@@ChrisHornerCycling Btw, Wout's new son is named Jerome. In the Belgian cartoon strip 'Suske & Wiske', Jerome is the 'muscleman'; the power! Nobody messes with him!
I especially love how Victor Campenaerts did a second sprint, after blowing, just in front of the bunch sprint to present himself as road furniture... Today he made the brakeaway win... He's the hero the world tour needs so desperately!
@@JohnDoe-kg6gy Blocking the path for other riders and when Eenkhorn squeezes past on the side, he somehow felt the need to chase him to "have a chat" and cut Eenkhorns path of not once but twice. that is ARROGANCE. Also I have no idea what you are going on about sprints for....
Great analysis of stage 18! Watching Jasper push another rider around like that without any penalty was just crazy! So much talent yet he will be remembered for his poor sportsmanship! Always look forward to your break downs of every stage!!
Your man Victor Campenaerts denies the sprinters and everyone else. Great finish by Kasper with a little help from his friend, Julian the troublemaker! Great fun when the breakaway wins a close one.
I was yelling “MY MAN VICTOR CAMPERNAUTZ!!!” at the tv from the Chesterfield this morning. Thank you Chris Horner for making cycling so much more enjoyable to watch! 🫶🏻
I thought Julian was masterclaass. Disrupting the chase tactically even getting into some spats. You know that had to throw the rhythm off and buy the break another 5-10 seconds to survive. If i was Pascal i would make it my lifes side mission in my cycling career to annoy and make life harder for Jasper anytime the paths cross. Its petty i know but that really pissed me off! lol
Love that breakaway made it and what Campernaets did on that final pull. Asgreen needs to buy him a beer. Tomorrow is desperation time as many teams have nothing to show.
Completely agree. Jala was disruptive without being dangerous, was a thing of beauty to watch, working to stay at the front for over 20km. JP’s actions should have at the least been sanctioned, disgusting behaviour.
I love it when the break away wins! Our man Victor had an awesome day And as for Jasper and his bullying, other riders was pretty pathetic. I loved what Lotto did! And it paid off! Jaspers 4 wins went to his head!! Uno X had a great day also, along with lotto! I really liked this stage. I was so into this stage I did 30 miles on the trainer. Great job Chris!! I thought they should have done something to Jasper!
I had Cipo once all up set at me my first or second year in Europe. I looked up at him (he’s much bigger then me ;) and said, I’m still not going to work with you and your guys and then smiled and sat on. There’s always someone trying to bully some one else out there so they can get you to do something that helps them. 😬🦋👍
It was hilarious when GCN interviewed the DS of Alpecin in the car a few minutes after the incident and he pretended that they could not see the feed of the incident because of a tree. The GCN guys were cracking up and so was I 😂.
Right. Chances of him winning anything is so small, yet barely a stage passes without him showing up and doing something crazy that’s highly entertaining. 😜👊🦋
The peloton will do no such thing, Julian is very capable of riding too hard and blowing himself up, thank you very much. In reality no one will actually do anything about it, because if the situation were reversed they would've done the same thing.
@@N2theLAS I have rarely seen someone being so obnoxious about it, I guarantee you that he won't win a stage In the final 3 stages, he's nowhere near his best level anymore
@@BronnyJamesBricks True, he might not win any of the final 3 stages, but it won't be because the peloton holds a grudge against him, it will be just like you said, because he's nowhere near his best.
As exciting as this years TDF has been, the only thing lacking has been the in-studio analysis… Chris breaking down the strategy of each stage is the energy that’s been missing… btw, 10 more meters, I think Philipsen pulls into the top 3… 🍻
To be honest, I now watch the ad free(!!!) world feed and those guys (Ant and Nico) are very good, with Nico having similar experience to Chris and generally similar takes to him too 👍 And then I wait for the 🦋 effect!
@@wildly_heather plus Nico is the nearest thing to Chris during the race (similar experience with similar tactical opinions and knowledge) 👍 with the no ads bonus!
@chris you have called Victor ‘Ma Man’ from the very outset and now we got to see why, his role was epic as was your critical view of peleton, Alpeciene and MVP. Julians role-play deserved to be highlighted as you did and the last bit on travel advisory 😂was hilarious 😂What an outstanding video , we cant Thank You enough
Gotta give the Soudal Wolfpack some credit here with Alaphilippe and Declercq causing chaos in the peloton. Quality win for Quickstep, even though it wasn’t with Alaphilippe like I thought it needed to be.
When I watched the race I thought. I might be done quickly with todays video. Then I went back to get all the photos and catch some the “little details” of the race. By time I was have way I knew it’s want going to be a short video. Today was one of those few days where waiting to hear the interviews after the race was so worth it. 😂👊🦋
"Trek Segafredo"?! 😉😆 I can't get over Your Man Victor! 😳 I swear I watched the last few km with my jaw on the floor. This is certainly the Tour that just keeps giving!
Wow, Chris, there was a lot more to that race than I realized watching it live. Thank you for this incredible insight. Learned a lot and laughed a bunch too!
Really loved this stage! Personally thought Eenkhoorn played the biggest role in this stage, imo the breakaway was dying a slow death until he came across and started pulling really big in front as well, gave the breakaway the spice it needed! But also, a lot of respect for mah man, he worked extremely hard and also brought Eenkhoorn to the front, really loved the efforts of lotto destiny
Today was a fun stage. So much happened that you just normally don’t get on a flat sprinter stage. When the stage finishes I thought, this going to a good video. 👊🦋🔥
Always look forward to the Butterfly Effect on a day when MMVC plays a big role. Loved seeing him out there doing his thing - he's been a joy to watch this TdF. Surprised to hear more about JA than JP antics on the stage. I was pretty pleased to see MMVC playing such a big part of keeping JP from a 5th cake after JP's mid-stage antics.
