If magical powers gave me the strength to participate in one race, that race would be Paris-Roubaix. The distance, the cobbles, the history, the velodrome, and the famous showers, all bestow a legendary quality on the race. Love Paris-Roubaix.
Greatest thing in the world to hear Bobke with Phil. I miss Paul so much, but it's like being with close friends to hear these two I've been listen to for decades. Thanks, NBC, Phil and Bob.
I just love how when Wout Van Aert switches bikes (@ 11:12) he doesnt throw the bike he just places it down. Big sign of respect for equipment and for all!!!
Wout Van Aert will win that race in a year or two. He showed more heart than I have seen in a long time. He looked a little nervous though. He is young and will figure that out.
I think van der Poel is also made for these types of races, really excited to see the battle between these two riders. Hope van Aert can reach his old level...
I haven't heard Phil commentate since....yeah. Very hard not to think of it. Phil I'm sure you're sick but I also hear the loss in your voice. Thanks for carrying on commentating, cycling needs you now as much as ever. The good news is you have Bobke by your side, the affable American, I wish you both good speed as you set out as a commentary team this year. It was great to hear the commentary. I do agree with others who commented about the editing - the music - being "rather a bit much," as a British speaker might say. But it's great to hear Phil and Bobke.
Just hit me. After 20 years Of looking forward to tdf, Really Gonna miss Paul’s significant intelligent contributions. Bob is good. I will be watching (good luck) Phil and Bob.
Such a fascinating history. Some towns would not allow the race to come through because they thought publicly displaying "shoddy" roads would be bad for tourism. As the race became more prestigious some towns actively searched for any cobble sections they could find to bring the race there.
you didn't even bother to finish the video. the crashes was just the first part because after 4:30, It's all about the important highlights of the race.
@Smattless Paris-Roubaix is not Parix-Roubaix without crashes. That's why its the most wonderful race to watch because it's a race of attrition, survival of the fittest. Also, I'm not defending anything. As what I have said, the other half of the video is all about the important part of the race and not crashes just like what the original commenter said.
back to back mistakes on the velo finish. front rider should be in the bottom of velo instead of top to avoid the launch for sprint. Happened last year and it happened again this year.
this is pretty bad. the race is more than just crashes. we need a little more build up of the narrative of how hard and epic this race is before showing a bunch of people falling over. it ends up making these guys look like a bunch of amateurs. AND the music AND the spoiler. come on, y'all.
At least NBCSN posts this as I recorded what I thought was the entire race only to have it preempted by hockey highlights and then stopping 9.7 km to the finish.
thanks nbc sports for showing the highlights.seeing how I missed the last 25 minuites of race I had recorded due to starting late.because I guess you think hockey is a better sport....lame.anyway good race as always.bob is great.but I'll always miss pauls insight and witt.
He knew he was gonna lose. Gilbert is faster and the way he dropped Politt with 50k to go and the ease with which he closed the gap when Politt went with 14k to go, you knew he was stronger too.
So the music is not that big a deal like some of the other guys are crying about. The spoiler in the thumbnail is poor form. These highlights were ok to watch.
The Tour de France's highlight package of this race does a better job of showcasing the race than this poorly edited version. This is like watching a football highlight reel were they feature only the incompleted passes and then show you the winning touchdown.
If i were the katushcha rider, i would've just slammed on the brakes with 2ks to go, rather than play leadout for another team... hmmm i wonder what was going on in his mind.
When I first saw the length of the video, I thought this was gonna be a better highlights than Eurosport's. But with the unneccessary, horrible sappy music which I can't even call background anymore it's so intrusive, and showing only the crashes for 4 minutes, this is ridiculous. This doesn't do the riders, the race, the fans or the viewers justice. Lose the music next time and show the attacks, not the crashes. Those are only important if they take a favourite out of the race.
Is this what NAS CAR fans feel like? I mean when the most exiting things are crushes in the race and how to Evade the road, you have got to ask yourself where is this sport going.
This is a bad highlight reel. I'm sorry but Americans don't get what cycling is all about if you look at this reel. It's so much better here in belgium. This video gives cycling a bad name.

