tour, yet for a week and a half he matched Vinegar, and indeed at one stage dropped him. Only to be found wanting for true condition in the last half. This will happen with Vinegar, only he can't drop Pog. Wouldn't get carried away kiddies!

Missing your commentary Dan ☹️ replaced currently by someone with no experience of le tour 🤦‍♂️

I am missing strongly Lloydy's commentations at the Eurosport Breakaway 😕

Great shoutout to Cillian!

The dulcet tones of Dan Lloyd? A podcast sounds like a great idea.

Evenopol looking good for the ITT. What a chase.

So with the mention of Cillian Kelly and his stats at 9:51, does that mean he's back at GCN? He posted on X/Twitter that he was no longer at GCN last month and looking for a job. Hoping he's back with a more expanded job at GCN.

In a way I am sure that this win by Bardet and van den Broek will remain the nicest , the most beautiful thing happening in this whole TdF -- for me personally !

Stage 2 coverage on the last climb is terrible. They should have 4 split screen to see where they are and the guy who won the race. Because we can't really see what happen with the other contender.

where are the highlights?

I love the tour de france 🚲🚲🚲

It’s a bit scary how competitive vingegaard is after those extreme injuries.

💯💯

Jonas is doing well

think you'll ever stream races again?

Does one membership cross all GCN channels?

In my opinion, Abrahamsen may cope well with the shorter climbs; when they hit the real long climbs it will be a different story. Until then, he shines.

Cav nowhere near the front today. Biniam FTW!!!

Does the future of the tour allow room for sprinters bikes? It just looks like bicycle design is moving away from sprinters bikes. I am sure my statement is wrong. Who is going to sprint at 60 psi and 28 tires?

Missing you on the breakaway Lloydy

Missing GCN daily TdF analysis😢

Pogacar reported to have had Covid in the build up to the tour may have levelled the playing field a little

what a Pog's fan boy))) lol

Astana needs to learn to position themselves better. It feels like they always sleep when they should be getting space. They were trying, some elbows and shoulders were traded but they need to react earlier, not in the last 10k.

people forget that this was how jonas won the last 2 tours - let pogi have the upper hand and overwork himself in the earlier parts of the race, and then creep up on him in the third week

If only Cav had been at the pointy end. This may have been his best chance. Only Classics hard men in the contest.

The big question is can Jonas do the same in week 3? Pogi can! I really hope Jonas can, we don't need a repeat of the Giro which was great racing among the minions but Pogi was, as we know, head and shoulders above them.

Pogi seems a bit fed up.

He was rocking n rolling cause this course doesn’t suit his power profile. Yet, he was able to quickly apply the breaks to the PogiXpress. 😂

Idk why everyone thinks this one small climb determinesbhow well Ving and Pog are going lol

Can you just make this type of video after every stage so I don’t have to watch Lance do 30 mins of ads 🤦‍♂️

Safe to say we need daily post race analysis.....breakaway and commentary just not the same now.

All Pogačar did was test Vingegaard and see if he would follow him. That was a 40% Pogačar attack...Wait until week 2 and 3 to see his full strength and leave Vingegaard behind ;)

so i guess Racing Downhill with wild abandonment isn't so cool now!!

No he didnt want to pull cause pogacar would use that to attack him after he would pull. Ofc if vingegaard felt extremely confident maybe he would have done that, but maybe not even as he has tried that before and it backfires to pull pogacar. IE 6 stage last year.

I like to cycle for myself but when i hear commenters is like listening to a foreign language, i don't know who's riding, i can't remember any name since they are not memorable, i don't know much of the rules either, and i definitely have no favourite

I can hold 315W (5W/kg) for a maximum of only ~8 minutes........ These beasts hold that or more for hours.

