Nairo Quintana Cannot Feel the Chain on Blockhaus - Drops Nibali & Pinot easily | Giro d'Italia 2017

[@simoneullio3220]

Now we want the crazy double-Stelvio's Stage of Giro 2017

[@alanpride5884]

I didn’t even know I wanted that, but YES.

[@kovar2344]

Winner "yes that is my real name" Anacona was a menace when on form.

[@bk34563]

Patrik is really good but I feel like he could learn a bit from Cosmo in narration 😁 Those 2014 GT analysis videos from him were top top

[@kovar2344]

​@@bk34563 I really enjoy the analytical style of LR, but true. He could spice it up with a cheeky joke here or there. But hard to beat the master ( Cosmo ) at this. This style works well for Pat. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

[@D34dlyTidsy]

This channel is so good! Watched a random video a month ago and now can’t get enough. I didn’t realise cycling was this tactical and live the insight you give

[@charliewhelan9488]

watch all of his quintana videos. He is very clearly a big fan

[@jaahm3643]

10:04 the force of his WAT's so strong, that's not a tailwind, that's him blowing that baloon up the road ..

[@hugovanderwel]

Yep, that's what he said

[@gabrielfong]

Even mentioned "Bikes were better"

[@pretzelhunt]

This level of strategy analysis is so outstanding

[@georgelane6350]

I'm 2017 I had I somnia real bad and watched about 40% of this Giro live from New Zealand. It gave me.so.much respect for you when you started out trying to do this from Australia! It still brings back fond memories to see these guys out there. Crazy just how many of those names will be there this year!

[@badcaseofthebajabada]

Hot Take: this was Quintana’s last showing as a GT champ. Quintana attempted to ride aggressively the rest of this race and got punished by a calculated, Rasputin Dumoulin. After this his attacks didn’t have the same conviction (until recently) and always appeared he was missing the confidence in himself.

[@andrew7taylor]

Agreed. He made a mistake of riding 4 GTs in a row (2016 Tour + Vuelta, 2017 Giro + Tour). Whoever does that, is finished. He's not been the same world beater since.

[@WeirdNeville]

Yeah, I always feel like Quintana is riding for the paycheck... no fire in him. Which is a shame because with that poker face and his ability he could be a real dark horse!

[@clementdenis4212]

In fact this attack only gave him 20s or something compared to Dumoulin and Pinot. It was really disappointing and the writing was on the wall (or the road) for Dumoulin's final victory. (Of course it's easier to say in hinsight)

[@andrew7taylor]

@@clementdenis4212 Dumoulin's final victory? He still became national champion, World Champion (!), won Giro d'Italia, Tour de France stages and BinckBank Tour overall after this!

2017 was such a great season

[@iiLouixie]

“Back in 2017, when bikes were better…”, LOL. I love it!

[@xx765]

Pinot gave Dumoulin an equally hard time when they were trying to catch Froomey during the epic raid an year later.

[@GoliPowerEIC]

This depth and humour of your analysis is easily the best one. Your details ultimately brought me into cycling. Bought my first bike this year and I am absolutely lovin‘ it. Well done, thanks for that! 💪🏻

Rim brakes? 🤔

Dude it's a gift every time a vid comes up

[@kl3060]

love these throwback recaps

[@tomrachellesfirstdance7843]

I wished Nairo would of climbed like this more often instead of sitting up whenever anyone got clear. When he let loose he was gone so few could stay with him

[@ralr]

[@vinniamsterdam700]

Nairo never ever never rides with someone on his wheel.

[@antoniotorresendi9653]

This was the first stage I saw that got me into cycling still remember that day holy shit nairo was on fire

[@luisbretonv]

Tour de France stage 20 or generally that Tour Nairo was inspiring! Since then cycling has been amazing to watch in general

[@Matthew25405]

Mee too! First race I've ever watched and it got me hooked to cycling. Then the double Stelvio stage helped too

[@nonamedpleb]

I subscribed when you announced the Giro throwback videos. Love these stuff.

[@wbrant6274]

I am loving these giro videos. Keep up the amazing work

[@awesomeprunes]

Great Giro, first one I followed. Fucking loved all of it! The side shots of Landa in blue in the beautiful valleys... Great images.

[@Rasler63]

im really hyped for the next Video. This Video was great, but I also like the ones where more tactic is involved instead of insane w/kg.

[@omaraguilar8992]

I like how you guys narrate races, my props to Nairo he’s a hills annihilator no ways those guys were gonna catch him up that hill Nairo is a Forward pushing machine.

[@captainsushi24]

These throwback videos are amazing

[@bigchungus8126]

@10:45 Skip to here what we all wanted to know and then rewatch the entire video. LR is a man of the people. Made my taint quiver just thinking about the possibility of this video. Leave a comment for possible video titles.

