Holy crap what a finish! MVDP going all in at the end for Philipsen to win! Gotta give props to Pidcock too. No guts, no glory. And something that really put a smile on my face wasn't the race itself, but seeing all those guys in the break congratulating each other after the finish, in true sportsmanship! 🙂

MVDP being such an incredible team player makes this the most deadly 1-2 classics combo ever.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

Totally incredible but that's ridiculous to say because they haven't done enough together due to time. That may change but they're definitely not the best combo ever just yet

[@thierrynolevaux9268]

Agree...one of the best duos if not the best. They did the same thing a few times last year including Tirreno- Adriatico.

[@HenryChangDesign]

@@veganpotterthevegan depends on the style of race. For this race and Paris Roubaix last year, I can't think of a more formidable pair. But at Flanders or Strade Bianche, Phillipsen's not a real threat. To me, what sets them apart isn't just their physical ability, it's their willingness to sacrifice for each other. There have been some really strong teams, but teamates were racing each other. To me, those teams aren't quite the same.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@HenryChangDesign maybe, but the reality is that they've had too short of a career together to say this and Jasper has really needed MVDP while MVDP has rarely needed Jasper

What a FINISH! One of the best line ups and best finishes I've seen in a long time. The solo breakaways are cool... for the guy breaking away. But they make for boring spectatorship. I'm not a hug Pidcock fan per se but I found myself rooting for him at the end. Imagine the euphoria of a race like that--against other riders at that level--just ripping each others legs off until the very last centimeter of tarmac. Love it.

[@R4rd]

Eight plot twists in a little over 6 minutes: 0:00 it seems as if a large group makes it over the Poggio and will sprint for the win 0:06 Pogacar is gone. Usually, nobody brings him back 0:29 MvdP has made the unlikely jump and is now in pole position 2:15 Pidcock has made it and is back in contention 3:51 It all comes back together, Mohoric immediately goes for it 5:04 Mohoric brought back, Sobrero goes for it 5:33 Pidcock takes advantage and looks like he's got the best cards now 6:13 Matthews! 6:21 No!

These guys! They're just unbelievable. Racing a double century and winning by a few inches.

[@sandydennylives1392]

A triple century.

[@LordAus123]

The close finish comes down to the reality of the disproportional advantage of drafting vs solo riding. When racers are at peak physical condition and speeds are high, there isn’t enough physiological difference for one rider to do the ~30% higher effort needed to both overcome the draft advantage of their opponent and drop them. Now, if it were inches after 300km of time trialing solo, then that would be remarkable!

Its all relative to say pogacar is limited is limited in lots of ways. Get a slovenia national team to ride all in for him hes already got silver in olympics and bronze in worlds with no help. Hes never had organized support of primoz, matej, and jan anything close to a dutch, belgian, italian, or danish team. Guy Podiums his first GT ,wins first TDF, and bosses his first flanders no shame in losing to Mathieu. Then bosses and solos flanders following year before dominating ardennes, 2nd in tour with no prep, and 3rd a worlds that rode like a crit race what are limitations? He just outsprinted mads pederson in MSR! Placed in front of two world champs VDP did lead out tadej animated entire race. Hes the marked man in every race he enters animates every race he enters. At 25 paris nice and tirreno are done and dusted beat vingo last year in nice year before in tirreno neither were close he needs GT attrition to best him on long climbs. I do think VDP is also totally unique also and pure born racer this generations roger de vlaemick or first VDP however you like he was born to race tadej was born to win any style. Tadej reminds me more of coppi more than cannibal almost an enigma and bit of romantic about sport and rides with pure panache. If tadej has limit its gravity on a hot day but hes never focused on nutrition or prep hes a kid. Still entering learning and entering his prime. First year he isnt eligible for young riders jersey.

[@bikeyclown4669]

Congratulations, Philipsen! Bam! What a great finish to a great race. Breakaways are okay, but I prefer a good sprint finish. The bunch wasn't reduced enough for MVDP to win, and he really ended up becoming a lead-out man for his teammate. Which is okay as he's a solid sprinter, but not a pure sprinter, and he is not only a champion, but a team player too. There was way too much horsepower in the pack and the hills weren't big enough for Pogicar to simply ride away like he did a couple of weeks ago. Pogicar is the best overall racer in the world right now, but there are people who are equal or better depending on the circumstances. He'll still clean up this year as long as he's healthy.

[@FM19964]

While Pogacar styles is loved by fans because he rides year round, don't be surprised if he falters again in TDF. While he's doing so many races Vingegaard is resting for one objective