Good breakdown Chris. You had me cracking up calling out the knuckleheads. And how come Jasper keeps pushing and shoving folks around without repercussions? Like are they just not concerned about his actions. And you gotta love Alaphillipe giving them lip. Hahahaa. Check you aging tomorrow and thanks for the hilarious breakdown.
One of the commentators said that victor is “about as bright as a tunnel” when he went back for his teammate. Happy that the main man got his revenge! (Nearly)
If you listen to Mørkøvs interview, you'll hear that he knew what was possible and what was going down. He's been in the game for so long, he's not the strongest or fastest perhaps, but like Tim says, he knows what to do in an ever changing peleton!
Such a strong ride by Campenaerts! And what a dedication to his fellow rider at the end of the race. And what a chaos caused by Allaphilipe (and Declerq)! This was a pure delight to watch! And no victory for Jasper the Disaster...😛
Something is bugging that guy this tour - some of his actions are outrageous. He's a very talented sprinter but must be losing the respect of many who ride with him and who will get their opportunity 'not to help him'.
Keepin' it real. Chris your skill as a tactical analyzer is on par with the late John Madden ( RIP) from the NFL. You know all the strategies and the though processes going through a riders head. Very exciting stuff. At the finish the Peloton had to be going close to 45 mph. Unreal. Great Job, again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The guy is still very young in cycling terms and I'm sure he will be back with a bang soon. He has the noble spirit of great sportsmen - it is important to be gracious in defeat and he always is.
@ChrisHornerCycling Cedric Vasseur seeing Pogi too much focusing on one day races + not enough stage race preparations. Your thoughts? th-cam.com/video/LrGyvmycwqs/w-d-xo.html
Not only did "Your MAN" Victor churn through that awesome leadout, but did you catch that he peeled off to the right barriers, then when his three banditos passed him, he pedaled back into the middle, somewhat forcing Jasper P to deviate left? What a subtle "payback"(!) to Philipsen, and a brilliant tactic to ensure a breakaway victory. 🎉😂😂🎉
Campernaerts is a true ambassador for the sport. 100% passion. Shame that him and enkhoorn didn't pull it off, but what a masterclass from Asgreen! He kept his cool just like in flanders. That guy Abrahamsen is a tour stage winner in the making! Im sure that we will see more from him in the coming years.
Victor Campenaerts sacrificing himself so the break could succeed at the end was beautiful. I also like that Julian Alaphillippe used his power and brains to give Asgreen a shot at the stage victory. Disaster is rapidly losing fans. Every single stage this year has been interesting. 👍Thank you for the great analysis, Chris. It'a a great way to wind down and revisit each stage in the evening.
I agrre with all you've written. I kind of wish all four breakaway riders could have shared the win but I know that's not how it works - a genuinely exciting, knife-edged section yesterday. As for Philipsen, it's difficult to understand why he's not had sanctions against him yet this tour.
You also have to appreciate the tactic of the breakaway by constantly staying in affordable distance from the peleton, not too far away to look like a threat and not too close as it would be useless... just enough distance to potentially lure other mavericks from the peleton to come join them.
Don't rule out Krists Neilandts for the Most Combative award... even if you're all screaming MY MAN VICTOR CAMPENAERTS! :D You guys should have seen the danish and norvegian commenators in the box... lol! Michael Mørkøv in the postrace interview said, that at 50 K to go, all the sprinterteams started blowing up so he knew then that the breakaway stood a decent chance. This is what the third week does! Not to take anything away from Victor, but Asgreen actually did most of the pulling throughout the day, percentage-wise. He thanked all 3 breakaway-riders too. Class rider! Laughed with you at the Soudal-Quickstep shenanigans at at the Bunch-Badgering! :P Awesome analysis as ever, Chris! 🤜to you son, too, awesome editing and end-screen/outro, still laughing! 😂
In an interview with campenaerts only words said between Campenaerts and eenkhoorn. Niet snokken ( Don't accellerate pulling ) and Pascal, you will do the sprint ( at 10k out ).
Chris, please do a video with some stories of you and Victor so we can get a better understanding of where your enthusiasm comes from when it involves him.
thats very true what you said and exactly what i was thinking, specially cuz i think van der Poel will try to win the stage himself tomorrow, so then he could have had a nice effort pulling the guys in front back. but i think the problem is that Matthieu only started leading out the sprint for Philipsen this season really, so he isnt experienced at all.
During the TT was training power at slow RPM’s on. The climb and today he was training power at fast RPM’s for 185k. I love this dude. Non stop entertainment. 😂👊🦋❤️
I think you’re describing the perfect storm for a 3 man break to succeed. Asgren couldn’t have known MMVC would be the reason for the opportunity to win. Because MMVC took some incredible pulls right there in the last K.
Thanks. That’s the reason we started the channel. Every body on TH-cam and most live coverage are doing a “Recap coverage” of the race because they want to post 5min after the race ha finished or are worried the fans won’t understand what you saying if you go into detail of any tactics being used. I can make a “recap video” by looking at the finishing times on the race results and won’t even have to watch much of the racing to do it. Because there is no way you can find all the details of what’s really happened during a race when you post five mins after it finished. It takes me two hours minimum just to go back after the race has finished and find all the details that explain the why and how things affected the race later on at the finish. Then I enjoy giving a story or two with it and throwing in a bit of coaching. I’m glad you have been enjoy them. 👊🦋🙏

