Of the last 22 monuments 12 have been won by either MVdP or Pogacar. We are living in a sort of Nadal/ Federer/ Djokovic era of cycling. Love these stats
Not exactly. Pogacar is best overall by far. Apart from monuments he wins multiday events, something Mathieu cant do. Come to think of it nobody can. Except for Remco.
Not at all really. All the top tennis pro’s when fit take part in the major tournaments, unlike cycling where they pick and choose what races they ride. Even if TP, MVDP, WVA, Remco had all been fit this spring they probably would not have entered more than two of the same races. The sport badly needs a shake-up.
@@tonyg3091yes but MVDP is 6x world champ in CX, something Pogi can’t do. Let’s stop trying to determine who is better and just enjoy the fact that they are the greatest of this generation.
I see comments about Pogacar wondering if he's doping/cheating. What about MVDP, Remco, and Jonas? Stop with these comments. Maybe all of them are getting "help". It is what it is. Great win for Pog.
I don’t believe for one second that Pog is doping. Look, how is that he is the only one in team UAE that is winning the big races? That means that no other rider in his team is doping. Now, if you are in team UAE and clean, are you going to bust your balls each race so that a doper is the one winning everything? BTW, who in the cycling world with creditably is accusing Pogačar of getting any “help”?
Dope alone dont make champions, it all matters on how they trained hard to become the better athlete, among others,, dope with less hard work vs dope with greater motivation, its entertaining that is why we watch it and it only makes us haters when someone beats our favored guy,,
While everyone else is grimacing, standing up on the pedals and rocking from side to side with the effort they are putting in, Pog just ups that insane cadence he can do, and rides everyone off his wheel, all the while remaining seated.
If you believe every man is built equal-he is doping If you believe superhuman exists-he is a genetic specimen The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle
It's an amazing luxury to be able to stream from home on a Sunday morning history being made by one of the best riders the sport has ever seen. I've ridden la Redoute, much slower. It's beautiful to see him fly.
His cadence while seating on a climb is a technique to minimize the power loss to his legs and body. And this type of riding style is beautiful to watch.
Incredible and congratulations to TP. Can’t wait for the Giro. I’d like to see TP win that and TdF and Vuelta. That would be something for time immemorial.
Im looking forward to the Vuelta where all the big GC contenders will be working to stop Pogi from winning all 3 Grand Tours of 2024. Only 10 race days so far, he is preserving his energy and avoiding crash risks. Big brain strategy already paying dividends.
Good afternoon. It's so hard in race. MVDP lovely in third place ❤❤ Sweet rider Bardet ❤ second . Congratulations Romain!!! 🎇🎇🎇 I am surprised by his power Bardet! . 21424
Was MVDP too deep in the group when Pogi attacked? He wasn’t even visible in the shot. You’d think he would be in position for such a potentially critical spot along the course. Or am I mistaken and he wasn’t yet in that group?
I’m the only one who thinks that Carapaz has a wrong size bike… 🤔 i was paying attention to Pogi’s bike which seems like a toy for him, easy pedaling, easy aero position, even short crankset 🤔
the monuments have been crap so far this season - amazing riding but incredibly boring.... *men's monuments, the women's racing has been really exciting!
Oh Boy! Everyone carrying on about MVP, Pog turns up, MVP out the back door! LBL sorts the men from the boys!Pog is the best racer around at the moment. The obvious question, is he as good as Le Cannibale, Nope, Merckx is on his own, only Coppi is close.
That crash was bullshit. They need to come up with some kind of neutralization for that type of scenario in a 1 day race when SO many of the riders either crashed or were blocked by the crash. That's just unfair. (Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know "that's racing"... but it's still bullshit.
To stay in a safe position on the front costs more energy. If you sit in you save energy but can get caught in crashes. It's a tradeoff. Wouldn't be fair to let people just sit in an easy position with no risk losing out.
@@oscardot Nah. Not when you're talking about 100+ riders. The difference in draft effect between the 10th position and the 100th position is not that great. But--especially with tiny, narrow roads like they ones they were on that point--only so many people can be out front at one time. Not the riders' fault since they have zero input on course design. They ride wherever the race directors make them ride... no matter how dangerous that place is. (Just ask Jonas, Remco, Jay, Primoz, etc--who all just had their 2024 season ruined by bad course design in the Basque country two weeks ago.)
On a one day race its nonsensical. Just race. If you are out due to bad luck, pull over and save energy for next one. In a multi day race, it might make sense.
LBL is just getting worse. It has always been the dullest monument and now its barely watchable. Pog did what he said he would - attack on Redroute and soloed to the win. His attack was the only one in the whole race. Madness.
Tadej Pogacer, ruining yet another race! GC guys should stay away from the classics unless they’re gonna do a proper spring season. Dipping in and out when they like, you’re ruining my sport!! I’m not sure which is worse, screwing up the sporting spectacle or then having the gall to create a super accessible and positive social media presence to compensate!!! You can’t have your cake AND eat it Tadej, no way!!!!
This is a reason why MVDP, as good as he is, and I am a fan, is not the modern day Eddy Merckx, as I've seen some post in the recent past. I think Pog is as close to that standard as anyone in the peloton right now, but no one will ever really be the new Eddy Merckx. There can be only 1.
I guess you didn't watch RVV or roubaix then? Because mvdp did the exact same thing as pog today.. he's an absolute phenomenon and I love watching him. Appreciate everyone has an opinion but to turn off just because he's riding is a bit extreme.. I also assume you won't be watching the giro or tdf?
Great result for the old man Romain Bardet, Well done sir!
Very cool!
37 years. Almost won the Giro. Incredible.
He's 33

