Valverde : "Why wasn't your team chasing you? Your tactics make no sense to me!"
Valverde was asking if Kuss would help pace down Carapaz next week.
Absolute SAVAGE caption!!
Or if he can help chase down Lopez....
Valverde probably saying ‘if I was 15 yrs younger I’d have beaten you’
if he was 15 years younger hed be banned for substance use i think...
It is probably more like I will beat you when you are as old as I am now... :-)
@@jedendve7515 Yeah, whatever
15? he was killer just 2-3 years ago!
LR, you do the highlights better than everyone out there. Others cut straight to the final kilometers and I have absolutely no idea what happened before. Whereas with your highlights I get an excellent understand of how exactly the entire stage played out. Chapeau!
LR is tha real MVP
✅ Highlights GOAT.
Agreed, this is great. Enough detail to understand what happened and still less than 5 minutes overall. Love it!
That Pogacar liked that Tweet killed me
Yes!
Valverde is saying: "When Lanterne Rouge drops us tomorrow, today's efforts will be the perfect excuse!"
Valverde: "Never forget to show them... your cajones"
Nailed it! Listen to Marie Kondo and always keep your cajones in order, be proud of them!
(cajones=drawers; cojones=balls) :P
@@hptator Hahaha oooof. Muchas gracias from a hopeful American. I'll keep working on it.
Doesn't matter what Valverde said to Kuss.
It just shows the outstanding character of the man to make sure to go and congratulate Kuss.
Have noticed it happening a lot more this year as well.
I just love how Pogačar went from: _Was that the most amazing "maillot-jaune-steal" performance ever?_
To: Is this the most *disgusting* GC dominance we've ever seen deployed by someone who's still a kid?
More like: Pogačar pays Opi Omi lady to take out half the peloton in a back alley deal… then rides away with the tour like an easy Sunday ride.
Valverde said " back in my day we didnt have arrow dynamics"
? he picked Boras every time at Illes/Caisse
Back in Valverde's day they still downturn shifters 🤣
Back in his day they had EPO.
What is this? McLaren auto racing?
Back in his day EPO is still legal!
Valverde said "you stay away from my daugther"
HAHAHAHA +1000
Funny
Valverde: "When 900 years, you reach...climb as well you will not."
Winner!
Valverde to Kuss: "Well done kid. Where can I adopt you?"
Pog decided he only wanted to win by 6 minutes so he could save himself to win the Vuelta too.
Licensing this video to you was the best thing ASO has done in long while.
Movistar and Ineos did exhaust their whole teams for absolutely nothing.
There was some wind up the road! 😁
They dropped G. Martin at least
What else could they do? Pogacar is too strong.
@@trebor8103 They could have done simply nothing and not exhaust their whole team.
@@Mgoblagulkablong it doesn’t matter in the slightest, if they did nothing they’d still get nothing from Pogacar in the coming stages. They want to be a racing team, they raced.
Alejandro to Kuss: "Yeah, I remember when I won my first Tour stage, too, 65 years ago..." 🤟😜
Kuss literally threw shade at this stage, chapeau
lanterne you should have interviewed kuss on the finish line
Valverde: I hope you subscribed to LR before he drops today's highlights
Kuss: You bet mate!
This is actually the best caption.
Valverde is saying: "We will try this again when YOU are 40"
-„Congrats, the last time i won here was 1997“
-„I was born that year“
-„…yeah“
Fistbump
Valverde: "Is LR's house nearby?"
Sepp: "Just go straight down and turn right"
Valverde: "But that's a cliff..."
*fist bumps*
Tadejs tufts reduce air friction whilst allowing airflow, unseen gains
Gotta confuse the general aerodynamics, right babe.
@@FlyAmeliaEarheart whatever it fucking takes, right babe?
Thanks, I really love these recaps!
Another great review, thank you LR! 🙏
Solid commentary. Well done.
Great commentary. Love LR
I don’t like descent finishes prevents some riders from dropping since they don’t go full out
I also think the descent finishes are putting the rider in danger
@@rensjentink5159 how?
Dangerous descending in order to win/not lose time.