@@charliedillon1400 Yes - that was an amazing, true to the butterfly effect, little extra nail in the sprinters' "coffins" 😆
Was so happy when he pulled so hard and stayed in the middle. Only thing is his teammate eekhorn did not win but hopefully asgreen buys him a beer.
🦸👊🦋
Kasper Asgreen also owes a big thank you to MY MAN for the lead out :)
My Man Victor Campenaerts made SURE the break did NOT get caught! Hero status 💯! My legs got crampy just watching that last pull. EPIC

Love a breakaway win this way

I am glad the breakaway won!
Makes me hope Jasper does NOT win on the Champs d'Elysee!
Me too. I love that. Sure Eenkhorn was laughing after the stage was finished. 😂👊🦋
Since when wanting to win everything is arrogance?
He is a sprinter and that's is what a successful sprinter does:
WINNING SPRINTS

I was going crazy. Hehehe 👊🦋💪😜
Jasper the "karen" of the peloton doesn't want attacks, he wants to crash you out on the finish line!!
Spot on Jimmy😂
LOL
Agreed. Philipsen is wholly unlikeable. Worst Green Jersey in years... Wouldn't feel bad if someone wiped him out...
I just don’t understand his behavior this tour.
That idiot thought he won that one stage last year when Wout VA flew to the breakaway finish like a hawk
Wout did the right thing today by going home to his wife. Family is everything.
It's impressive he showed up and battled until his man basically clinched the win.
Today I finally understood why Campanaerts is your man.
I've waited all day to hear you say "My man, mister Viktah Campenahts!"

