These guys are so skilled to be riding on the beach with this skinny tires
Sometimes I think I'd like to try out Cyclocross, and then I watch things like this and remember that I like my collarbones.
My heart would skip a beat if i saw this guys power graph in this races
An hour of absolute pain.
where i can find it?
If you find it, please tell us 🙂
1:36 "It's not technical this course ..." Coulda fooled me!
That bridge was so steep and they made mincemeat of it. Good race, Van Aert rode so aggressive but mvdp is so good.
Did you see MvdP got our of his pedal on that bridge and just clicked in again? Amazing....
WVA and MVDP were both incredibly good. It seemed like MVDP cracked under pressure in the first rounds - he was not sharp at all - and eventually even crashed due to it. Then WVA had bad luck and had a lesser second half because of it. I would’ve liked to see this battle without the flat tyre, I think MVDP would’ve won nevertheless, but would’ve definitely been much closer. The only reason I watch CX is the fact that these 2 legends race here.
@@JD-oe5uc its in the highlight somwhere? if yes could you tell the time where we can see it?
@@Tim-K. well he was under pressure but did you see the line where he crashed ? It was deep and sideways . I would have crashed to without pressure 😂 but yeah ur right it Would have been closer . But Wva came back with 3 seconds behind but mvdp rode flawless trough those sand strokes and Wva cracked on that 21% steep bridge and that was were the race was over . They both lost 11 seconds (mvdp with the crash, and wva with the puncture ) so it is quit . And mvdp came closer before wva had a flat tire
But respect for all riders , and the 2 did a amazing job . I love those plot twists in races
Looked like a seriously tough course... that sand looked brutal
Es un escándalo!
This was anybody's race (VDP, VA). The difference is so small between these two. very entertaining to watch.
I think even without the puncture MVDP would’ve won, because he was incredibly strong in the second half of the race, but unfortunately we will never know for certain. These 2 already are legends and they will certainly have many battles in the future.
Look who are the 1st and 2nd places in tdf! amazing
Impressive Performance 💪by all athletes! Congrats to the old and new cyclo cross world champion 🚀
Goddamn punctures.
this is the 1st time i have ever seen cyclocross and i love it
De Beste heeft weeral gewonnen..
Doe zo verder, Mathieu!!!!
Yo vanderpoel looks fast can't wait for next season
Nice race Curtis!! 20th - you're the man!
No wonder why MVDP & WVA are performing well at road cycling. Imagine going almost entirely full gas for 1 hr at that extremely difficult race course. Hats off to these athletes 👏
Elite beasts on bikes. Amazing focus, determination and overcoming so many conditions and obstacles. Very inspiring and convicting at the same time. Ok, ok, I'll workout today...
new golden in cycling, these 2 + that French gentleman = never before seen level. (there is not even need to edit videos to be aggressive/cool/whatever. the amazingness is very apparent without it, maybe even moreso)
Best two cyclists in the world. Amazing year for both and they will just get better.
Omg that looked brutal
This guys are amazing !! Vander Poel # 1 !!
Full gas on that climb was so sick!
Que buen circuito!🔥
This...this is a real sport. A duel.
Great event, tough racing and top quality footage and comments. When is the next event? The European Spring campaign isn't going to happen, sadly.
Naive but serious question: what's going to cause a puncture on such courses?
anything could be under that sand. Tiny sharp pebble, a broken sea shell or shard of glass.
Serious talent MVDP!
Can’t wait for this to come to Fayetteville
This bridge looks so brute!!!
21%
Nice battle
Brutal!
Still the goat
Tommy Pidcock 🥰🥰 Didn't get the medal champ but you'll come back stronger 💪
Greats
Would have been even more fun to watch without Van Aert's puncture!
It still was fun to watch. Punctures happen, it's part of racing. What if's are not important.
@@bertgroeneveld57 true but he's right
eles tem muita tecnica
I cried for the bikes.
Van der Poel were very lucky witn the puncture on Van Aert tire.
i'd enjoy watching cyclo-cross more if I understood what the length of the races are. I found this bit on the net but haven't a clue what it means, it's so complicated-
"The rulebook says that races (elite men) have to last for approximately one hour. The jury notes the lap times in the first two laps and after that they calculate how many laps the riders will have to ride. In a regular race, the goal is to get as close to 60 minutes as possible, but in a world cup race the race has to last longer than one hour. So if one lap takes 6 minutes, elite men have to ride 10 laps in a regular race and 11 laps in a world cup race (women and U23 men race for 50 minutes, juniors for 40 minutes).
Crazy
Pidcock being chased by 4 Belgians....sure we'll see that again over the coming years in one day races on the road. Good race all round!
