Pogacar attacks uphill, downhill, on the cobbles, on the flats, on the dirt… what a baller. True racer.

[@MarkTomeh]

Absolutely fearless

[@chivacetana]

💉

[@bruceraymer4323]

Dude just different

[@BMXTraining]

"Leads out the Sprint!"

[@jst6114]

like mvdp does

[@PJArne15]

Could there be a better top 3 than this? What a race. Fantastic!

[@gcnracing]

We're unlikely to see a stronger podium at any race this season!

[@lamf4846]

Pidcock.

[@ezramullen4551]

Evenopoel/Roglic/Pogacar equally baller

[@mmfong297]

Poga got no chance in a sprint with them..

[@informationgames]

Had to flash back to this comment after today's World Championship road race.

[@systemicchaos3921]

Watched this live. What a race, nothing like seeing these 3 race against each other because they all have superhuman abilities

[@gcnracing]

And we get to watch them do it all over again in just over a week's time! 🙌

[@nurinakpoglu5209]

Hangi yarıs veya etap

[@jonmahecha7353]

Que carrera fue?

[@chrisscanlon3717]

superhuman... yes... doped to the gills!

[@joshiedL]

The 3 most exciting cyclists to watch, all going head to head. Doesn’t get much better!!

[@lukewalker1051]

Pogacar is a monster, but Van Aert said, oh no, not today. Pure beast mode.

[@ajmszofelyn8298]

Its incredible that pogacar is able to keep theirs wheel during he is a mountain beast..

[@Rugemanoa]

I bet no one could have imagined that we will be seeing this trio at the podium again in the world championship

[@ozzie_the_aussie]

This is a display of one of the greatest rivalries on road cycling, in my opinion.

[@robertgiguere875]

3 Professionals that are all a credit to their sport and sportsmanship

[@jasmijnariel]

Top 3 of the world❤

[@jailtonmedeiros7845]

Três dos melhores profissionais do mundo do ciclismo...💪💪💪

[@someirishfella1704]

This and the van aert/vingegard punishing they gave pogacar have to be the best moments of the 2020s cycling scene

[@skybono]

Gcn should put what is this race in the title.

[@gustavbrixjensen2342]

E3 Saxo Classic

[@blaketart496]

Great race! Sucks there has to be a loser when they were all working so well together. Gosh what if Tommy P. didn't have the concussion issues and he and possibly Matej Mohoric could have all been there together. Flanders is gonna be the BEST race of the year for sure. Hope it's wet and windy so we'll have something EPIC.

[@vivianvandermerwe1380]

You called it, what a race, up there with the top 5 best one day races ever for me👌👌

[@jeffyboyreloaded]

the crowd going crazy is soooo awesome

[@ghcheong]

Wohoo! 🎉🎉Nicely done Wva!

[@d-rosejames4553]

They are Amazing!!! Love them three!!!

[@Colquhoun7]

EPIC!!!!

[@Lion-wd1px]

MVDP looked strongest but attacked the most and spent most time in the wind when the trio was formed, I think thats when he lost the race. But he probably wont do the same mistakes in Paris or RVV so lets go

[@Lion-wd1px]

I called Paris Roubiax lol

[@atedejong5620]

what would cycling be without these 3 for day races!!!

[@yatakimem4676]

Tdf is going to be exciting🚴💨

[@terrykalundula2861]

Fantastic battle amigos 👏🏾

[@sinquinjp372]

Cette fin de course reflète un combat de Titan 😀🚴✌️ pour connaître le vainqueur Belge tel Wout Van Aert 😃🙏🇧🇪

[@joshuakazfields4374]

Amazing race

[@hannahyorra6621]

Well done all of you!!🎉

[@thomaslester3318]

Wrong camera angle to tell who was the wiinner at the finish line. No photo finish replay FROM THE SIDE. 😅

[@thomaslester3318]

I.typed CAMERA 😮

[@captainswing5408]

What a battle !!!! Wonderful fight...👍💪

[@carlocasciaro3598]

Che spettacolo!❤

[@sharinglanguage]

That finish was very interesting. You could have thought: Pogacar was the strongest during the race, and he sprints well. So he could win. Or: VDP proved to be very strong during the race and managed to not get dtopped by Pogacar. And is good at sprinting in small groups (has even beaten Van Aert that way sometimes). And Van Aert, dropped before, goes and beats them. Not only we can tremendously enjoy them individually, given their top class talent and determination to win. But also when they arrive together, since it is most times quite unpredictable who will win.