@@TomFord17 Well the descent is just before the finish so the riders will tke more risks because it's the last chance of the day to gain time or win the stage
I just feel that can be said for every descent
Just discovered your channel, very impressive, nice work!
Well, if you only have 5 riders left, you gotta think outside the box. TJV did and they crushed it.Got the stage and of all the GC contenders, Vingegaard spent the least time alone. Bravo!
Best Highlights out there.
"You can be my wingman anytime"
Valverde: "Your team's tactics are almost as good as ours. Thanks for helping me drop Quintana."
Vingeaard said in the danish post-race interview, that he would have wanted the race to have been more exhaustive, the GC riders weren't tired enough on beixalis, indicating he would've wanted a lot more help for isolating and wearing down Pogacar! Afaik, JV has cut a deal w Wout and Sepp to get their stagewins/tries, and Vingegaard has been supposed to just 'tag along' the other GC riders. JV has underestimated Vingegaards ability! And, now its too late! He wont be able to gain +5.40 minutes on Pogacar for yellow!
Just my 2 cents! Thanks for the competent and insightful analysis!
Rubish.
If Vingegard wanted more tough ride he should step in front and pull.
Instead he was 99.99% of time hiding behind Pogacar. And when he attacked he abandoned in 100m
Fairytale, Vingegard should attack if he believed that he is capable more.
Nobody block him to attack. He was hiding behind Pog 99.99% time and now after the battle is hero.
Rubish
@@markopodganjek845 posting twice doesn't make it twice as right! FYI, Vingegarrd attacked twice in the final, did you actually see todays stage? And why would he expose himself on the previous mountains? You obviously don't have a clue to how tactics/strategy works! Now, hush! Eat your own rubbish!
@@markopodganjek845 if he did that he'd do nothing but wear himself out and get attacked. Do you even know bike racing tactics?!
Try this out: JV is not sufficiently confident Vingegaard can crack Pogacar, even if WVA and Kuss are directed to do nothing but help him. The stage wins by WVA and Kuss were well-earned and JV decided that was worthwhile.
Valverde: I'm twice your age, you're twice my power
Exactly what I would say to most of these elite riders.
He said "Why didn't you wait for me on the climb? I'm an old man"
"you don't throw your sunnies into the crowd just like that. you give them to LR. those he's wearing on his pod are terrible!"
Valverde says: you probably tienes mas experiencia on that climb.
Saved by the year
Valverde: "Have you finished with my spare sunnies? I'm going to wear them all rest day"
"You rock man, GG!"
Honestly you got me with "the best comment wins absolutely nothing except..." 😅
Valverde: Second time you beat me this year kid, in the Pyrenees again, gj!
Looking forward to the increase in subscribers during TdF '24 ! cheers from Israel
Valverde: Good job my son.
Kuss: Daddy?
Hey L.R., any chance you could do a Giro Rosa recap? Racing's been great and we had a really sweet winner's story in the finale'.
I think he said in a video earlier in the season that he bought the highlights from ASO, but not from the Giro organizers. So pretty sure he can't.
maybe on the podcast
I would love a pod for that race, but there was hardly any footage to recap anyway. Stage 9 was especially bad.
Agreed, there was minimal km's to view. We need some SDs to feed us details from the cars. One step at time in the right direction; 2021 is the first year I've seen any of most women's races.
Val: "Well raced, do yourself a favor and win your World Championship stripes before 38!"
Sepp: "Doi"
V helpful highlights done w care, thank you.
Kuss said he attacked when he did to go solo past his girlfriend and her parents, visiting the tour
Was good to see G Thomas getting his legs back. Maybe Carapaz' secret weapon in the closing days.
It's all over...Pogacar has 5 minutes over the others....he can stop in a stage...have a cup of coffee..get back on his bike and still win this Tour easily since none of the teams are actually even trying to attack him...
Uran, Carapaz and Vingegaard still fighting for the podium
@@RAAZR- for the number 2 spot....yes...they are no threat to Pogacar though...
How not attack Pog?
They attacking him all the time.
