@@chivacetana am not sure about your allegations here. Until he has been proven a doper, he remains the boss on cycling racing and will continue whipping everyone and bringing chest pains to you. He is an awesome strong bike rider and has been winning since his junior years.
Attacked and ride alone to the finish line, Chugged that beer to the finish line too! Shows the spirit that guy has, just be there and finish the game you started! That’s what winners are made of.
I thought people were getting ahead of themselves calling him the successor to Eddy Merckx, but damn this season he looks like he just wants to win everything and he has the power to do it. The Tour de France is going to be really interesting.
Merckx has hailed him as such. Not just for results but for the style - which could, as said below, lead to a bit of over-racing, just like Eddy at times
@@cuebj He could be well on his way, but it's a long road. 3 more TdF's, 3 or more giro's and Vuelta's, the hour record, same early season dominance's, and P-R several times. Plus more no doubt.
You can forget everyone back to Merckx. Pocacar is proving he is beyond reproach. I am so glad I had the chance to see a complete champion in my lifetime. Pay attention you it is unlikely you will ever see a rider of the quality Pogacar is...
@@johnandrews3568 lance never dominated the cobbles nor the ardennes. before he retires he has real a chance to win all three grand tours and all 5 monuments.
@@fanda6122 hahaha LA never got popped. C'mon a negative test means nothing. They are all on PEDs, but TP should learn to lose a few so he doesn't seem so obviously juiced.
It seems that Pogi got a chat from MvdP were he should launch his attack. That's what the news says over here. That was the exact spot he sped away. Keuteberg is a killer. I saw people park their bikes halfway in the past. Brutal stuff
it`s encouraging to see pidcock and healey sharing a podium imbibement, from a top field like that !thanks to mr kirby too for the usual top class commentary, 👍
Because Pog would ride away without them earlier otherwise and they'd stand a higher chance of being caught by the Lutsenko chase duo. It was in their own interest if they wanted to to make the podium.
Not even close. Compared to the rest of us, these pros are on another level completely. And compared to the rest of the pros, Pogacar is on another level completely.
I’m not saying Pog will lose, because I think he more likely to win tdf, but I believe Vingegard is preparing fully for the matchup. No races that aren’t prep for it and some of his climbing performances have been amazing so far. I so hope it is a massive battle like last time
Has anyone got any tips for a good place on the route to watch this year's race? We'll be staying in Maastricht that weekend, and getting around via public transport, I guess I'm mostly interested in being on a climb with a decent fan atmosphere.
It's a but unfair that Pogacar is such a great cyclist and seems like such a nice guys as well. I think a we need a new verb in the English language: To Pog. meaning to ride away from the rest of the peleton with seemingly minimal effort.
nobody gonna mention the fact that the other rider came close to like 18 sec and then the car of the director came and it was back to 30+ sec in no time.. not saying poga wasn't going to win but this was insane tbh..
Yep, never seen anything like it before! Camera motorbikes are normally the culprits, but this was insane. It happened multiple times when he went solo, and for long periods too.
although he most likely would have not been caught by Healy, why did a car go in front of pogacar, allowing him to draft, with less than 10k to go, right when the gap between pog and healy was around 20s?? Seemed very strange...
It's a conspiracy. The World Government saw that Pogacar was losing, so they order the car with the alien agents to drive to the front. If Pogacar didn't win this one, the whole Earth as a globe conspiracy might have been revealed, leading to people realizing that the Earth is flat.
That was scandalous. Healy was demonstrably gaining on him at that time. Pogi likely would have won anyway, but the organizers certainly took some of the glory from him, in helping him so brazenly at a crucial time of the race. What a shame.
As a former Yugoslav myself I can attest to the drinking skills of Serbs, Croats, Slovenians 🍺😂 my folks almost killed me as a kid growing up in this culture☠️ the hangovers always hurt more than the bike races do…
And pidcock had almost 1 month training setback after a crash and head injury. I am sure pidcock would have been able to go longer with pogi if not for lack of training
Some discussion on TV last night made me think just how destructive the 'doping-era' of this sport has actually been. That to this day other-worldly performances like the one Tadej gifted us yesterday are always met with discussions on illegal performance enhancing activities. I bet the likes of armstrong and co. didnt quite realize their stupid actions would echo through decades of new talent. Well done Tadej. What a show. Congratulations.
I understand this race perfectly suited Pogacar qualities, but i think many observers will really begin to raise eyebrows if he's destroying the Fleche and LBL with only 3 days of rest before each race.🧐
Anyone going to question how Pog keeps easily winning race after race? Everyone else looks like they got spun in a washing machine and he looks like he just rolled out of bed.Not natural.

It's almost cute how the other riders thought they might win today. ☺

Shoutout to that UAE guy doing the bike exchange. He was hustling like his life depended on it.
Man, you invite Tadej for a bike ride, first he obliterates you on bike and then destroys you in a bar chuging beers like a champ
Pleasure to watch. We are lucky with Van Der Poel, Van Aert and Pogacar
These last three years in cycling are the best since mid 80’s!!
Not even close. Compared to the rest of us, these pros are on another level completely. And compared to the rest of the pros, Pogacar is on another level completely.
extraordinary performance outstanding - simply unbelievable
Great ride great winner great sunday!
I know it’s a lot to ask for but I wish these videos were longer. I just want to watch more.
We have extended highlights available for the race on GCN+ 👉 gcn.eu/racetv
Amazing win Tadej. Congratulation👏
Pogo chugged that amstel like a king! If it had been a belgian beer, he would have asked for another! 🍻
Neither Healy nor Pidcock liked the Amstel beer and what was Pogacar doing? He just dumps it down without batting an eyelid. 😂
Damn I so wouldn't want to be in Vingegaard's shoes right now 😅
Pog looks in top shape and comes in with a stronger team this year.
I’m not saying Pog will lose, because I think he more likely to win tdf, but I believe Vingegard is preparing fully for the matchup. No races that aren’t prep for it and some of his climbing performances have been amazing so far. I so hope it is a massive battle like last time

At least we don't have to listen TdF winners tell us that it is not possible to win both one day races and Grand Tours...
He hasn't won a GT this year...yet.
Can someone tell me the name of the song when pogi finishes.... I know the song but can't remember the name
Auto-generated subtitles, "Daddy Pocacha", love it
