@counselthyself When you look at the finish line image, K's bike looks longer. Longer because he was in front of the camera longer, ie, going slower. C was going faster while crossing the line. K is doing the throw, C is pedaling. After all those hills, ouch.
Great race Benoit did handle that incredibly well ......chapeau and Kwiato has always been cagey and crafty since joining peloton nice to see him winning again especially after hearing his interview and struggling with training or lack there of from sickness and family etc. Lot of complicated off seasons sounds like especially for the family men with kids. Asgreen had serious legs today he just never had right time to go he looks good for roubaix, and pidcock could have just as easily jumped away today as he almost did from G2, risky move, but backed out when he saw vdp and asgreen but marjked everything good team win for ineos after basque country they seem to be on roll. Coppi/Bartali too
I was thinking Kwiato was about to get caught at the line by a group pulled by Van der Poel AGAIN, like he was in 2019. Great finish! Perfect throw form got it.
when races are this close that it takes laser technology to figure out the winner it often makes me wonder how many other big races prior to this that had the incorrect winner instated due to misreading such close finishes ?
Sometimes you have to wait for all the riders to finish before processing the first riders. Depends on the particular system. With season points, the officials need to get it right for the top 30 or so.
At 4:12 (slow down the footage) it's clear who's the winner - the finish photo just confirms what can be seen by the eye. Not a good job by the organisation.
the full race replay as well as the extended highlights are available on GCN plus. The short highlights package we're allowed to share on youtube, however, is determined by race organisers
Hi. Quick question. Over the years I've heard Michel Wuyts on Eurosport say something in Flemish when races get exciting. Guessing the spelling as Junge, junge, junge (sounds like yunga). Yesterday Adam Blythe used that during Amstel Gold. Can anyone give me a translation to English? Tried some searches online but had no luck. Thanks for all the great coverage!
he says, jonge, jonge, jonge, or sjonge jonge jonge (which would be more dutch then flemish). Jongen in Flemish means boy, however when you say it like Wuyts says it, its more an informal expression/interjection of unbelieve or amazement (like omg, are you for real?, ohlala...) For example (with 2 presenters): "Did you see how much power was behind Kwiatkowski's attack?" "Hoho, that was amazing, the followers will have to work together if they ever want to catch him; tjonge jonge jonge".
@@niekdprz5090 Yeah, I did see translation as boy but thought it didn't work immediately. Guess it's like saying "boy oh boy" or "man oh man." in English. Thanks!
Car parked on the outside of a 90deg corner? He had full width of the road until the street parking strip started. I'd expect at least some tape from the organizers (or cars gone).
Two takeaways from race: 1 - Second place winner was the only rider from the original front group that was not wearing a skin suit., and 2 - Around 17KM, Adam comments on the excitement between Peacock's legs. Adam - “He (Peacock) got that excitement between the legs.”, which could be related to what other's seen at 2:30.
Spoilers again, GCN? Fine finishing collage of the Amstel riders today at the end of the Men's Race, *_but why end with two pics from the Women's Race final?_* Do you not want us to watch it? Even Carlton Kirby (barely) restrained himself....

Cosnefroy rode a great race and was a real gentleman. Kwiat threw everything into it, though, right to the end.
I think on some level, Cosn' knew that he'd lost. From my perspective, the initial celebration seemed a tad stilted.

A race official declared Cosnefroy winner before result was reversed 2 minutes later.
Great to see that a more seasoned rider still has a place in a peleton full of wonder kids!
Not an expert in German but I believe the plural would be "Wunderkinder."
@@OakleafOrganic and you would be correct 👍
@@nikls5343 Super! Danke.
@@OakleafOrganic Wünderkinder!
Ah yes. Ü are right.
Haha there's no way the editor missed that at 2:29 , left it in on purpose 😂
didn't look like an alarm bell to me ....lol agreed
you mean the scissors ?
My thoughts exactly!
More like "The Grossest Finish," I'd say.
Is that Lloyd’s “handiwork”???

254 km race decided by a photo finish. Amazing!
Micheal is such amzing rider 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
KWIATO is the real Hero!!
Brawo Michał!🏆💪🤍❤
I was thinking Kwiato was about to get caught at the line by a group pulled by Van der Poel AGAIN, like he was in 2019. Great finish! Perfect throw form got it.
@2:30 Dan Lloyd was on site for the 2022 edition of the Amstel Gold race.
Great to see the Dan Lloyd Special there at 2:31
Well done Kwiato!
Experience shows in the end great finish
2:30 haha! Such a classic picture.
2:30 Dan LLoyd was there.
While I appreciate Adam's keen insights, what (riding?) clues led him to tell the audience Pidcock was _"excited between his legs today"?_
In 2 words: amazing finish.
Kwiato🇵🇱

BRAWO KWIATO! 🇵🇱
Kwiato!!! 👊👏 Fantastic race, Grenadiers! 👊👏 🇧🇷🇧🇷
And what a finish!
Poor man... Hopefully he is still happy with the second place
20:30 nice drawing
2:33 the stance, wow
Kwiato 🥳😇🤞
Kwiatooooo
KWIATO!!!! 🇵🇱
Quick Step's rough 2022 continues.
downed that beer like a champion!
Right! I wanted to make mention of that.
Did that rider scratch that car with his bike and ride off. It's all captured on camera.
Cool, an old buck still dominates a young buck in the final sprint...👍
Watching at Minute 2:30 makes me think if Dan Loyd was around there making one of his drawings on the asphalt 🤔
Wow! Perfect bike throw!!!
Right!
OK, who is the artist/joker at 2:30?
They really have to step up their photo finish system. Takes so long to decide on a winner for two years now 🙁
Sometimes you have to wait for all the riders to finish before processing the first riders. Depends on the particular system. With season points, the officials need to get it right for the top 30 or so.
Cosnefroy started sprinting too early, a small precipitation that cost him the win
He did go very long!
At 4:12 (slow down the footage) it's clear who's the winner - the finish photo just confirms what can be seen by the eye. Not a good job by the organisation.
Cosnefroy tweeted a video with beer drinking contest on the podium saying "did I win this time?"... Sorry Benoit, to close to call!!
How do you have the broadcast of the entire race and can only put together a 5 minute highlight reel?

By a whisker!

Is that what that was?

Lloyd, what was that drawing on the pavement?!
Gratz to the real gentlemen's..
2:30 - Dan was there!
Gratulacje Michał KWIATKOWSKI # 1 🇵🇱 POLAND 🇵🇱
What’s wrong with the ASG photo finish set up? Incredibly sketchy result two years in a row
Nothing wrong with the photo finish. It’s the person interpreting it or declaring the winner without looking at it who is a melon.
Come on photographers a second year in a row
2:30 someone was bored waiting for the race
I wish LR had the rights to these races :(
POLSKA GUROM!!!!
... bo się posrasz! Co do Kwiato, świety finisz mistrza👍
2:30 😂
Ineos winning again!
2:30 :D:D
wow
2:30 😂💀
I got ads with 1km to go and when they ended cosnefroy was celebrating 😑

Another photo finish on the podium with the beer drinking..
at 2:30 more like an alarm bellend, amirite
I'd like a beer
holy shit that's basically Midousuji & the other's guy's race... forgot what's his name...
Throwing bike too late

Chugging down some alcohol after punishing your body like that is absolutely insane.
Thanks Doctor.
@@samuelthompson5094 No probs.
Not really. Goes down easy.
This commentators soft inflections etc are very annoying
psia krew... lazy non-co-worker & thief.. again... psia krew
Bored Armstel ever. What a disgrace! Go back to see 2011-2016 and you will understand what is a classic race.