It is only missing that put a hand on his shoulder and pull him down.
They tried everything else already
@@markopodganjek845 What they should try is attack all the time and let him do the work all the time...didn't see that so far...
sharks are waiting for a crash which wont happen cus poga is smart and safe
“I bet LRCP discord is going crazy over this”
Pogi playing mind games w/ his tweet about Jonas. He didn't have anyone with him either.
Love the title.
I think Wou van Aert is inspired by his success with winning the polkadot jersey on Pro Cycling Manager.
Thank you for all the great videos!!
I was hoping you would comment more on Ineos' team tactics on this stage.
What did you think of their lead-out and pacing efforts? I was really suprised that once the other teams (especially UAE) had no more domestiques they would take better advantage of their situation. In my understanding they should have kept Carapaz in maybe 2nd or third position with Ineos riders behind that will then willingly lose the wheels so that others have to make the jump and sprint back to the lead-out. I think this tactic is commonly seen in Crits, but I have no recollection of seeing it in tour races. What are you or anyones thoughts on this?
Wout on Wout crime!!! Poels is a LBL winner, but his sprints for KOM points this year are insane
i did not know before a couple days ago that wout poels has such a good sprint
He obviously asked him wether its coming home or its going rome
and apparently it went to rome
I think Quintana did sit up after Port D'Envalira. I assumed he attacked for that one to make sure he had a comfortable cushion so he could collect those €15000 since that's the highest point in the Tour this year.
Hats of to prudhomme. What a parkour design! It’s made for more exciting racing!!
He has done a great job making the non-mountain stages more interesting, but this year, there is at least one down-hill finish too much for my taste.
@@beckobert Yeah, was a bit of sarcasm involved mate. Very poor imo
@@iminc5498 Gotta be honest with you, I didn't catch the sarcasm at all. I guess the exciting beginning of the tour made me ignore all the wasted potential at the more recent stages.
Valverde "Dude, you were flying!"
Vingegaard will crush both Uran & Carapaz on the last ITT, and if he gets help this time around he may even put the leader against the ropes
*_Well Dun- Young Glasshoppa._*
Without Porte and Geoganhart performing , Ineos just can’t do it in the mountains.
INEOS was strong but they lost their number advantages because they fell and Carapaz isn’t strong enough to beat Pogacar and others
@@superdark813 it’s not just numbers, it’s which riders were hurt. 3 old of the four ‘leaders’ they brought to the Tour. Now they have Castro and Kwia trying to perform in terrain that they are not particularly suited to.
@@stephenbarrett8861 yes I agree (that's why I meant : number of leaders with Porte, G, Tao and Carapaz). They could have attack Pogacar with a different rider each time after dylan, kwiato and Castro have dropped his domestiques.
Exactly+ roglic in there aswell and it would be way harder
When it comes down to it, Ineos' domestiques are doing exactly what they need to - isolating Pogacar on the climbs. Maybe Porte or G-Hart could set a higher pace, but at the end of the day, the goal is to isolate Pogacar. They're doing that. But once he's isolated, it's on Carapaz to attack and gap him. Thats the role of the team leader. But Carapaz just doesn't have the legs to come close to doing that.
Even if Ineos has the ultimate mountain train firing on all cylinders, they're never gonna ride Pogacar just off their wheels, which means that while they hammer on the front, Carapaz and Pogacar are getting the same advantage. But when it's time to leave the train and to attack in the last 2km and gap the field, Pogacar is just better than Carapaz, and so he'd drop him and the result would be the same.
“The way you descended, its like you live here or something.” N
Valverde told Kuss that "age does matter in our sport.. congrats, My Son!😄😉
For Vingegaard's sake, I'm glad that TJV got away with stupid tactics, but what the hell? Tade is right to like that tweet. It's like they're going out of their way to not support Jonas.
That headwind really foiled plans for a GC shakeup. Wind that strong is an +80 watt delta at the front versus in the wheels.
Wouldn’t a headwind actually let Ineos use their numbers advantage? All carapaz had to do was gap to the 2 riders Ineos dropped from the breakaway at the top of the second last climb and he would have had a massive advantage.