Well the majority of Roubaix victories are Belgian, so perhaps that's the superpower you need? :P

Big ups to bobke, 5 starts, 5 finishs.
This should be called "Paris Roubaix 2019 - Crash Complilation"
100 percent
I just love how when Wout Van Aert switches bikes (@ 11:12) he doesnt throw the bike he just places it down. Big sign of respect for equipment and for all!!!
So, that makes 4 of the Monuments for Gilbert. One of the great riders.
That's an understatement :)

@@jens5905 WVA just won his first monument (Milan-San Remo) and his first Strade Bianche.
@@rodrigoescobar8137 and more.
RIP Paul Sherwen. We miss you.
Big compliment for Philippe and his performances. Nobody else is able to win such different races.
Bobke's commentary is awesome. Really enjoyed hearing him at the race.
I cannot believe Politt would lead out and then stay high so Gilbert could drop below him with speed and the shortest way around the track. Mon dieu!
Paris Roubaix n Strade Bianche are my fave classics. Brutal races!
None more brutal than P-R
Best trophy in sports

Brutal. Cycling is the most brutal sport on the planet, more then any combat. Crashes plus doping!
the video was great except the background music, it's distracting.
and why did they put so much emphasis on the falls? I mean thats not what cycling is.
@@felixbelair9251 It's made for Americans. Crashes and emotional music is required
Every year, such a great race it doesn't need a soundtrack.
Such a fascinating history. Some towns would not allow the race to come through because they thought publicly displaying "shoddy" roads would be bad for tourism. As the race became more prestigious some towns actively searched for any cobble sections they could find to bring the race there.
awesome video!
if the guy in the red helmet didn't look back so often he may have saved enough energy to win 😂
Why does Sagan have Slovinian flag instead Slovakian next to his name at the Final results?
Thank you.
Superb highlight wrap up
Such a legendary race
my favourite cycling race
and condolences for the friends and family of Michael Goolaerts
I will do anything NBC, just please more cycling youtube videos
That mini skid there and the commentators almost came :D
What a rider
Horrible summary of the race. Just crashes... Cycling is not about crashing!
Prais-Roubaix is
Media puts out what captures our attention.. so be it.. Hats down to the world pros!
Crashing is not the central focus, but is certainly a part of cycling, especially at that level.
you didn't even bother to finish the video. the crashes was just the first part because after 4:30, It's all about the important highlights of the race.

canyon and Specialized are really at the top of their game.
Melhor resumo de prova que já assisti.

lol it's a really bad edit
You can also watch the entire race if you want to see everything.
@@veganpotterthevegan i did, VT. we're talking about this edit.
Stop complaining It's awesome highlight
american amateur media for you
Congratulations Phil, you made my day :-)
Vitória bonita deste grande ciclista!
are those: gravel bikes, cyclocross bikes or standard race bikes ?????????????
At least NBCSN posts this as I recorded what I thought was the entire race only to have it preempted by hockey highlights and then stopping 9.7 km to the finish.
Same happened to me!

