Great job on yet another cycling documentary. Always glad to see your videos pop up.

[@RIFIANBOY]

Thank you 🙏

[@LupusUmbra]

For the controversy around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a> I would say that I didn't actually see him pull, instead I saw his hand go up and then sideways, into the FDJ rider's side, in order to make sure that the rider knew he was there are if he kept going they both would likely go down, so it may have helped them both stay in the race.

[@peterdieleman303]

The FDJ rider has a name: Ramon van Sinkeldam. The defending champion that year. He himself said Mathieu fairly beat him. Part of the problem is the bend in the finishing straight.

[@drunkensailor112]

​@@peterdieleman303that's not his name. He's called raymond sinkeldam.

[@peterdieleman303]

@@drunkensailor112 Ha we're both wrong, sorry I wrote this quickly. It's Ramon Sinkeldam.

[@drunkensailor112]

@@peterdieleman303 ah lol. Double bad

[@eelcov800]

But back on topic: Sinkeldam would have pushed MvdP into the barriers if Mathieu hadn't signaled him with his hand. Pure self preservation. No controversy at the time and no controversy now. Such a shame you feel like you need to smudge this 'typical' great MvdP victory. What makes him unique is his enormous capacity to recover during a race. So even when he has attacked, he's still able to win a sprint a little later. A one in a generation talent with a kind heart and a good moral compass. Enjoy him while you still can.

[@Vegathlete]

Absolute animal, sustaining wattages that would kill a mere human. Brilliant cycling filmmaking & narration.

[@psd9850]

Yet, he can't even produce enough wattage to power a toaster. 😅

[@edgerat]

Rob Hatch will forever be my favorite announcer for that call and that call alone. Long live MvdP!!!

[@RobinKraft-if6tz]

I hope many many people will have a chance to see this video, one if not THE best cycling documentary out there!

[@RIFIANBOY]

I appreciate it.

[@GioFietst]

Absolutely fantastic! And just to illustrate, my favorite cycling moment of all time was actually MvdP on Mur de Bretagne, taking yellow for his grandfather Poulidor with an incredible double attack; one to get the bonus seconds he needed, and the second for the stage win. ❤ But such a great documentary; great images as well; dankjewel Hamza!

[@benvriends5556]

I love that moment on Mur de Bretagne as well! I’m shivering down my spine when I even think of it🤣 let’s all enjoy this living legend.

[@omprajapati8419]

I am comparatively new as a viewer of professional cycling, your videos are just too good. Almost feels like crying when they win, you make their success feels mine. Amazing job Rifianboy..❤

[@heroziolkowskimendoza9800]

Finally! Another documentary. ❤

[@josemlucero7589]

Long time no see you RifianBoy! We miss you!

[@RIFIANBOY]

I was hoping to finish this video by early March, but I never get things done on schedule 😅

[@cuddlefish999]

[@user-tu5uq9dy2h]

What a great wrap up and graphical masterpiece this video is. Thanks for collecting the moments and highlighting them so creatively. !!!

[@paulcuthbert]

I knew what happened already in all these races... but the way you made this video, the suspense was like watching everything for the first time. Brilliant!

[@tamazoid]

Great job on this cycling documentary! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1065">17:45</a> he was just taking a short breather before his final attack!

[@franckpolleux8728]

Thank you for this majestic video!

[@birdofprey108]

amazing highlight! felt every moment VDP is freaking incredible

[@kevinmchugh5310]

Hamza, your videos are always excellent. Great job as ever.

[@liquidrengar7352]

Amazing Video, Great documentary, hope to see more about van aert, tadej and more of the fan favourite pros

[@balzi76]

Another great effort. Quality is 1,000% like always. thanks guys

[@tommara5567]

Always a great morning getting to watch a new RIFIANBOY documentary!

[@dapidizme]

Love videos like this. MDVP is my favorite cyclist even when he’s away from pro cycling. Would love to see you cover wins from unexpected/underrated riders over the years

[@salvadorfaris2774]

What a VIDEO man, I liked so much, great job.

[@Alpenmagier]

Always happy when you upload rifian

[@peteng13]

Great documentary! Keep up the great work. MVDP is a beast indeed, it’s always great watching him.

[@AmanSingh-vu9wm]

Awesome content as always ,.🎉❤❤ Love your channel and MVDP and WVA 💯 SAGAN the legend ❤

[@CyrusDamole]

my goat is mathiue van der poel and you give us the best videos about him. IM SUPER GLAADDDD that you videos pop up on my search of mathieu van der poel best race.

[@peterderidder9922]

I'm not a VDP fan, but this was the most beautifull win of all classic races I have ever seen ! This shows hard working can be rewarded !!

[@Shandy6733]

The endless loops of ups and downs, left and right, drains the body and the mind!!!

[@chris2MTL]

so epic ! great works as every time !

[@pierrekiwiz]

Incredible editing and storytelling, loved this

[@danieletognozzi7641]

wonderful. Please post an epic one on Van Vleuten or Van der Breggen!

[@balloffires]

Such a good video!! I loved it!

