This week, in the world of racing, we learned that it takes a Bahrain leadout, a Pogi attack, a MvdP wattbomb, a tailwind and modern aero bikes to break a 28 yo EPO record. This gives a little bit of hope that current cycling might be a bit cleaner.
Good point. In addition, these folks today are more specialized as well and have the best training and equipment (beyond aero bikes). Be interesting to analyze other 'records' of the past at the other monuments, classics or the Giro or Tour where the situation was comparable. I wonder how MvDP's sprint in the Strade Bianche a few years ago (2019?) where he burned 1400W or something compares with the bad old days cycling.
@@henrivanbemmel One of the things we will unfortunately never no. Like what an undoped Ullrich with als his talent but a good mental coach could have done. Or a 3-up battle of the killer instincts of Mercx, Armstrong and Pogi.
@@chrisridesbicycles we will never know a 100% for sure. But the professional care and science do a lot to. Riders have a very specific diet as well. So yes, lets hope so
@@jeffw9465 With the knowledge available to all, we can also have a guess how much that helps. The effect of what I learned about nutrition, especially during training, in the last 2 years gave me a big boost. If I think back how sh*t I trained back in school because the pros at that time trained only on water… (I didn‘t get the blood bags afterwards but bonked miserably every time)
@@gcnracing When was the last time a rider, male or female, has done the Paris/Roubaix double? That would cement him as a GOAT for sure, (but he's already there of course)
He's been doing insane things for years now, and so far not a single spot on his record. So while we can never be absolutely sure, it does look like he's doing without 'help'.
Hats off to Pippo Ganna for how he went up the Poggio. I doubt he'd make an impression on many Belgian classics though, what with him cornering on cobbles being a bit like Bambi on ice (compare the corner speeds at Paris Roubaix with other riders last year - it's hilarious)
In my opinion, drafting the race motos should be fair game. It's the race organizers' responsibility to get out of the way. The moto drivers are either trying to get the best footage or they are just clueless. Pre-ride the course and know where to pass.
I think the problem with the motos is when the impede riders progress as shown in the this video or worse when they collide with riders, which happens too often. Drones are the future if we are in anyway serious about rider safety.
The local race moto officials where I’m from are all also racers themselves, so they know how to position themselves perfectly. Instead of police volunteers, the UCI should just make sure everyone on course is appropriately trained. Goes for team cars too. There really are a lot of sketchy moments for seemingly no reason.
Not sure if it was a fluke, but excited for Ganna in this season's Classics/Monuments. It's clear he needs to ride more tactically, but he's learning! I feel like we haven't seen his true road potential.
I can't imagine that this was only a fluke. Not saying he'll win anything, but I'm expecting at least a couple more top 10 placements in the Belgian classics.
Love the analysis Dan. What a brilliant race. Love your work GCN. It was a great build up to the race through the racing show, then brilliant commentary during the race, particularly by Robbie McEwan as the race exploded up the Poggio and then the great analysis after.
Please don’t announce the race winner in the titles or thumbnails of videos. I’ll probably forget that Van Der Poel won when I watch the race, but I’ll also remember. For those of us not watching in “real time” who are trying to enjoy the moment, please honor our fantasy.
I made a comment about the camera before. Idiot move and changes should be made. You need the varsity doing this at this level and at that point in the race. What kind of sh*t was it to jam 3 of the world's best riders into a love set made for two like a bunch of kids. Holy cow, unbelievable how organizers don't think. These guys are tired and sweaty and now are jammed like very low class move on the race organizer and I would someone told them so. I sure would said something to someone even if I had been a DS even if my rider was not there.
For the MTB racing, it looks like you didn't land Rob Warner and Bart Brentjens. As you know, they are legends and the bar is extremely high. Like many of the GREAT announcers, Rob in particular is THE VOICE of MTB. Wishing you luck in being able to match them, they will be greatly missed.
There is a saying in Dutch regarding bike racing, "eat other people's plate first before eating your own". Van der Poel rode the smartest and made the best decisions on Saturday. He used Bahrain, UAE and then Van Aert and only launched after everybody else had worked themselves tired - unbeknownst to them - for him. Of course, he also had to be explosive enough to get a gap and strong enough to make it stick. Chapeau Mathieu!
What I learned from this clip is that no matter what you are saying, drawing as many circles as possible on a giant flatscreen is very important for a proper race analysis.
Just listened to Watts Occurring and Luke Rowe said Ganna could've gone with Vdp. Ganna said he sat on and wanted Pog to do the work. Must admit he was skipping turns and doing short turns and let Vdp go. Muppet 🙈 They said he was on a great day and wasn't expected to be up there so maybe he was being too cautious. Shame though 😕
Dan throated that hard cheese head Holland (Hollandse kaaskop aka West Friese) G there perfectly when trying to say Gerben Thijssen. Perhaps you should try the soft Brabant (zachte g) G next time which is more close to the Flemish pronunciation. The province of Brabant spans both The Netherlands and Flanders. Although the a and e vowel switch up between Dutch and English is still a pain to get right as a native English speaker. So kudos for trying Dan!
Wout had good legs just look at 5:23 right when pog attacks it's pog infront then alpecin rider, gana, trek rider, bahrain, mvdp and then wout. gana had to close one rider to close the gap, and wout had 4. Mvdp played is card well while he was hoping wout could close the gap, stayed on his wheel and then attacked. Gana did the same but for second place.Don't think he was trying to catch mvdp but just saving his legs for the sprint for 2nd place.