Your man Victor Campenaerts denies the sprinters and everyone else. Great finish by Kasper with a little help from his friend,

I thought Julian was masterclaass. Disrupting the chase tactically even getting into some spats. You know that had to throw the rhythm off and buy the break another 5-10 seconds to survive.
If i was Pascal i would make it my lifes side mission in my cycling career to annoy and make life harder for Jasper anytime the paths cross. Its petty i know but that really pissed me off! lol
Petty revenge is the best revenge. I’d do the same, try to box him in on every sprint stage.
I would have looked over at Jasper and said directly, you better watch out when we near the finish line of every sprint stage that’s left here. 🤔🦋😬
The Knucklehead count should be strong today. I'm going for 12 shouts.

Love that breakaway made it and what Campernaets did on that final pull. Asgreen needs to buy him a beer. Tomorrow is desperation time as many teams have nothing to show.

Don't rule out Krists Neilandts for the Most Combative award... even if you're all screaming MY MAN VICTOR CAMPENAERTS! :D
You guys should have seen the danish and norvegian commenators in the box... lol!
Michael Mørkøv in the postrace interview said, that at 50 K to go, all the sprinterteams started blowing up so he knew then that the breakaway stood a decent chance. This is what the third week does!
Not to take anything away from Victor, but Asgreen actually did most of the pulling throughout the day, percentage-wise. He thanked all 3 breakaway-riders too. Class rider!
Laughed with you at the Soudal-Quickstep shenanigans at at the Bunch-Badgering! :P Awesome analysis as ever, Chris! 🤜to you son, too, awesome editing and end-screen/outro, still laughing! 😂
On Danish TV, Asgreen said the breakaway riders didn't exchange a word. Makes their combined TTT the more impressive. No words needed.
In an interview with campenaerts only words said between Campenaerts and eenkhoorn. Niet snokken ( Don't accellerate pulling ) and Pascal, you will do the sprint ( at 10k out ).
Chris, please do a video with some stories of you and Victor so we can get a better understanding of where your enthusiasm comes from when it involves him.
Wow, a lot going on in this stage! Thank you for the excellent and in depth explanations!!
thats very true what you said and exactly what i was thinking, specially cuz i think van der Poel will try to win the stage himself tomorrow, so then he could have had a nice effort pulling the guys in front back. but i think the problem is that Matthieu only started leading out the sprint for Philipsen this season really, so he isnt experienced at all.
Watched a Phil Giman recap and he said something to the effect of Vic C equals 7 guys in the break lol
Campenaerts just practicing for another Hour World Record try. (and get invites to a couple criteriums).
During the TT was training power at slow RPM’s on. The climb and today he was training power at fast RPM’s for 185k. I love this dude. Non stop entertainment. 😂👊🦋❤️
@@ChrisHornerCycling There are a few riders I just don't get; Campenaerts is one of them.
liked and subscribed! I hope Allaphilipe is safe and sound, hahahaha.
Your simply the best
I think you’re describing the perfect storm for a 3 man break to succeed. Asgren couldn’t have known MMVC would be the reason for the opportunity to win. Because MMVC took some incredible pulls right there in the last K.
Why is this the only place I can find out what really happened? Thanks Chris.
Chris is good at describing racing and gets into strategy and mixes a nice dose of humor.
Thanks. That’s the reason we started the channel. Every body on TH-cam and most live coverage are doing a “Recap coverage” of the race because they want to post 5min after the race ha finished or are worried the fans won’t understand what you saying if you go into detail of any tactics being used. I can make a “recap video” by looking at the finishing times on the race results and won’t even have to watch much of the racing to do it. Because there is no way you can find all the details of what’s really happened during a race when you post five mins after it finished. It takes me two hours minimum just to go back after the race has finished and find all the details that explain the why and how things affected the race later on at the finish. Then I enjoy giving a story or two with it and throwing in a bit of coaching. I’m glad you have been enjoy them. 👊🦋🙏
Thank you Chris