[@user-xr5tg9qo2v]

HOORAY!!!

[@wcr4]

Pogacar knew he wouldn't be able to win a sprint against those two but just couldn't lose them before

[@NoahisFast]

Did yall notice the ass slap😂

[@simongreig6764]

What a crowd

[@cristinalemos2822]

Queria que Pogi ganhasse mas gosto demais tb do Wout...Parabéns ❤

[@mbdelker]

Not a chance Tadej beats either of those beasts in a sprint!! He had to try and surprise them to have any chance!!

[@chancethe9374]

How scary would it be if these three were on the same team?

[@gustavbrixjensen2342]

pretty scary

[@annukun7318]

what kind of shoes are they wearing

[@4thegloryofthelord]

One of these days, someone in the crowd will mess things up badly for the one that was supposed to win.

[@ralph6968]

Pogacar still have a lot to learn.

[@flyingchimp12]

He’s not built for cobbles?

[@yurigophotography9124]

not human..

[@carlomiguelcortez6610]

Has these 3 ever been off the podium in the races they have been on?

[@brittle1]

Go yumbo wisma!

[@jirisvoboda4884]

Excelent all three sportsman doing cycling exciting and atractive

[@JesusIsLove7869]

Pogi what amazing player 😮😮😮

[@Iamdoingagoodjob]

Love the Red Bull helmet

[@pmlecorre8080]

Que des champions sûr le podium 🎉😊

[@trilheiroraiz2659]

Tem gente que quando olha pensa que é fácil do ciclista chegar até esse nível de profissionalidade,mas vou te falar que é difícil 👍,meu pedal máximo foi de 101 km numa MTB.

[@trilheiroraiz2659]

Posso afirmar que não é fácil pois as costas doem muito e o corpo inteiro dói do mesmo jeito.

[@javidelatorre4200]

The power men 👏👏👏👏

[@mallorcapanoramic]

Which is that race? I don't remember

[@martinklepka3322]

E3 classic

[@mallorcapanoramic]

What race was this?

[@user-ur7hj3oz3q]

[@laurinblue]

What race was it?

[@arwi4098]

if there was no motorcycle accident, maybe a duel finish would have occurred between Pogacaŕ and van der Poel

[@lucianotogni8082]

👏 3 ❤

[@kevsweb747]

WVA ❤❤❤

[@rasid1015]

Gc 라이더인 포가챠르가 저둘과 이런 코스에서 자웅을 겨룬다는거 자체가 대단

[@tristantheuerkorn5124]

Is this Gent-Welvegem?

[@donquique1]

Have pogi slam the bottle on the floor now lol

[@badsamaritansofficial6704]

That motorcycle falling to slow Pog and MVDP when wva was gapped and the fans pushing WVA where really a shame. Would have been a different race. Fans should keep their hands to themselves and not influence it.

[@waterfordrs22]

It’s a bummer, it’s also a part of bicycle racing. Look at Paris Roubaix this year. MVP could have been taken out in that collision on the cobbles. Wout saw the opportunity, made the attack only to flat. He winds up towing one of MVP’s teammates to the velodrome, I guy who can sprint better than he can. That’s bicycle racing. Who wouldn’t have wanted to see those two riders Duke it out in the velodrome? I’ve always thought a winner of Roubaix should go alone and finish alone. That’s the amazing thing about the sport, as spectators, we get to see countless missed opportunities. These three riders are all generational talents.they’ve got nothing to prove, enjoy the races for what they are. We can’t take what we are seeing for granted.

[@Onlyriding320]

He actually tapped out before the line. Soft!

[@mnr.Nilson]

Drie mooie smaakmakers

[@user-sq4mwfioe]

Revenge of 2022. It was also great game, but Pogacar was trapped.
