Wout's giving Laporte the win shows how much of a class act, gentleman Wout is. Clearly TJV has great chemistry (haha) and a gesture like Wout's is also a note to other team members... you will get rewarded for hard work.
I always enjoy hearing stories of the faster guys rolling with the more average riders and taking in the experience that we do. It always seems like it sheds a new light on you and makes you appreciate it even more. You passed me around 4 hours in and I was very confused, so I'm glad to hear that you had a great time despite the mishaps!
On the Gent Wevelgem 1-2, usually the team DS dictates the order of finishing unless DS allows riders to sort it out by agreement or racing. For the team a 1-2 is the best team result, irrespective of the order, but for higher ranking rider, it obviously adds to their palmares. Wout doesn't need to give reasons, but a classic win for Chistophe means more than another win for Wout at this stage in his career- he will win many more races. His act says volumes for their team culture
@GCN Racing, what's happened to the team information on the upcoming races on GCN+? Until about a week ago you could see what riders each team had announced for each race ahead of time, but that seems to have vanished now.
Van Aert has already Gent Wevelgem win. Yes, he was the strongest, but Laporte was working too and will be working in the other races. So it was a gift for him. Good relationship is crusial. It will help Van Aert very much. I think, the biggest favourite for Ronde is Van der Poel. But he has alrady two wins. So I will be happy if Pogačar or Van Aert would win. We will see if everybody will be healthy on Sunday. Pogačar is great but with the other two in the form, it will be very difficult for him to win. He has also very poor team.
Can't help but notice GCN has started using freeze frame photo analysis; must've noticed Chris Horner's low budget channel doing so well without video rights!
I've been watching cycling for the last 40 years ! Lol I don't need to watch No, analysis after the race, I already know why who won because I've been Glued to the TV watching the final ! ,I can't stand it with football or anything else 🤌
MVDP and Pog had a great training ride. You could see WVAs whole self worth was riding on the result. MVDP wins that if he lets pogs wheel go on the second attack and makes WVA close.
SD Works was a mess - looked like neither wanted to be ‘gifted’ a win by their teammate whilst also still wanting to win. Most staccato ‘sprint’ I’ve ever seen
The prize at the top of the climb which van Aert sprinted to win (presumably deliberately, as the commentators were nonplussed as to why he’d done it).
We want to watch them race! They should have raced the last km, that's the right team order! A win is not a gift , a rolex is a gift...if you gift a win it's no longer a win for the "winner"..
Ending 6 seconds down on the second strongest stage racer in the world (right now) is pretty damn good if you ask me. Especially when you have an incredible TT up your sleeve.
@@porsche45353 Where did I say Roglič can't TT? Of course Roglič has a decent TT, but are you really betting against Remco? Besides that Olympic TT is nearly 2 years ago and was on a rather unique parcours. A whole lot has changed since then.
I like van aert but please loose that helmet. It’s Red Bull that stuff is shi! Does he use it??? It’s also disrespectful of your team to have a different helmet.
@@robertkehl9034 Bad for you? There's teams that have betting sites in their team name and you are complaining about Red Bull? Seems like you are just looking for stuff to complain about.
Van Aert, Van der Poel or Pogačar, who is the favourite for the Tour of Flanders? 🦁👇
Mvdp
Unexpectedly the expected.. Pog
Wout 😎
Pogacar
I want Wout to win, but as long as we get a good and fair race I'll be happy.
Wout's giving Laporte the win shows how much of a class act, gentleman Wout is. Clearly TJV has great chemistry (haha) and a gesture like Wout's is also a note to other team members... you will get rewarded for hard work.
It will all be worth it if Laporte helps him to a win at the Tour of Flanders on Sunday!
In a sprint finish on a Grand Tour stage, Laporte is basically Wout's only lead out train on Jumbo. It's great for team chemistry.

Laporte is 30 year old…so give the win to him also support as team mate..van Aet is gentle😢
These new Monuments t-shirts are magic. Dan looks years younger, particularly after a heavy weekend.
😂

Great show!! Delighted to see Dan left the keys to the touchscreen whilst off on a session at the E3 classic…. 🍻🤪😂
What great racing us cycling fans get treated to. Thanks GCN+ and another great documentary this week. Really like pro cycling history content.
Thanks very much!

Wouts gesture was a Beautiful sporting moment. Reminds me of Jalabert and dietz 1995 vuelta, were jaja caught dietz and gave him the stage.
I love these racing roundups. The analysis is fantastic.
Great show, thanks Joe!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Right call. Laporte will bury himself to help Wout at Flanders and Roubaix.
They are riding on some wide tyres, 28 or 30mm skins?
Groves won one of his stages on a team mate's bike after a late mechanical - worthy of mention.
Oooh yea that was unbelievable AND was the team mates bike too big for him 🤷🏼♂️
That was really impressive, especially as the mechanical happened in the final 5km.
very well explained
thanks GCN R
7:23 Ouch! The rider's front wheel got pinched in an open seam on the road and disaster ensues!
The speed at which that happened - impossible to react in time.
@@SMathai And on a wet road...ugh! 😫
Classic Belgian crash
what size tires was Tadej Pogacar using?
Looked really wide didn’t it
Joe i watched you from your pro cycling manager year’s much love

But Horner does is so much better.
true. but thankfully without horner's arrogance and self righteousness
@@LvanderM Agree. A simple red arrow does the trick in the hand of Mr.Horner.

Thank you
Good journalism

이번 론데 우승자를 확률로 따지면 반더폴>반아트>포기..그러나 반더폴은 이미 두 번의 우승이 있고, 포기는 체급이 다르니..;.벨지언의 미친 광풍에 쪼이고 있는 반아트가 부디 우승하길 바랍니다.
where's dan
Right call everyday from Van Aert.
Evenepoel has a lot to learn, why would Roglič work with him, if he has the race lead.
Poel 👍
Vos?
Girmay?
I'm sure WVA caused a fair few people to lose a couple of quid
Will take some getting used to the new Dan
WVA is GOAT!!!
i would prefer they fought for the finish like sd works
SD Works was a mess - looked like neither wanted to be ‘gifted’ a win by their teammate whilst also still wanting to win. Most staccato ‘sprint’ I’ve ever seen
What are “galacticos”?!?
"Galácticos (Spanish for galactics, referring to superstars)...".
@@northofI90 Thank you!
Van Aert is the complete cyclist at this point.
It’s nice GCN are giving jobs to members of the Junior Conservatives.
I am not trying to shame anyone, but am I the only one hearing a lisp, or is it just the microphone acting up?
🤯
timmsoski :D
he looks so different here heheh
bring the Daniel Lloyd BACK ! Will stop watch this show until Dan is BACK!!!!!!!!
Agree, too much distracting arm waving.
Go Wally VA.
Bathroom furniture?

Please don't call him Pog
Yeah. It’s Pogi

@Tibovl yeah his ego was the greatest thing i saw

How in the world have you managed to make all of this racing news so utterly boring to watch. Take a leaf out of Lantern Rouges book please!
if a female cyclist is spanked as Wout Van Aert was in the beginning of the video... it could be taken as a sexual assault? gender harassment?
I lost brain cells reading this
@@bobroberts5820 🤣

I lost braincells reading this.
Rebull obviously pays him alot of money for him to use it. And TJV is scared to loose him over anything that silly, so they just lets him wear it.
Its a term in his contract with TJV that WVA can have a separate contract with Red Bull - as does Tom Pidcock with Ineos.
@@erlendbor6101 My point is where are his values. Red Bull is bad for you why is he lying, just for the money???
