37 years. Almost won the Giro. Incredible.

That's like if I joined the race what the gap would be after the first hour of riding.

[@ShimmyD-u7g]

Wow, a 30 min gap, way to go Pogi. I can hear the dope cryers already.

[@riquelmeone]

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

[@2wheelsgood.]

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

[@tonyg3091]

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.

[@riquelmeone]

@@2wheelsgood. close the door on the way out

[@2wheelsgood.]

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.

[@TGShunai]

@@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.

[@tonypapas9854]

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.

[@Phat-rj3jo]

No doubt in my mind they all on some kind of “help”, it’s how this sport is.

[@yogawithandy]

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”?

[@TheWaaaahh]

Off course, they are all "cheating"! That's just reality.

[@sandthrottle1014]

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,,

@6:33 what a dodge, almost a head on collision with the spectator in the crowd.

[@cooldude.1811]

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.

[@FiniteResources7734]

Yes, it makes you wonder ?🤔

[@salildiassabir3076]

Makes me wonder too. I really hope not though - would be truly sad for the sport. And he is an incredible athlete.

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.

[@BreakawayB]

A race of four seasons. 🌷🌞❄️🌧️

[@edymarkonthego4096]

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.

[@FT__Cool_Stuff______-of5pi]

its.... just normal bicycle riding cadence. nothing special about the cadence. Just special that he can make 400 watts all day.

[@2wheelsgood.]

I recall Armstrong using cadence to explain his superiority which subsequently turned out to be utter horlicks.

[@skoromoh_]

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

Pogaçar, actually, is the best rider in the world.

[@stuartclough915]

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.

[@AlvaroLopezVideo]

THE BEST, POGAÇAR

[@AshKetchhum]

Before this race began everyone already knew they were racing for 2nd. You can say Bardet won 1st place 😂😅

@@mismo358, I mean, I appreciate the amazing performances, but it's hard to say that it makes for the most compelling races to watch.

[@the_joe_reynolds_foundation]

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?

[@rickpaulos]

He was way at the back of the peloton at the time of the crash.

[@santidiaz5347]

Se te medirá por la talla de tus rivales! A quien ganó? Y así muchas carreras ! 🥱

The race had 10 seconds of excitement in it when Pogi attacked. MVdP could have at least tried.

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

[@josecamacho794]

Another boring spring classic this season, it’s becoming like f1 with mvdp and pogacars dominance.

[@Big_Island_Boi]

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.

[@oscardot]

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.

[@MrMk8000]

​@@oscardotexactly this... people don't seem to understand it and its hilarious.

[@riquelmeone]

unfortunately it is part of racing. cycling is not motorsport where you can just red flag a race at will.

[@Big_Island_Boi]

@@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.)

[@stuartclough915]

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.

[@ss1bomber]

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.

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.