The peleton should do Cavendish a favour and gift him an easy stage, so he can own the record and withdraw as looks beaten. Unless! Its all a bluff and he comes flying out in Stage Four and absolutely obliterates with his Astana team! The sooner he has a crack at the record, the better for the race as we can focus on other storylines for upcoming cyclists, tactics. Plus Astana can focus on having a proper crack at other goals

Of course Jonas didn't want to push with pogi and help each other out. Just not fully fit

everyone testing out their new ped's

Pidcock tired from playing on his MTB...

🇵🇸🇵🇸

Is the athor way around is pogachar is the one who is in his limid if pogachar was strong why he didn't atak the beginning the clim vingegaard look good is pogachar who is in back foot Insha Allah jonasvingagaar is going to win 🏆 the 💪 🏆 toure de france 🏆 💪 🇫🇷 2024 Insha Allah

Jonas and Visma team are doppers! Cheaters! I always said it and today in the live stream they found a spectator from Denmark who bragged about how he knows Jonas very good from teenage years when they rode together for local teams but then unintentionally ousted Jonas saying that he was always below average rider who constantly got dropped and then started getting really good after he was 18. Hahaha, I knew it. You can make a case against Tadej, but Tadej was always extraordinary. He had to compete in categories higher to have challenge. I raced in Slovenia, Austria and Italy in the 90s and you'd never see a champ coming out of being average. I was never average and all those that were champion material, we'd never get dropped. The fact that Jonas suddenly rose to power and fame is just the Visma LAB thing. Lab specifically. It's very obvious, but lots of fresh cyclists are popping up following this sport and thus they're easily impressed and persuaded that Jonas is a special guy, that Wout is a special guy, that Roglic is a special guy, that Jorgenson is a special guy. That the entire Visma from 2022 and 2023 were amazing! Sure, amazing at gobbling concoctions from their LAB. Ain't no way Wout who's from a completely different world, cyclocross can perform at such high speeds as road cyclist specialists and sprinters. No way Roglic comes into cycling way late from a completely unrelated sport discipline and under Jumbo becomes a champ of road racing. Talent? Sure, but much more science than talent is the game here. And Jonas from cold ass Denmark performs amazing in heat and gets better in the 3rd week of grand Tours. A bunch of garbage masking the fact he's dopped up because his team director is greedy as shit!!! And their dirty racing is disgusting. Last Tour they forced the peloton to wait for their injured riders who were not even GC while they had Wout in the breakaway who wasn't slowing down. When Jonas saw that Tadej was in pain from his wrist injury and was shaking his hand after they reached the top of a climb Wout and Jonas started accelerating into the descent and started dropping Tadej. Total BS team and they finally got their karma this year. And now they're tryina spy and stalk their contenders w/ their stupid van. Ugh, never despised anybody as much as I do them and their weasel Jonas who pretends to be humble and is everything but that for those that have the eyes to see. I could back anybody to win over Tadej but not this guy. Something's off about him ever since he got onto the scene and that's why the general consensus in the peloton is that nobody cares about him. Most tolerate him and that's it. And stop trying to brainwash me how Danes are just such humble quiet people. Blah, blah, blah. I said when Kuss won Vuelta that Visma will fall apart. You can't be so greedy to dope up everybody and then have too many top dogs racing for Jonas only. Kuss got a taste of fame and victory and that was enough. He don't want to waste his prime years to make others famous anymore. They made a huge mistake by letting him win. It was their downfall. And they should have never forced Primoz and Wout to be super domestiques. They trained them to be winners, so they're not happy to grind themselves to dust for others. It doesn't work that way.

Lease a bike. Wacka wacka.

He followed tadje..so what ..tadje followed last year and lost.

Roglic proving Redbull is shite in a can....

First comment ❤ Thank you GCN Racing

Pogacar: does something that even ex pros call insane for the millionth time Everyone: Oh wow he's so good, and clean Eye roll

No coverage of the Tour de France I used to have? Unsubscribing right now.

Vingegaard told the journoes Why he did not pull. Does This guy know nothing?

Please make an effort to pronounce Vingegaard at least somewhat close to what it should be...