[@JamesErv]

How taking a dump mid race can affect your w/kg and assert dominance over the peleton

[@vinniamsterdam700]

Shit analysed

[@RotatingMass]

funny to see the whole peloton on rim brakes.

[@SergioCristancho]

I see and remmember this Quintana and wonder IF this prime Nairo had a chance against POG and ROG... very different kind or riders But then Quintana use to have 2 or 3 bullets as he attacks steady but making uncomfortable for others to follow ... on the spot I don't want to shade Pinot But every time I see him, remind how big is him how strong is on the climbs and also... how strange is his riding and pacing and eventually is all over the place maybe wasting watts away... that stange shake in the bike stand and even sometimes seated... wonder why he hasn't been capable to catch the ones ahead in the breakaway? ( sarcasm...) and the prime dumolin, was fkn! strong calm and steady ... good times , great analysis LR!

[@hevertovegas3982]

Quintana 2020 yes or yes he would be with them even he is the only one who has risen stronger than them in 2020 it would be a brutal battle on the pogacar tour, roglic and Quintana level 2020

[@vinniamsterdam700]

Nairoman's itt will always bite him against pog and rog

[@noseque07]

His sprinting force was so great he pushed the balloon forward.. this was before he was know NairoInGreen, but still mighty.

[@arvidgustafsson5419]

The finishing TT from 2017 would be a great video!

[@jpcastanedav]

Can't wait for the #poopgate analysis vid! :)

[@graehamhenderson3270]

Finally: the Dumogate video incoming.

[@genaddi1234]

I want to see a top 10 climbers of all time from you. I have a feeling that Quintana is going to be up there 😉

[@jony7779]

[@Simon-le2jk]

Can you do stage 14 of the 2016 Giro? Epic stage with Anacona getting caught by Kruijswijk and Chaves in the end

Strangely didn't get this video in my subscriptions, just now seeing it in my recommended :(

[@captainsushi24]

Same - I think KZbin tried to bury it for some reason

[@shaneglackin]

Fabulous climb, but they didn't go the whole way up it that year. And they didn't take the standard way up either (there are three or, anyway, two and a half; they're doing one and a half of them this year, but I don't know if they're going to the top). Visited it a couple of months later, "Zak" was painted *all over* the roads. It's probably the most similar Italian climb to Ventoux, in that you're going to the top of a mountain rather than over a pass between mountains. Etna too, I suppose, but that's, well, a volcano.

[@iagojohnson5426]

[@devinmorrison7131]

Beautiful seeing the peloton on proper 6.8kg racing bikes, not the 7.5-8kg cyclocross bikes that they ride these days.

[@fredshino]

Why are these motorbikes always screwing up and causing crashes? This is ridiculous...

[@andrew7taylor]

Fun fact: that was a police moto, keeping the law, order and peace, parked on the side of the road as an obstacle for a peloton riding at 50 km/h. Why? Nobody knows, but apparently noone was at fault.

[@extrospectivezak]

Please throwback to some Froome Tour attacks/domination!

Was Nibali the one that attacked when Chris Froome had a mechanical?

[@kappahd7290]

Is who won every GT, 2 Lombardia and a Milano-Sanremo

[@lexanderstoyanov4272]

no it was fabio aru

[@Fyr35555]

It was Fabio Aru in the 2017 Tour de France on the Mont du Chat on stage 9 to Chambery. If I remember correctly they all finished in a sprint together so it didn't matter much.

[@MrThesandyballs]

You are indeed correct. Nibbles attacked Froomey on Croix de Fer in 2015 when he had a mechanical. In 2017 it was Aru´s turn on the Mont du Chat as James said. They clearly could not match the spinning master, so they tried cheap tactics.

Icewall Kruiswijk vs Superman Lopes beeing caught from behind by Assman Dumoulain on Blockhaus.

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

Something is very off about these climbs, it looks as if they are standing still using mountain bike gearing these days. It’s great because no one is grinding but this looks really weird, no crazy attacks like the old EP0 days.

[@Fyr35555]

For 2022 Blockhaus, if he is on form I see this climb suiting Hugh Carthy for a win. Otherwise I think it has to be someone like Yates or Carapaz, maybe Kelderman but since he always crashes who knows 😂

[@marcfarrelly5944]

Yep, Hugh or Yates. I think somone like Eddie Dunbar also would have been a strong contender if he had been brought by INEOS as well, but that is another discussion

[@Fyr35555]

well damn I completely forgot Super Man Lopez!!

[@ktakashismith]

Yeah, Blockhaus is a monster of a climb, though, it's ~40minutes, so my money would go to Superman Lopez
