I love the mutual respect between those two. You can see it in the eyes of Pogacar when he looks at how deep MvdP goes for his jersey
I think any cyclists got to give it to MVDP being so talented on the bike - he beat Kung's time!
@@cnay2983 no he didn't. Kung was 19 secs slower than pogacar. Mvdp was 30 secs slower.
MVDP ... baller. Absolute beast.
@@ml8022 and how did you come to that conclusion exactly? if a rider uses dope and drugs it'll come out.. don't think he would risk it all...
@@ml8022 Armstrong live in completely different era when it all just starts
@@ml8022 that is a big thing to say whitout any proof.... Mathieu is born on a bike.
@@Vanessa-so3ve And look at his father and grandfather... all the perfect genes!
@@ml8022 If anyone is doping, it's Pogacar. Every single stage MDVP is almost dying from exhaustion, and then Pogacar finishes 30 seconds faster and looks like he could've done it twice...
Pogačar, MVDP, van Aert, Bernal, Almeida, Evenepoel - if everything is clean there, cycling has a damn bright future! 💛
No gloves, no shades, railing the corners and keeps the yellow jersey
He doesn't need shades, when doing cyclocross his face is covered in mud without shades.
I think he did start with shades, but removed it later on.
Awesome!
Impresionante MVDP, quedar 5to en su primera crono, en su primera crono individual en una gran vuelta y quedar 5to, impresionante sin palabras 😅
Its kinda weird that a mountain climber like pogacar can put those Watts with no fluke, after last year. I hope we dont have to read in a few years that he was into some kind of doping.
He's on a team run by Gianetti and Matxin. Obviously incredibly gifted but a connection with those two is never good.
but this is why GC riders are special. They can put out more watts than any other rider relative to their body weight. So say Pogacar does 6.5 watts/kg but MvDP can "only" do 6 for the same time. Well, Pogacar is more aerodynamic being smaller sized *and* he's heavy enough that this 6.5 multiplied by his weight gives a big watt number which matters in time trials and can match the output of a bigger rider like MvDP even though the latter is much heavier.
Incidentally this is the reason you don't see 60 kilogram GC men anymore. They get smoked in the time trials because they just don't have the superior power ouput that a 65 kilo person like Roglic or Pogacar has.
Its really weird that Pococar was still so fit immediately after the race like nothing happened.
Lots of dope dude!
0:15 he was obviously using the car's draft.
No, he had to slow down because of the car.
@@andrejassvab8093 He comes off his line to use the car's draft. He didn't slow down because his hands weren't even on the brakes. He would have to come out of the tt position to use the brakes. He was in the position the whole time.
No, he had to slow down pedalling.
@@andrejassvab8093 he didn't slow pedallimgat all.
i can not help if you do not see it.
at 1:53
"railing it around this corner"
MVDP: completely misses the apex of both corners
You clearly have no idea about TT. He took those 2 corners perfectly, losing as few speed as possible
even the commentator said "wow thats how you handle a bike"
@@nikolic5 this defenelty wasn't the best line.
On such a tight corner you obviously should take the wide line to keep as much momentum as possible, otherwise he wouldve had to break before and accelerate again after the corner
