just incredible!!

[@railzip]

Power!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cabarcas999]

Grande Puerta, es una lastima por que ya se merece un oro en un mundial.

[@user-ek3vo7vo8s]

이무것도 안써있는 검은프레임은 어디껀가요

[@josefmilan6617]

He looks really really cool doesn't he today

[@benmacioszek4700]

Does the Colombian throw an elbow at the line of the third sprint?

[@normaconstanzasarmientovan7702]

😍🇨🇴😍💛💛💜♥️ orgullo colombiano

[@humbertoprieto2013]

Puerta, se descuido en los ultimos 10 metros y esto en la velocidad es mortal, el holandes lo paso por arriba, ademas el gasto en el segundo hit, fue muy largo y lo desgasto.

[@jjlopez_co]

QUé aburrido se ha vuelto esto... recuerdo a los gigantes soviéticos y alemanes, belgas y hasta americanos que se retaban a quedarse estáticos hasta 1 o 2 minutos e iban realmente lentos midiéndose uno al otro, parando varias veces y sorprendiéndose / asustándose uno al otro y sobre todo dando más espectáculo al público... y claro luego explotaban a vuelta y media... Antes era como hacer el amor con pasión, ahora parece que quieren terminar rapidín e irse a dormir cuanto antes XD

[@glywnniswells9480]

Is there any correlation between a 100m sprinter and a track sprinter?

[@ulrichcoats3244]

what is the meaning of the sprinters line?

[@anthonymorris2422]

the space between the red and black you are not allowed to leave when you are sprinting

[@anthonymorris2422]

once once he asked about what it is not why sprinters sprint on it, also the second rule is definitely not true

[@kevinyao6672]

It's hard to believe Kittel and Cavendish can hit 70km/h on a road bike

[@nonametom88]

dont think so

[@emanueleperdoncin8921]

They do u idiot!

[@soundninja99]

It's because of the lead-out. The peleton can get up to 60km/h.

[@jorissvd]

But remember, the 70 is an average - Not the final Speed

[@noobkarriegaming8578]

@@jorissvd you noob. Pro speed average is about 60+ kph. 70+kph is their sprint. Noob

[@rjdriver88]

Exciting finish. I feel bad for puerta because he went all out.

[@wisolf]

+RJ Driver agreed it was a great race, I just wish he hadnt been so childish about the bumping. Makes him look like less of a racer trying to win on a fault even though he is an excellent competitor.

ルッツヘスリッヒ最強！

[@ignacioignacio1328]

Dos animales!!

[@explosives14]

hey so I don't watch cycling a lot, why do they go slow at the beginning then wind up the pace at the end?

[@hugowallace6250]

to conserve enegry or else they'll just burn out

[@Otacatapetl]

A sprint isn't against the clock; it's about who gets over the line first. How long they take is irrelevant.

[@tellvivk]

the one who is behind while sprinting can save a lot of energy, which can be spend on the last lap of the race. Its called Slipstream

[@sawyerramos3113]

strategy

[@soundninja99]

The clock starts at 200 metres to go. They play stratigically against each other until they get there to fight for position.

[@user-mb1nl7zs7u]

速いな～

[@ZAIPROJECT]

Josss

One of hopefuls of young Dutch bmx riders. Just couple of years in track and... Now You know how to achieve such performance at track sprint. I think that Hoy and Stuff have same thing to say.

[@justme-og5xc]

What type of handlebars are on those bikes?

[@moidar9454]

Le Wulf They're called "Sprint Bars".

[@TheZiPProject]

Le Wulf they were both riding with 3t "scatto" sprint bars!

[@harisdaniell]

+MoidarPL not " Drop Bars " ?

[@moidar9454]

Haris daniell Sprint bars are a bit different, just google "sprint bars" and then compare them to "drop bars".

[@harisdaniell]

oh thanks for the info :D

[@user-ww3ee4px8p]

中野浩一最強！

[@danielantonioparracobos9230]

Lástima que no se apoye el Deporte en Colombia ... Por qué hay talento perdido 😕

Of course I shared this at WAF, where cyclists meet: facebook.com/groups/wielrennenANEKDOTES

[@rsg1682]

Even at bikes, dutch dont know how to ride lol

[@jjlopez_co]

How boring has become this ... remember the giant Soviet and German, Belgian and even Americans who challenged each other to remain static until 1 or 2 minutes and were really slow measured each other, stopping several times and surprised / spooking each another and especially giving more show to the public ... and of course then exploited on lap and a half ... Before it was like making love with passion, now it seems to want to finish quickie and go to sleep as soon as possible!

[@seanpower4865]

I agree. The increase of gear sizes has made the difference. When I race 106" and smaller I can use those old tactics; but in the larger gears we cant sit around, we have to wind it up.

[@steveshorter]

The worlds most stupid event

[@mrjakobt]

Care to explain your opinion? It's a highly tactical sport.

[@martinmarin1170]

How you ever see your face at your mirror...?

[@garrgadrel5407]

Puerta lo tenía que cerrar para que no pasara, así como hizo el país bajeño