@@johnm91326 with a headwind like that it’s possible to sit in the wheels and just follow moves. These guys are pretty much within a few percentage points of each other power/weight wise so it makes it difficult overcoming the headwind enough to create and maintain a gap.
@@chrispyy606060606 which is why ineos can’t just set a high pace and hope to drop everyone off their wheels. If Carapaz made it to Castroviejo and Van Baarle with any gap they could have team time trialed down the descent and at least force the other guys to work before the last climb.
Quintana's socks looking awfully high at 3:20 :D
Valverde: You saved your legs perfectly the past three months.
Kuss: USA! USA!
Valverde: Let's fist.
Kuss: USA! USA! USA!
Come on, Americans know more than 3 letters...
Hey there whippersnapper you hit a new ftp on that climb
insta subscribe . the detail here is not found anywhere else. good stuff
Valverde to Kuss: 'Are you proud of yourself that you beat an old man like me?
Valverde to Sepp: Nice job kid!
Prudhomme responsible for some pretty average stages. In a bid to end mountain trains he’s added lots of descents and descent finishes, creates really boring negative racing, and more emphasis on tts as a fesult
Valverde es el puto amo!
Valverde: "Thanks for not letting Quintana win"
Does somebody know what happened to all the old videos? I really loved some of those.
Guillaume's back will have marks from those zippers! Ouch
Where did you grab that photo of Sep kuss? I see it's paulines, but where did you find it?
Valverde actually said, "there was wind in the descend huh"
you watched it live? since said that you reside in andorra atm
These are always insanely good. Shame what happens after the climb tbf.
Ineos haven’t ridden this well imo. Ok so Tao and Porte lost some time early on but they both seem to have taken that as a reason to just lose bags of time on subsequent stages when if they’d stayed closer they could have been put into breaks to force UAE to work
Valverde said something along the line of: "tienes huevos grandes".
Valverde: “Back in my day …”
Wout Van Aert said he wasn't really thinking about the polkadot jersey, rather he was there in the group, he has a good sprint and doesn't waste much energy in those sprints, so why not.
He raced for those points just because, with no specific reason. And it makes sense, since the real points are only present at the Mount Ventoux stage, and the upcoming two mountain finishes.
"you rode your bike faster than me"
Can they give Pogačar the TdF already? And let the others attack between them w/o him closing anything haha
Guillaume Martin: If you don't zip up your jersey before a 20k decent and you weight around 52kg, you kinda deserve to be dropped just for the learning experience...
He shoulda worn a wingsuit instead...
Sauce in the Strava. Haha
Friends don't let friends Strava without Sauce.
What is ineos doing? They drop 2 riders from the breakaway and instead of carapaz trying to bridge across to them they just join the GC group and pace them into a headwind.
If carapaz joined them with any separation at the top of that second last climb who would be left to chase him?
"We are holding try outs for the Trident"
Where real fans come for a recap.
Sepp Kuss proofed me wrong, with todays win (his 2021 season wasn´t the burner up to now)
Valverde: “How do you say…great cajones chico”
why jumbo visma gave vingegaard only 1 rider for today´s stage i mean the rider was not even mountain proof like they can at least let kruijswijk stay in peloton with vingegaard i dont understand it i mean vingegaard is a rider who can easy go for podium, is stage win or mountain jersey rlly that worth to let him down with 1 guy he passed that stage but there could be other szenarios where he needed a kruijswijk in the mountains someone get the exact strategy of that?
Valverde is saying "Come over later for some cargols and escudella, I need to fatten you up a bit"
2:56 Hey that's Southern Ontario Wind EVERY DAY and that's on flats during the summer months that is why riders are always cross chaining here. I actually moved to 1 ring setups on all my bikes so this way you can ride faster in heavy winds with easier Big Big combos. It's all flat here for 500 km so no need for the small rings.
I find ot weird that van Aert did not wait for Vingegaard after van Aert was dropped in the last climb. Sure, he helped him downhill but to no use
I wanted Valverde to win tbh but as an American, I gotta be happy