MVDP 🔥
Esse maluco é bom
Esperando um comentário em português
Aqui está, boas desde Londres
does anybody know the name of the Song played at the beginning/end ?
WvA👍💪
What's the gradient on the bridge's up-ramp?
MVDP was just luckier today, but as I watched it live, WVA looks like he had it if not for the puncture.
Wout was strong but I disagree, he was losing time and tiring during the second half of the race, and wasn’t as efficient throughout the sand sections. But kudos to both of them
You didnt se the crash and the recovery of MDVP? its no lucky
@@diaz900 Remember, MVDP got a flat tire in Overijse and WVA won as MVDP couldn't recover. The same thing happened in Ostende to WVA, that is why I think MVDP is luckier. Don't get mad, I only meant that luck also played a role in this race, as it has always been in our lives.
It's the same thing in the last race mvdp has a puncture also...that's y wva won the race the last time...
@@lukasbrandt1660 He lost that grit after the tire got punctured. Maybe that's what happen to people who are not having a good day. Anyways, a great and exciting race from MVDP and WVA, as well as Aerts and Pidcock.
why doesn't this get shown on any UK TV! Tour de france etc gets on ITV this is way better and more fun to watch!
Link for the full race??
Check out their channel :)
what are they performing in a race? - 350 watts... 450 watts... peak watts?
yeah i think normalised 380 watts for one hour, mathieu said on his instagram his ftp for 20 min is 450 watts in good condition.
And peak watts i dont know i think in the start the peaks watts at around 1200 i think.
I would guess they hit some extremely high numbers in the sand. The faster you go in the sand, the easier it is to stay on the bike and vice versa.
Thats why "power" race (xc or xc) more fun to watch than major road tour race
Road stages race lot of boring until last 20kms lol
Great point !
Criterium racing is my favorite to watch and race
Tan Escabrosa
👏👏👏
Porque los frenos suenan asi?
why do they let them swap bikes in CX but not in XC
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Such a good race till the puncture anything coulda happened if it hadn’t happened
MVDP had the fastest average lap times even after the puncture and don't forget the crash
yeah the puncture cost him just a tiny bit.. MvdP even gained back up to 8 seconds before the puncture.. after the puncture he was ahead a few seconds.. But even when Wout van Aert cam back slightly.. he couldnt manage.. and then completely lost it and finished 30+ seonnds
@@wbaareshit1981 Don't foget that WVA rode with a flat for half a lap, not losing too much time saps energy and afterwards there is no time to regain his strength.
People seem to only look at the lost time and not the lost energy.
Did anyone ever use the drop bars?
En español no sabía de una competencia así
how do you get a puncture on a track like this?
Low tire pressure and bad luck.
Who knows what size tires these guys use for this kind of thing ?
33mm
Real shame; the puncture killed the race as a spectacle. Women's was good though.
Disagree. The race would have been more exciting for 1 extra lap. But Mathieu was overall the strongest and would've dropped Wout in the next lap. Both very strong riders and respect for their efforts.
@@p0w3rfull1 2 problems; 1) Wva was clearly gapping vdp before his puncture and 2) you're Dutch. Patriotism is for the unintelligent. We don't know who would have won so don't claim to do so. The puncture made things worse and that's that.
Martijn van Dam they were both as strong this race WVA juist burned through zo much energy with the flat tyre. MVDP would have never closer the gap without it. No hate towards van der poel or Any other rider, i'm juist saying.
@@quickgame8868 No puncture would slow you down but if he can not cope with a flat tyre for a minute or two what's all the training for?
he had the puncture after the big bridge climb.. On the bridge climb.. he was 8 seconds in front.. MvdP already made up ground before the puncture.. After the puncture. he was about 7 seconds behind.. I dont think he lost because of the puncture
“Lets get a mtb”
MVP smoked everyone
Super ironman 🚴♂️💨💨💪🏾🏆🥇🍾😎
Enquanto Van Aert conrinuar descendo da Bike não vai bater Van de Poel nunca
Cyclocross Gods: okay so puncture goes to WVA this time
They were being nice 😉 Remember the world championship in 2017....4 flats for MvdP. He must have pissed them off real bad back then.
bummer about the flat. not only did it directly make wout lose 30 ish seconds, but he also paid for the effort of riding with a puncture for half a lap.
After the flat he made like 4 mistakes in the sand, that did him in not the flat.
@@xigol9184 He never made a mistake before he had the flat, the only reason he made mistakes after is because he was cooked after half a lap on a flat
@@wouterhaumont4411 but they both had their problems, mvdp went straight over the bars too
@@SamGenazzini Don't you think a mistake leads to crashing? It doesn't happen by chance.