WTF is with the spoiler thumbnail NBC and the horrific music?
Wout Van Aert is the perfect portrayal of the Classics.. well done Gilbert. Bravo
Ummm what’s up with peter Sagan and EF Rider at 9:40 ?? Right corner screen lol
They still had a lap left at that point.
I thought this would be a video of racing, I only saw crashes so I gave up.
Great race. The music, not so much.
Team Lotto Jumbo not sending a rider to help Van Aert must have been one of the fails of the year
what's with the orchestra music?
10:28 jow peter sagan is slovakian not slovenian
What’s up with the music this is cycling and not an avengers movie 😂
How amateur do you have to be to spoil the race in a thumbnail? Pay your interns, dammit.
watch the race if you don't want to be spoiled
@@LF-hj8kk not everyone can, you understanding person, you.
For NBC Sports "highlights" apparently means listing crashes. A fine demonstration of not understanding what cycling is about.
@clean cyclist He he 🤘
It’s all the pain and suffering that makes the victory so beautiful.
highlights being crashes?!!!???!! The race coverage didn't really come till 4.14
Interesting to see Politt lead the final sprint and open the inside lane for Gilbert to go right through. Odd choice.
He knew he was gonna lose. Gilbert is faster and the way he dropped Politt with 50k to go and the ease with which he closed the gap when Politt went with 14k to go, you knew he was stronger too.
...and if Politt doesn't lead, then Gilbert leads, lets Lampaert come back...then Gilbert attacks again.
Politt was in a tough spot.
dclark142002 there was no way Lampaert was coming back in the velodrome unless they literally stopped tho
AARGH if there's going to be backggound music at least make it something fast paced and exciting to match the race.
Wonderful highlights. Open region (Asia) to watch more videos plzzz, thanks 🙏
Lots of little crashes, any moves by any teams?
So the music is not that big a deal like some of the other guys are crying about. The spoiler in the thumbnail is poor form. These highlights were ok to watch.
This race.
Forever a strongman
I'm always amazed that the Brits don't do better on the cobbles. I mean we've got the whole of the road network to train on.
you are not tough enough..
@@ONCEuponAtime999 yeah... can only win the grand tours... wimps :)
@@stigstiggson with the richest team and best doping system..
chapeau Gilbert
This is a video of lowlights, not highlights
The Tour de France's highlight package of this race does a better job of showcasing the race than this poorly edited version. This is like watching a football highlight reel were they feature only the incompleted passes and then show you the winning touchdown.
PLEASE scrap the music in future (and both commentators).
🤔highlights? Or just all the crashes??
That music ....horrific.
hahaha why would you put music under this
Appreciate the summary but please dump the music. Its unnecessary and annoying - Phil and Bob are all we need.
who si ven Earth?
Aesome video, terrible back song. It would be better with no music
The head wolf!
If i were the katushcha rider, i would've just slammed on the brakes with 2ks to go, rather than play leadout for another team... hmmm i wonder what was going on in his mind.
Lampaert woulda come back and that wasn't in his best interest to give Gilbert a teammate
I miss Paul Sherwin’s voice
Way to give away the winner in the thumbnail
Nils will return to win this race🚴🏽💦
That was poorly done NBC. Thanks for the spoiler. That 1984 music.
Bianchi Italia
Финиш когда оба на пустых, но Жильбер чуть больше сохранил
Very poor editing. Clips of crashes and spills is not highlights of the racing. And the music? What's that all about. Gave up watching.
ffs lose the soundtrack! urrrrrrrr.............
Music over the top is, er, over the top.
Missing Favian "Spartacus" Cancellara.....
6hrs of racing and your trophy is a brick.... harsh
Music is very annoying
This is just highlights of crashes.
Excruciating commentary and the crash montage went on about 5mins longer than necessary!

I still feel bad for Vanmarcke again a mechanical issue on an important moment
Thanks for spoiling the highlights.....

At 00:16 You can see the 24oz BUDWEISER cans on the Ground....No wonder they CRASHED thier DRUNK....🤔🤔🤔🤔
Fabian cançellaria vs Phillip
Crash tiesj benoot?
The music? Yuck.
J'ai mal partout juste à regardé .
Dat ze deze winnaar hebben thuis gelaten van de tour is onmenselijk.ploegbaas is een eikel.
Bobke and that music made that almost unwatchable. WvA saved it.
I just realized that's Bobke's voice. Jolly good guy😂
oh my sagan...
OMG, the theatrical theme music is horrible. Jeez.
And is the commentary fake? (Added afterwards, for this particular video?)