This spring has sucked big time. A huge turn off.

@@yogawithandypogi can still be the best uae rider even if they all dope, your argument doesn’t make sense
4:09 i didnt even get confused by that 30min gap cross talk😂
he had a hell of a gap.
That's like if I joined the race what the gap would be after the first hour of riding.
Wow, a 30 min gap, way to go Pogi. I can hear the dope cryers already.
@6:33 what a dodge, almost a head on collision with the spectator in the crowd.
While everyone else is grimacing, standing up on the pedals and rocking from side to side with the effort they are putting in, Pog just ups that insane cadence he can do, and rides everyone off his wheel, all the while remaining seated.
Yes, it makes you wonder ?🤔
Makes me wonder too. I really hope not though - would be truly sad for the sport. And he is an incredible athlete.
Best to just enjoy the show fellas. If you're still "wondering", I've got bad news for you.
If you believe every man is built equal-he is doping
If you believe superhuman exists-he is a genetic specimen
The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle
These guys talking like all of them aren't on something...It's just kinda the same things Froome used to do years ago
It's an amazing luxury to be able to stream from home on a Sunday morning history being made by one of the best riders the sport has ever seen. I've ridden la Redoute, much slower. It's beautiful to see him fly.
Such good pronunciation and generally excellent commentary thank you!
His cadence while seating on a climb is a technique to minimize the power loss to his legs and body. And this type of riding style is beautiful to watch.
its.... just normal bicycle riding cadence. nothing special about the cadence. Just special that he can make 400 watts all day.
I recall Armstrong using cadence to explain his superiority which subsequently turned out to be utter horlicks.
A race of four seasons.
🌷🌞❄️🌧️
When you make it look like MVDP isn't even in the same race... you are exceptional amongst the exceptional.
Now let him ride Roubaix and it would be the other way around
@@victorkoothow about Flanders 2023?
Flanders is an interesting one since it seems a race were both can win. Last year Pogacar won by a small margin? @fransroquedelacruz5272
Tadej just makes everything look so easy
Doped as hell
You're the one that's doped lmao😂@@francisco77220
Incredible and congratulations to TP. Can’t wait for the Giro. I’d like to see TP win that and TdF and Vuelta. That would be something for time immemorial.

