MVDP was smarter, knew the place to attack was just before the top of the Poggio and he executed the plan perfectly. Wouldn't have worked maybe had Pogačar waited too, instead Pogačar tried a bolder move by attacking earlier, but he was unsuccessful and tried a few more times... his matches were spent and had no answer to MVDP's attack.
@@tamasvarga67on a 6 km climb where top riders go all out he can't keep up. But if you half ass it and give him 500m into a descent you're not catching him unless you're wva in peak form AND SOLO SECOND PLACE
I met Mathieu"s grandfather, Raymond during a race in France. He was riding back seat in the race director's car. They came up next to me and a window slowly came down. Raymond leaned out and encouraged me on. After the race, the organizer put on a dinner. I was late, the last in. No more seats, except one way in the back. After I sat down, I looked to my right and the gentleman sitting there turned and said hello. It was Raymond! I nearly fell off my chair. He was so nice, an exceptional person and athlete.
Amazing result, congrats MVDP. Am I the only one surprised that Ganna was not only at the front at the top of a climb, but he was able to outsprint WVA and TP at the end? He's a much more rounded rider than I took him to be; maybe this is the sign of early high fitness and wins to come later in 2023?
he should have worked rather than sucked Pogačar's wheel. As for his grand tour capabilities, i don't think so. he's too big, can't climb. Poggio is not the Pyrenees
He is a really powerful rider so no suprise that he can sprint. It probably also helped that he did the least amount of work in the group with van Aert and Pogacar.
The power and speed that Mathieu displayed in that attack was truly impressive, and his timing was perfect as well. What a fantastic and entertaining race that was to watch.
Impressive race? Are you completety retarded. Its ~290KM one straight boring line and at the climbing part, Poggio, it lowkey starts to be a race. Therefore in early ages it even was considered a massa-sprint match… Poggio at average 3.7% and max 8%….. its literally nothin’. Wout van Aert literally brought back van der Poel to Pogacar even tho he was complety out, the whole race. At the end he done his crosser attack of the poggio and then you know in the descent, its ur win. Just a dumb race, no single reason to be a Monument…
This was class for MVDP. He simply destroyed the pack mid the last climb. The gap was significant considering the powerful riders following behind. Ganna was a surprise as well. Blowing WVA for that 2nd place was something.
@@mulondokalemera7531 Not true. Wva had to do almost the whole chase. Ganna was gapped a bike length or 2,, so had to chase wva. Poga was the one sitting in the wheel the whole chase. He was not as strong as we expected.
What a wonderful group of riders we have nowadays. I'm gonna tell my son that I watched live as MVDP pulled a watts bazooka on the Poggio against Pogacar, Van Aert and Ganna.
MvdP had one of his days. He was playing with the others. Remember how he was first on Cipressa, had a look around and took a sip of his bidon. Completely relaxed and in charge. Same on the Poggio.
of course they could have..IF THEY WORKED 100%, when you are alone all you can do is go full gas, if you're in 3 you don't want to tow the others to victory
It isn’t a short track. They’re doing a lot of kilometers and then some climbs on high speeds. And then, in the final, they give it pretty much all on that final climb. So if those TT’ers didn’t have much left and the one who so convincingly dropped them has much left in the tank, then even if those 3 TT’ers work together very well, they won’t catch him. And the cooperation was much better than we usually see, Strade Bianche this year is a great example of horrible cooperation, but it still wasn’t perfect (a few moments of hesitation can bring the morale and momentum down) But, in the end, MVDP just seemed unstoppable today, so there wasn’t much the others could do
Another great ride by MVP and like the POG another rider who has thrown the shackles off with stats and maths and just races all out, right now bicycle racing is at its best and what can you say about "THE POG" , once again making the racing happen, OK not winning this time but always up there and in it to win it... He's a BEAST
Before the race MVDP said it would be won by the smartest rider and it was. He picked the perfect moment to attack after Pog and WVA had burned their matches. Amazing race and what a podium/top4. I think this is going to be an amazing year for cycling.
3:52 For me, on hindsight, the moment where MVDP wins the race. Letting WVA close the gap to Ganna, so WVA is cooked when he launches his attack seconds later.
That was smart, but I think he would’ve gotten away either way. Since they had tailwind and were climbing and MVDP simply seemed significantly stronger than the others. It would probably have been harder to get away, though, if he hadn’t ridden conservatively (also by not following every acceleration immediately - before he followed WVA)
Congrats MVDP, but we need to start talking about GC Ganna... Closing the wheel to pogacar and dropping them in the sprint? He's much more than a TT rider
@@normanzielke6108 I agree with you, but the fact that he is too heavy can also be seen as a possibility to be able to survive those long climbs if he goes on an extreme diet like Froome and such. However, he is very tall, so he will always be heavier than the likes of Poga…
182 miles gave us a marquis break away containing the 4 strongest men with MVDP timing it just right and laying down monster watts to take a well deserved win!
Pou Pou his grandfather won 62 years ago. The most surprising thing was Pipo's second place. Van Aert's gesture going up without strength seems like poker to me. He still beat Pogacar in the finish line. The Slovenian should start not to propose so much and follow the wheel more if he doesn't have to go alone. Much expense.