IWould be fun to find out Ganna was in perfect position entering the poggio because the merida riders got confused by the ineos jersey and thought he was a team mate.
I was surprised to see WVA being isolated the whole Poggio. Tratnik crash cost them, but you would still expect Valter or Laporte there, with Wellens and Kragh Andersen. Imo that made the 2% difference between being glued to Pogi and Ganna's wheel, and having togo in the red to close a 2 bike length gap on Ganna.
Yes, I agree that JV as a team did not seem to be as dialed in as in other races. I mean you can fail to win, but as a team they seemed a bit oiff. A real credit to WVA for getting that close. As they climbed except for MVDP, I think the rest thought they might be together over the top. Pogacar couldn't drop them and so with MvDP seeming a bit off at T/A, it looked great that he was there, but perhaps that would been enough. Then boom.
I think the camera switcher needs a new job. Of all the places in this race where things are going to happen and with these riders in the lead group then the idiot goes and shows us the chasing group that is completely out of it by save a crash or something. It does not matter if last year's winner is in this second group either. The action was with the leading 4 and at that point in the race the camera should never have left them. Dunno how this happens at this level.
About Wout V.A. I'm wondering if he had the legs for the 52 t. Mono Chainring? Reminds me in Hoogerheide when he used the 50 t in his cx bike. Probably was again the wrong choice!? What you think?
Brilliant break down of another wicked MSR! I had Gana as an equal favourite as I had heard through the grape vine he had dropped a few kegs and honed that high end climbing speed...... does anyone know of any truth to that?
Two things: 1) Wild MVDP beat a record as old as himself 2) Was there also an element of MVDP using the the shape of the road? It looked to me like the road narrows just after he attacked and winds through some buildings, almost blocking any counter attacks?
Well spotted! MVDP timed his attack to perfection, perhaps it would of been hard to counter but if they had the legs somebody could of bridged the cap 👀
Dan: What's your opinion of MVP now wanting to go for the world championship in Glasgow? I'm sure this monument win has bolstered his confidence for such a race and the structure of his season might suggest so.
i think Sagan not winnung MSR shows why i love bike racing so much. its unpredictable. because even when you are the clearly best rider, if other teams dont work with you or even against you, you have little chance of winning. PS: thanks for pointing out how UAE let the wheel go to split the field.
Most annoying part of Milan-San Remo was when the helicopter camera was too busy looking at the bunch behind the front four and turns around to miss the moment MVDP came from the back of the four
Frequently the problem is there’s too many press motos - they should get their photos early and then get out of the way, definitely not in the final 25km of a race. The TV motos mostly do the best they can and when there’s hours and hours of coverage occasionally there’s the odd mistake. A lot of the criticism of them comes from people who have no experience of riding a motorbike, let alone one with a cameraperson stood on the back. We’d have no sport if it wasn’t for these people. The only other comment would be about consistency - Tom Pidcock got considerably less help when he won Strade than say Van Baarle did in his win this spring with an armada of motos in front of him in the final 10km - that’s on the organisers & UCI
Does anyone else have trouble understanding Ms. Been when she goes full on with names and places. I like her commentary a lot. But sometimes I’m lost when her Dutch / European accent kicks in . Sorry, I’m just a dumb American.
No you're not dumb, just used to commentators that are constantly butchering European names. To me it's like they are making noise, but no sense at all. I really like how José pronounces them, because I'm used to commentators that make an effort to pronounce the names correctly. Take for instance a relatively new name like Adegeest. Instead of Ahhh-duhh-gazed, they butcher it into @ddegheist or something even more gibberish. When commentators would consistently use a pronounciation close to the original, noone would have to guess whom they are referring to.
Sometimes I think WVA thinks racing is mostly about strength - and he is convinced that he is the strongest. But at MSR, he had no choice but to close the Gap to Pog & Ganna or they were gone. Unfortunately VDP was right on his wheel - and used the matches he saved there to smoke them all in the last 200 meters of the climb.
Good rcs no motors San remo Bad rcs, dangerous course, yet again. Bike rack extends into road, takes out riders. No warnings, no markers, nothing. Ugh. Just put an obstacle in the road. And rcs uci riders union: do nothing. Fix nothing. Change nothing. Pay zero $ to the injured riders. In many ways an amateur sport w danger no other sport in world wd allow. And allow race after race after race.
What was your biggest takeaway from Milano-Sanremo? 🧐
I was right, the poster boy was not yet ready, but could be in the years to come, I hope he does well and becomes a superstar, cos he is a good rider but the GCN (Dan) elevated him to a higher status without the runs on the board !!!
Large pizza and chips
“Know your opponent better than they know themselves.”

That we need drone footage for last 1-2kms only , or at least the last straight where the race always explodes or is on fire..imagine the spectacle.
MvdP starts to be the nemesis of Pogi in the classics. And Pippo Ganna is a real beast.

Hats off to Pippo Ganna for how he went up the Poggio.

Ganna reminded me of Cancellera. Hope this is a sign of good things to come!
One thing I didn’t notice, but now can’t unsee, is the fact Van der Poel changes glasses to the gold kato, just for the podium 🤔
Excellent analysis San remo thank you
It's a shame that the cameras missed the moment when VdPoel launched his attack.
Yes curious if Pog and Ganna tried hanging on to his wheel or did they just keep the pace they were at when the footage cut back to them?
Perfect use for a drone!
Incredible speed on the Poggio. What were the watts? Great video, thanks.
Love the analysis of MSR. Would be cool for this type of analysis to be in every week’s racing news show