Pogaçar, actually, is the best rider in the world.
Before this race began everyone already knew they were racing for 2nd. You can say Bardet won 1st place 😂😅
Good afternoon. It's so hard in race. MVDP lovely in third place ❤❤
Sweet rider Bardet ❤ second
.
Congratulations Romain!!!
🎇🎇🎇 I am surprised by his power Bardet!

He just came off the tour of the alps where he looked strong so I’m not surprised
Tadej said goodbye on the easier part of Redoute; nobody could follow. When you're good, you're good... It will be a great Giro.
It will be insufferably boring.
Poggy different gravy. class of his own.
35km sendirian, keren pogacar ngacir cuyyy
Great race by Bardet! 🎉👏
Was amazed to see riders with no gloves on at all during the race...
Good job,Pogi.Amd congrats...👍👍👍
와씨 ㅈ간지네ㄷㄷ😮
포가차 폼보소
The Itzula crash made the giro tour double odds way shorter but in this form, only bad luck can deny Pog surely.
Il prossimo anno la Parigi/robeaux Taddeo,alza l'asticella del tuo programma.MITICO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good commentary Rob
2024: year of long, solo breakaway wins. Kind of weird, and honestly not the most exciting races.
The female races were entertaining, I do enjoy these dominating wins to a degree
@@mismo358, I mean, I appreciate the amazing performances, but it's hard to say that it makes for the most compelling races to watch.
Was MVDP too deep in the group when Pogi attacked? He wasn’t even visible in the shot. You’d think he would be in position for such a potentially critical spot along the course. Or am I mistaken and he wasn’t yet in that group?
He was way at the back of the peloton at the time of the crash.
I would love to see him do the giro , tour double and if does that do all three next year
Its a team sport using similar resources and tech. Unlikely only a few are doping things are systematic and a level playing field.
I like how the Ineos bikes/kits have more orange this year
Nice video, thanks :)
Se te medirá por la talla de tus rivales! A quien ganó? Y así muchas carreras ! 🥱
Great attack.
The race had 10 seconds of excitement in it when Pogi attacked. MVdP could have at least tried.
MVdP wasn't in the same group when Pog attacked. That wasn't clear in this edit. he was still chasing to get back on.
Strong vitamins!
strong lame comment
@@Psysso Silly fans in denial again... back we go to the end of the 90s.
Someone looking very upset on 3rd spot..?
I’m the only one who thinks that Carapaz has a wrong size bike… 🤔 i was paying attention to Pogi’s bike which seems like a toy for him, easy pedaling, easy aero position, even short crankset 🤔
Hardly the first time Pogo has shelled MVP and Piddock...

@@BigHorse4200 MVP cut off by a crash, TM by a bike exchange. Hardly a shelling.
What little knowledge about cycling you display here.
Vroome vroome.. So today tadej got his share
Wait, I’ve seen this movie before…
No you haven’t…
Thoughts to his partners mother who died two years prior around this time of year.
Stop giving it away in the title

Pogacar won, but you use a picture of Van der Poel? Please bring honour to the one who deserves it.
the monuments have been crap so far this season - amazing riding but incredibly boring....
*men's monuments, the women's racing has been really exciting!
Not the women
cycling is not motor racing, the effort is made by a human being. So, even a clear win is extremely entertaining.
at least for me
Surprise surprise
This annoying constant misuse of the word "would". Just use the past tense.
Another boring spring classic this season, it’s becoming like f1 with mvdp and pogacars dominance.
Oh Boy! Everyone carrying on about MVP, Pog turns up, MVP out the back door! LBL sorts the men from the boys!Pog is the best racer around at the moment. The obvious question, is he as good as Le Cannibale, Nope, Merckx is on his own, only Coppi is close.

Milan- San Remo est pire.
Cycling can be boring.
the solo wins have a spectacle factor. in that case it’s just not something for to enjoy, but there are plenty who are entertained including myself
They could do the course in reverse next year, making the climb so close to the start that a 200km solo would be impossible. :-)
A very boring monument where the winner is known and the others do not run to anything.
I don't agree.
Certes, et toutes les classiques furent comme ça cette année.
Yawn, another Podgy demonstration of the miracle of Emirates chemicals.
