He didn't pull him, he was letting him know he was there. And the FDJ rider didn't even complain

[@error.418]

His name is Ramon Sinkeldam, and he specifically said afterwards it was fair play

[@LupusUmbra]

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

[@RIFIANBOY]

Thank you 🙏

[@LupusUmbra]

For the controversy around 7:20 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.

This was the one of the best documentaries of cycling that I have ever seen, great video as well as montage, as well as explaining the short story of absolute legend cyclist.

[@Vegathlete]

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

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

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

[@flyingdutchy01]

i dont know a thing about professional cycling but i loved this documentary! thanks!

[@dylanmeyer6614]

Fantastic. I only occasionally follow professional cycling, but this story of Van Der Poel was truly epic. Thank you for this documentary.

[@omprajapati29]

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..❤

[@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.

[@heday32]

Love it! Awesome production and narrative.

[@heroziolkowskimendoza9800]

Finally! Another documentary. ❤

[@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

[@Shandy6733]

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

[@renedekkers-gm8nj]

Wow, what a great video. So well done. Many many thnx for this ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@franckpolleux8728]

Thank you for this majestic video!

[@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.

[@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

[@tonyg3091]

That 60km/h attack on the cobbles of Roubaix tho…absolute animal. But there is one other thing that he does brilliantly-the leadouts for Philipsen at last year’s Tour were a joy to watch.

[@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!

[@birdofprey108]

amazing highlight! felt every moment VDP is freaking incredible

[@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 !

[@joneinarmattiasvisser6113]

7:30 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

[@error.418]

Yep, that rider is Ramon Sinkeldam who afterwards also said it was fair play

[@Cycle7599]

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