Vincenzo Nibali's GENIUS Descent off the Poggio | Milano Sanremo 2018

[@bigchungus8126]

This gives us hope that the deep dive analysis of Dumoulin dropping his bibs to take a deuce on the side of the road in the Giro is on its way. Brewing if you will. I can sleep well tonight knowing it's coming up.

[@texwallis]

This is the deep-dive LR recap that I requested on Twitter a while back. It has to happen.

The crazy raid by Froome that gained him a Giro in 2018 MUST be in one of the future videos!

[@jasonjohnson9072]

The one where he did a Landis? Shouldn’t be glorified. That ride is clouded in suspicion. If you follow Lanterns early stuff he knows how to spot a radioactive performance. There are known human limits that if exceeded are massive red flags. Not proof mind you but very suspicious. Since he made it big he doesn’t make vids like that anymore and I haven’t checked but he likely got rid of them once he gets associated with big brands that sponsor these guys. But that don’t mean he got stoopid.

[@kaMosGO]

@@jasonjohnson9072 Isn't that why a greater analysis with estimated data would be great, just to see how nuclear that was? And if you are that suspicious about that ride - stop watching sports. Btw, Froomes performance that day was also massively exaggerated by the mistakes his rivals on the road made, so analysing what went wrong would be great

[@christopherdolan7330]

This race was an absolute work of art by Vincenzo Nibali. A magnum opus.

[@noni1532]

No. He was lucky

[@bigchungus9949]

In addition to the comedy (always there) as a newer fan of the sport i’ve learned so much from watching these videos, and there’s really no other outlet/creator doing things like this on the past years/races from pro cycling at this level of insight. Hopefully the re-broadcast rights and viewership numbers are both there to make this worthwhile, we would love to see as many of these as you can put out.

[@fragfarmerCA]

There's "How the race was won", now on CyclingTips, by Cosmo Catalano. Awesome creator!

When he won lombardy attacking on the descent close to the finish, tactical masterpiece. The guy reads a race so well.

[@zzhughesd]

Was a beautiful revisit. One of my most memorable wins. Beautiful. Italian on via Roma. How does the sort get much better

[@Mexxx65]

Another great race review LR!! I thought I watched every pedal stroke of Nibali's solo Sanremo win....never noticed the mobile phone flying from the perpetrators hand in the final stretch of the race!

[@galenkehler]

Best MSM win ever, perfect timing from Nibali to post up and let the sprinters get just close enough for the pictures

[@paulruffy8389]

Love Nibbles, absolute class. Even timed looking over his shoulder and celebrating perfectly.

[@noni1532]

His descent was average. This is not an opinion.

[@iansemroc8943]

Not class at all, always attacked when his rivals crashed

[@theaccidentalanthropologis2743]

I didn’t watch much racing pre2019 but the clip of Kriswijk crashing in the snowbank seems like a leader of some interesting stuff

[@TSEEMOD_618]

Oh gosh, we will miss Vincenzo so much in the next years. Even at his last season, 4th at Giro. What a fucking Legend.

[@vinniamsterdam700]

I am very happy that LR got the rights for the footage of this races. Contador on the mortirolo.

[@lesflynn4455]

This is by far the most courageous and entertaining win of MSR that I've seen. A fucking awesome assault by Nibali.

[@texwallis]

Fantastic review, thanks. I can't believe that was only 4 years ago, seems more like 8-10.

[@Elmero_mero]

Love the ballsy before-the-line salute as Nibs can’t contain his excitement! Forza Francesco

[@Kaspew3]

Loving these videos. 2016 Giro had some truly memorable stages. Fantastic finish to stage 18 with Trentin, Brambilla and Moser, and the combo of stage 19 and 20 that secured Nibali the victory still sits with me as one of the most memorable grand tour finales.

[@fat82much]

Yes agreed! With der kleerhanger. Never really rose to those height again

[@cpanczak]

Wow, legendary win, worth a mention that Nibali is a very good time-trialist which I'm sure helped him a lot to maintain his lead on that last few kms of flat section. Great analysis with a good dose of humour as usual - the phone moment was LOL!

[@clementdenis4212]

This race was one of my best cycling memory. So much love for Nibali. Please do Pinot's victory in Lombardia, this guy is so unlucky he deserves us to cheer on his wins !

[@josephrabinowitz5290]

I'm glad to see you review one of my all time favorite performances. Nibali has always been a favorite of mine for his tactical sense.

[@jdslfc]

I feel like Mohoric's skill is hugely underapreciated, it is not a matter of how much of a daredevill you are. It is knowing how to go fast, a really big skillset he has shown to have throughout the years. Not easily spotted by those who haven´t spend a lot of time understanding the art of going fast.

The starting question - "How did Vincenzo Nibalie a man with no sprint win..." lol it immediately brought back flashes of the time he was dragged to the front of a race by a car (cant recall whether it was the tour or giro or vuelta) in one of those years!

[@ludomilne641]

Chris Froome 2018 Giro raid please. His decline depresses me and would love to see some OG Froome savagery.

[@ihzbc]

Trentin didn't made a mistake here, it was a very good tactic but he just didn't have the legs. Ewan is not sure winnig the sprint but Trentin is sure that if he catchs Nibali 1) he beats him 2) they look at each other and the ewan group cames back. He can't loose to Nibali and if the group cames back it's okay for Ewan, it's the same result as if Trentin pulls... So this is the first reason why trentin moves maximised Michelton scott's chances to win Also this move forced other teams especially Groupama fdj to work so they don't have the leadout for the sprint and we know it's important for Démarre, may be if Trentin pulls they get back and Demarre wins, who knows ? It was a great tactic, believe me 😉