[@RIFIANBOY]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@josuezuniga6776]

The quality of your videos are mesmerizing

[@juanestebanfandinoramos6428]

Super nice filmmaking, please continue doing it. So far the best cycling documentary that I have seen.

[@WeAreQuestionDutch]

This was great written and made. Thanks!

[@balakumaran8510]

What a wonderful documentary made for free on KZbin :)

[@richcampbell3502]

Wow to MVDP and your channel! How have I not found you before?!?! Incredible content and subject all around! 👏

[@RIFIANBOY]

Glad you enjoy it

[@mikelo_06]

Great video, you should do another of WVA and Pogi 💪

[@joneinarmattiasvisser6113]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="450">7:30</a> van der Poel was definetly not in the wrong. He may have pushed his opponent out of the way, but he was going left and more left almost into van der Poel which is definetly wrong

[@user-ox9uq5sq7m]

This channel is amazing

[@i_never_told_you_my_eulogy]

legend video, again.

[@peterderidder9922]

Wout and Mathieu are worth eachotter no matter how you turn it . They both big champions !

[@Ms-Fortune]

What a legendary story, an epic tale retold so well here. 🔥😎✨

[@metamodeller]

Allez!! You are back 😃

[@Prototyp_Edits]

Im not even into cycling but your documentarys are just sooo amazing so i watch it anyways😮‍💨

[@stannewjeanss]

I'm pretty sure Mathieu Van Der Poel just signaled the FDJ rider that he'd pass, he didn't actually pull the FDJ rider, but simply alerted the FDJ rider that he'd pass from the left side, and he needed to alert the FDJ rider since he was pretty close to the barrier

[@brunotimperman]

Epic, thank you

[@xuchenglin6256]

Geez this is TV broadcast quality documentary, crazy! You should work in the industry. Keep on!

[@Cycle7599]

Brilliant film. Please also make one for Pogacar, Pidcock and Van Aert 👍

[@RIFIANBOY]

Will try to come up with video ideas about them .

[@mariusm.1205]

Sick video! 🎉

Great video

Excelente trabalho. Parabéns. Um abraço do Brasil.

[@johntaylor762]

First time see, it's awe-inspiring wow, very well filmed music ambience and wham magical mindful ✨️ tactics and courage. I came across video by accident. Wow is so can say. I'm originally from Europe and you were born to cycle 😊 take my hat off to these guys. 🎉

[@marceloleme5186]

Verdadeiramente Van Der Poel ´´e um ciclista exemplar... pra mim ele é uma inpiração para pedalar , parabéns pelo esxelente documentario ficou otimo .👏👏👍

[@chrisko6439]

"Because I was cold" Legend.

[@DirkKlapwijk-jw6vw]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1200">20:00</a> min in and i want to say good job on the video, love the story telling

[@philipperoelandt2830]

Nice job 👌👌👌

[@matsdevry2187]

Goosebumps

[@cntrlscrutinizer5374]

"Cycling is a Religion." There's a lot to be said for that statement.

[@gbp4429]

That’s was badass, putting an arm out to a guy traveling right to left to make space.

[@justingonzales1292]

Best cycling channel for me 🎉

[@RIFIANBOY]

Thank you

[@profesormadyadrjohanudinla327]

The most aggressive rider I have ever seen in history with four cycling discipline: 1. Cyclocross, 2, Road Bike, 3. Gravel and 4. Mountain Bike. Not many could match his performance and success in the modern cycling era.

[@ajascott3155]

That’s mad man behavior… what a beast.

[@davidefiorio6120]

Amazing video

[@hoizkiacha]

well done

[@tadziu2400]

The funniest sh*t even in pro cycling is that wout van aert's face hasn't ever changed. I guess he was full grown already right after the birth

[@WerdnaLiten]

Would have liked to see some of his off-road victories......When he blew Nino away in Nove Mesto in 2019.

[@yb_bakery]

love the shot at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="624">10:24</a>. How fast are they moving!!!

[@9arlo9]

I think that his biggest quality is that he can recover way better and more quick then his colleagues, next to all his other excellent qualities. Mentally he is very strong too.

[@roythorne7951]

Motorbike was moving, not stationary.

[@reymarventura4151]

Tadej Pogacar next pls

[@davidbee8178]

LOOK at VDP in the last seconds - in NO way did he pull or shove ANYONE ! VDP simply guarded his lane to make sure the other rider didn't push him into the barrier. NO foul play whatsoever !

[@har234908234]

In the first part you missed the guy hanging out of the sunroof in the white car (who may have given the time gaps to Alaphilippe and Fuglsang) with the fist in the air.

[@KeithFlint350]

Is there a rainbow jersey for cycling documentalist?

[@PolarRed]

Surprised you missed out the getting the yellow in the 2021 Tour! That was pretty epic too!

[@RIFIANBOY]

Yeah, but the guy has so many great wins I can't include them all.

[@jabrielramos19]

1st 6mins of the video gaves me chills. he is GOAT! MVDP is GOAT!

[@user-hw8sy7xt1p]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="520">8:40</a> those are some good stairs

[@A861967]

Brilliant review, the type of performance is undeniably quite impressive and with all the Legal supplements available it’s evident that the performance of these young men are now the standard. Or is it? 🧐