The Poggio is less than four percent average so guys like Ganna aren't as disadvantaged as some would have you believe. The key is being able to stay out of the red on the first half so you don't blow entirely on the second half.
Nice highlights, but the critical moment at 3:57 of MVdP attacking is missed... always seems to be the case with highlights - they actually miss the key moments.
Is this such a surprise in a race for sprinters? How many GC contenders are usually in the running for MSR? The most impressive rider here is Pogacar; he is on another level, but it is a big thing for him to be in the running here still.
This was a great effort. You ahve to be lucky and very very good to beat a group containing Ganna, Pog and WVA. Lucky that WVA gave him a free ride up the hill.
🤔 Rewatching the race from the Poggio, I have to say that Pog's attack was short-lived as a result of him holding the second wheel up the Poggio when UAE took over after Bahrain. This may have drained his legs; nevertheless, it was the decisive move that split the race, leaving the favorites at the front. Congratulations to MVDP and the rest of the peloton! 👏
Ganna, Pog and WvA weren't working together as well as they should. MvP let WvA close the gap on the Poggio and attack at the right moment. Great victory
TP kind of made the same mistake as last year - trying to win UP the Poggio, when really it's not steep nor long enough to produce a big enough gap to get the job done. MM and MVDP both won over the top of the climb, not up the climb.
Eddy Merckx won Milan-San Remo seven times throughout his career, and his attacks came at different points in each of those victories. Here's a brief rundown of where he launched his attacks in each race: 1966: Merckx's first Milan-San Remo victory came in his debut appearance in the race. He attacked on the Poggio climb, the final climb of the race, and managed to hold off his rivals to win in a solo effort. 1967: In his second win, Merckx launched his attack on the Capo Mele climb, which is the second climb of the race. He managed to break away from the peloton with a small group of riders and then outsprinted them to win the race. 1969: Merckx's third victory came after he attacked on the final climb of the race, the Poggio. He managed to break away from a group of riders and then soloed to victory. 1971: In this race, Merckx attacked on the descent of the Poggio, catching his rivals off-guard and quickly building up a gap. He managed to hold off his rivals and win the race in a solo effort. 1972: Merckx's fifth victory came after he attacked on the Cipressa climb, which is the penultimate climb of the race. He managed to break away from the peloton with a small group of riders and then outsprinted them to win. 1975: In this race, Merckx launched his attack on the final climb of the race, the Poggio. He broke away from a group of riders and then outsprinted them to win. 1976: Merckx's final victory in Milan-San Remo came after he attacked on the Poggio climb. He managed to break away from the peloton with a small group of riders and then outsprinted them to win. These victories demonstrate Merckx's incredible talent and versatility as a cyclist, as he was able to win in a variety of race scenarios and with attacks launched from different points on the course.
WOW so many people are going to be eating their hats today writing off Ganna about being the Ineos team lead, me included! If MVDP wasn't there we'd be having headlines about Ganna outsprinting Wout and Pog!
Poor commentary. They miss what happened -pogacar attacks and separates w Ganna there. But p can’t drop g. So p hard out in wind for several min -wva perhaps tiny bit stronger than mvp. Wva hard out in wind beings p back. -unlike p and wva mvp has had a free ride. He’s lucky: he’s had wva bring p back -best rested mvp now attacks and gets away and wins. X impressive. Also lucky to have wva pull him back -plus wva unsmart or unlucky b c at start of poggio wva out of position. Wva must ride much harder than mvp at bottom of poggio just to get position back, and wva pays for that effort at top of poggio. Mvp v smart and w luck. Wva not smart and unlucky. Pogacar was rhe strongest rider, but mistimed attack b c overconfident, goes too early, and thus unsmart. We got some great racing coming up: only tiny minute differences in power wva mvp pogacar. And then there’s Ganna, showing something we didn’t know he had. What is Ganna gonna do at roubaix?
full gas sprint over the top settle in to a balls out descent with your hr skyrocketed still TT the rest of the way in solo what a move and ability to pull it off
Think he´ll take a triple the following weeks: Milan-San Remo, Ronde van Vlaanderen, Paris-Roubaix. Especially P-R would be cool if he manage to win, then 3 monuments out of 5 checked. Maybe he change his schedule and rides Liege-B-L too then?
Looks like Pogacar gambled on a Poggio breakaway but shot his bolt and couldn't recover. PS- Cavendish was riding; will he be in the TdFrance this year? He's currently tied with Merckx on 34 TdF stage wins each, so one more stage win will make him the greatest TdF stage winner of all time.
Loving Ganna's evolution from a pure TT guy to a more Fabian Cancellara kind of rider
he's got a great combo of drugs going to make that change, those top 4 make for some awesome races no matter which of them wins.

300k in under 6.5 hours?!
It was the second fastest edition! But the fastest was all the way back in 1990!
Congrats to MVDP. Wout incredible form, that gear setup cost him. Still podiumed. Once again, MVDP owns Wout on single day races.
That gear setup cost him nothing 😂
yeah baby!
Wout went all out but still can't catch MVP