@@xigol9184 that’s because he was giving his all to catch back up, you make mistakes under pressure everyone does, the reason why MVDP wasn’t crashing after his head over heels crash is because he was safely in the lead, all he had to do was keep a steady effort whereas WVA had to risk it all to catch up
VDP didn’t change the bike for two laps after the crash!
he did.. he said he skipped the 1 first .. but then he changed bikes, the one after the finish.. there are 2 bike change zones in a round.. His saddle broke.. and he swapped
@@D0nKeY I saw the twisted saddle, missed the bike change
did the champion ride a canyon inflite?
yes
@@Hugo-um8nh does he used di2 or wireless? how much does his setup cost? (aprrox)
@@polarisnebro2074 you knew to CX ?. czcams.com/video/Cqz2bmv6kfk/video.html its a rebuild of his bike. he uses Durace Di2.
@@polarisnebro2074 He uses Dura Ace Di2, you could probably estimate the cost by looking at the parts that go on the bike, here's a build video: czcams.com/video/Cqz2bmv6kfk/video.html
When they climb the "hill" I can't help to see Waouts rear tire pressure. Low. Maybe for the soft terrain
The bridge
The 2021 UCI Cyclo-cross World Champion is .... The Punctured Tyre.
this is more individual oriented then tdf
How my parents got to school:
With out poncture, maybe. ..
반더폴은 진짜 뭐냐 대체..

WTF MACHINE MVDP!!
Van der poel won that race
Why?

Une véritable marée orange chez les hommes et les femmes et ceci dans toutes les catégories.... Encore le seum pour la Belgique 🤣🤣
What an extreme badluck for Van Aert, would Van der poel come back when van aert didn't heve puncture ? SURE NOT why would he, he was in opform and he beats Van der Poel all day long on that parcours. People don't realize that he had puncture on real bad spot, 3 min before the pits. He lost 30 seconds and lot of resources, while Van der Poel got an easy ride to get back on and over him. I say terrible badluck because getting here a puncture is 1 on 1000 laps maybe. Their is not one rider in top 20 that got puncture for the whole race besides Van Aert, so don't say it belongs to the sport. All other races this season I can life with it somehow but not this parcours and F Uking at WORLDS!!! WHy why why. Van Aert was best here, but Van der Poel took it. Congrats to Van der Poel I love this guy to. And CHAPEAU to Toon Aerts and that swiss guy, nice race. Its just sad that the most badluck that Van Aert got on all his races is just on the WC (Toilet , no im kidding)
Did you watch the race? Before the puncture happened . MvdP was back within 8 seconds.. specific notice to the bridge climb where he gained a lot.. This was before the puncture. To say he wouldnt gain 8 seconds the rest of the race is kind of silly.. the next laps he won time at all the crucial points. mainly the sand stretch before the climb, the climb itself.. and then the technical parcour..
Pidcock is british BTW.
@@D0nKeY It is very much possible he could gain 8 more seconds even without the puncture, just like it was equally possible that he'd lose 8 more seconds instead. MVDP made up these 8-10s due to a good passage, if WVA gets a good one and MVDP an average one, it would again go up.
The puncture essentially lost WVA the race, would he have certainly won without it? I am not sure, but imo he had the best papers.
@@MDP1702 in my opinion he didnt lose the race because of the puncture. like you said.. its about good passage. And we saw that WvA struggled a few times the next laps after the puncture where lost up to 10 seconds a round. So in that sense the puncture where he lost like 8 and then the bike change so lets say 15 seconds in total. It would still mean he lost.. because of MvdP having better lap times after the puncture.. enough to make up for those 8 to 15 seconds time loss.
Terrible course.
Tell me, what cyclist in the entire world rides their bike own sand. Answer, nobody, sand ruins bikes. Moronic race, give the Belgium team doctor 1st place and liquidate the UCI mafia.
Sand is rather often used in cyclocross, though this is an extreme example.
Answer: All real cyclists. Bikes are meant to be used. Cyclocross and Gravel bikes are designed for sand. You are supposed to clean and maintain your bike after every single ride. When parts get worn out you replace them. If you don’t do this you are not a real cyclist.
@@mikaniskavaara3031 lol, whatever kook
lets be honest - its only a matter of time before tom dominates and wout deserved that
Haha no
what
I dont see that happening to be honnest. Wout and Mathieu are just too powerfull and Tom is too light. Maybe he will be able too win on a very hilly course once with a bit of luck. In my opinion his real future is on the road.
@@casperbakker742 yes but if you look at tom and how young he is I could see him dominating in a few years
@@felixnewton7556 i don't think so. Mvp won his first elite cyclocross world championship at the age of 18. Pitcock is 21 so...
