Tirreno-Adriatico 2021 - Stage 5 Highlights | Cycling | Eurosport

[@theculture1285]

those races are unbelievably interesting everything could happen. Its so much fun to watch in the last years

[@HarrieH]

Interview in Dutch: Interviewer: 'Why did you attack this early?' MvdP: 'I was just a bit cold.' :o

[@TGShunai]

I guess you mean "Interview in Dutch"? Because "Interview in the Netherlands" tells us about the location where the interview was held, not the language in which the questions were asked.

[@HarrieH]

Haha you're right, was not really awake yet when I wrote that comment 😅

[@Tjoek-ch9vn]

Races with mvdp are always great to watch. A real legend 🐐

[@louisb7598]

MVP just hates slipstream!

[@tinrebic8702]

Did he attack alone or am I dreaming? That man is a machine

[@gauloisrefractaireenexilvo4366]

After only 5 stages, time gaps in the Top 10 are similar to those of a 3-week Grand Tour. These riders belong to a different planet.

[@joshuawhittaker1197]

People watching and slagging off Kirby for commentating need to get a grip. We're watching highlights, not live.. He's one of the greatest English speaking commentators in the modern era

[@Jerundd]

True, but he's definitely done a better job in the past and that's why people are upset. He speaks like he's working from home and has his kids sleeping right next to him and he's trying to avoid waking them up..

[@joeviloria2494]

Carlton does a magnificent job commentating stage after stage. He along with Dan Lloyd are doing an excellent job and I also get a good laugh out of his small jokes.

[@cyberbeat11]

Kirby is a god

[@EmmeCalde]

What a race!

[@matprlz]

Did he F’n really?! Like, does he come into these races trying to make them as exciting and enjoyable to watch as possible orrr...?

[@Tim-K.]

😂He’s such a madman for also dropping everyone apart from, I believe, 8 riders at ca. 70km. It was exciting to watch, but it most likely wasn’t the best thing to do. I think many GC guys hated him during the stage - apart from Poga of course. He also said he attacked at more than 50km because he was cold...

[@nigelstead8424]

@@Tim-K. MVP has won quite a few stages of the Arctic Race of Norway, maybe for the same reason!

[@Tim-K.]

@@nigelstead8424 😂Yeah, it’s a wonder that he didn’t win the WC back in 2019 when it was cold and wet: perhaps he had fever😉

[@florgoris528]

MVDP attacked today cause he was really cold and he was thinking that if he attacked he could get warmer hahaha I love it when he starts. Cause he and van aert are such a clash. I am Belgian so I have been watching them for years and It just keeps getting more intense.

[@Tim-K.]

@@florgoris528 WVA, Poga and MVDP are just aliens - their performances are just incredible - (yet they still remain very humble), and they make this sport a lot more entertaining than it already was

[@robertnvd]

Epic race!

[@lesflynn4455]

God damn wish this race was televised in Australia. It's a cracking race ever year. I don't watch enough cycling to get a GCN race pass, but jeez I wish I had one now. That is, if GCN can show it down under.

[@TC-ik9kn]

Let's just have a nap, after your commentary hahaha

[@ResmeN]

Great commentary as usual. Go Tadej

[@urbanjungle9600]

Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Gianetti - there’s nothing more to say

[@kontex616]

Lovee the commentary!! Bruhh

[@markopodganjek845]

I like the climate and terrain of this race. It is much more riders friendly then Pariz Nice. Also here is few times less crashes and injuries.

[@samuele8361]

Yeah that freezing rain and strong cold wind look so friendly

[@rudyveenstra5]

I see some people don't like the commentary. Just wanted to say I could listen to that voice commenting on grass growing all day long

[@markrossell8685]

well wasn't that Carlton Kirby after he has smoked a joint? or did he do that post coital?

[@ciuffo4928]

I bet pogacar was not pleased with his chain

[@joeviloria2494]

What a ride by Tadej. He cut a lead of 2:37 down to just 10 seconds and after finishing he looked like he can still do two more laps or something.

[@hendrikheemels8615]

That's why I don't trust him.

[@danilicious2308]

Well.. Gaining lots of time on someone who's running on empty is quite easy. Especially when that guy has been driving solo for 40km already, while Poga had the benefit of a teammate and being able to use others for a bit. Nevertheless an imposing drive by Poga and I expect him to retain his title in the tour the France if he manages to keep this form.

[@markopodganjek845]

Ha, MVDP had almost same fillings as Roglic at TT of tdf 20. Another km and would be caught by Pogacar

[@slahudeenhussain5297]

Yeah but he was also riding solo for like 30km more than Pogacar

Carlton is usually ridiculously exciting and entertaining-he often gets accused and told to tone it down - maybe he’s listening but turned it down too much!
