"THIS is how to PROTECT a GC Leader"
Chris proceeds to distribute knucklehead-proof vests
🦺👊🦋😜
I want to see special jersey classifications for “Knuckleheads”.
Than it would not be funny.
😂🦋👊
Jonathan Vaughters have a solid lead in the GC of knucklehead in this Giro 🤣 🤣
Hehehe. True that. With only two stages showings and he still has the lead. That’s impressive. 😂👊🦋
Julian definitively watched beyond the coverage 🤣.
He said after the race that he didn't blow up. He knew he couldn't not win that race, so he backed up and saved his legs for others stages.
I started running to be a better boxer and now I'm hooked to everything related to running and cycling. I've never even cared about the tour de France yet I'm watching these kind of channels now.
Garrett works his butt off!
He’s a great domestique
Totally
"Garrett works his butt off!" no wonder, he has a hard time sitting down
@@lowliquidity " He’s a great domestique " = Sepp Kuss
I agree with you, CH, about resting more on a day off. Performance gains can only be realized, with proper rest. 🦋👊
@7:50 This is S-tier arrow work by Garrett. 5 stars.
I agree about Luke… I joined halfway through and didn’t know who he was… but instantly it was clear that he was soooo much better than the other Eurosport presenters (even Kelly!!).
The ole turbo trainer is an amazing recovery and training tool.
Awesome explanation of how these guys worked the wind on the final climb.
First. With all the arrow work, we gotta get you towards 80k - 100k subs! Great Job!
Bam 👊🦋👍
Chris... Excellent as usual. Garrett, you too!
Thanks GoBears 🧸❤️🦋👊
"Jonathan Vaughters, you're still a knucklehead." Lol. That bit on riding on off days is gold. I was always perplexed by people saying you need to go hard for hours on a grand tour rest day.
Some of these knuckleheads don’t want to train hard at home but then want to train hard during a GT. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🦋👊
As a team owner, maybe misinformation is his M.O. ;-)
Lance Armstrong strongly agrees with that statement.
G Thomas is definitely the wily elder statesman of the professional peloton and we’ve seen many instances where he was able to pull himself back into races by intelligently riding within his own limits. Even though I don’t think he’s able to beat any of the top 3 GC riders (Pogacar, Jonas, and Roglic) outright, he is definitely a threat who can take advantage of the right situations. Week 3 is probably where we’ll see some of that G Thomas magic go to work.
Yeh, totally agree with you. As we saw last year, and in the time trial a few days ago, he seems to have problems with time trials against the very best these days, especially when they have uphill kickers at the end which many do these days. It'll be interesting whether he can beat Martinez though so could have a bad day when we get to the bigger mountains in the final week, but he's doing a great job considering this is probably his final season. His only hope of winning though is it Pog either has a really bad day, sickness, or crashes out. It says something when Ineos still have to rely on him for GC. Would love to see him win but just can't see it.
Let’s hope so 👊🦋🤞
@@mattpotter8725I actually think it’s smart for Ineos to use G Thomas here because I’d rather they go all in for Egan Bernal at the Tour. This is his best year since he last won the Tour in 2019 and I’m holding out hope for him to be ready to duke it out with everyone in France.
Of all of these towns, I've only been to Black Mountain, NC. It is a nice place. The exceptionally cute town of Montreat is right next to it, and Asheville is minutes away.
45 minutes is my grand tour day, sadly. Thx for the always enjoyable coverage, Chris!
👊🦋👍
Luke Rowe is a top notch. Hope he has a good retirement
Sounds like he’s got concussion problem to get thru still. He mentioned something about that today to effect of riding is still an issue. 🤔🦋😬🤞
@@ChrisHornerCycling I think he was going to retire next year anyway. Hopefully he can recover and enjoy time with family.
I think Tadej was just saving energy as well. Just needs to stay with Thomas and Martinez. Now some sprinter days before the itt on Saturday.
Maybe some breakaway days again. I wonder now that Kooij and Mayhoffer are gone. Lose a few possible teams on the front to help pull. Good stages coming. 🔥👊🦋🤔
My take on Bahrain is that they were putting pressure on Uiterbroeks for the White jersey. I dont think Tibieri would have closed the gap without that effort? Chris G said Pog told him a lot of riders are putting pressure on him to let the break go which he did today a bit resentfully quote “everybody’s happy for once”. Your coments?
Spot on remarks on JV rest day knuckleheadism. .. even i know that a recovery ride is 45 mins of glass cranking zone 1 spinning.... First 15 mins feel ok, 2nd 15 mins you feel a bit rough, 3rd 15 mins your legs warm through and you feel the benefit, residual toxins being flushed out of tired muscles, less pain 💪
Sometimes I worry about the health of the chesterfield, especially if CH is slamming his knuckles into it day after day 😜
🛋️🦋👊
I think your narrative of Danie is correct. I remember that tour when he key for Egan to win pink. Many would undermine his credentials. Danie may be a tough cookie to break. 2nd and 3rd podium is truly interesting now.
On Watts Occurring podcast, Luke said he's finished as a rider. He was only looking for another year of riding and the concussion has brought that decision forward. Think he'll try to ride a few last races and then that's it.
As for JV, Ineos were out for 2/3 hrs with a climb and two other teams were there on the climb. 🤔 I think if most teams are doing it then he's not quite a Knucklehead 😉
Adam said Pog has cracked before?? Yes, but it took the combined efforts of Roglic, Kuss, WVA and Vingegaard. Anyone would have cracked that day.
I loved how the new on-the-bike dude who started today ends his report with "Back to Commentators."
Daniel OSS 🤔 👍🦋
Always a great recap!!
Thanks, Chris!
Thanks Chris 💜
Great analysis as usual Chris 👏
How long does it take a rider to recover from a grand tour? I know this may change from a sprinter to a true GC rider, but for sake of conversation, say a GC rider. Is it a week of doing nothing? are they fine in 2 days? A month? What does the recovery time look like?
Tadej just got himself back to back rest days, no one else did, but Tadej did.
You can argue Bahrain got on the front to protect Tiberi's GC position
We're not even halfway in this Giro, and Tiberi is already protecting his GC position? That's the tactical mistake of Bahrain.
The best way Tiberi can protect his position in the GC is by staying close to Pogacar, not by helping Pogacar.
I said that in the video. It’s only stage 10 though. How many times are they planning on riding the front to protect 6th on GC if today is only stage ten. 🤷🏼♂️😬🦋👍
@@ChrisHornerCycling In the last kilometres Tiberi was pulling hard at the front of the peloton, and sure he was dropping some riders, but in the end he lost four seconds to Pogacar. So I don't get that either.
@@freekfaro5606 he recovered time from the white jersey Uijtdebroeks, won't matter now cause he just retired from the giro tho
@@ChrisHornerCycling 😂 the whole thing? 😅😂
To the credit of the British commentator, he made the same point Chris makes here about teams protecting their top 10 positions rather than trying to put pressure on Pogacar. As he said, those top 10 grand tour finishes mean money, and the directors can't just focus on winning. But it's a bummer to see everyone racing for 2 through 10 this early. If the race organizers want a better Giro, they should try for a more competitive Giro.
Just too early for this type of racing right. 😬🦋👊
Thanks for all your work, Chris!
👊🦋
Thanks Chris ....Papillon !
Knuckledead-itis
It’s everywhere and spreading. 😜👊🦋🤧😷
Good stuff!
👊🦋
Cheers Chris . I like all the small things that you notice ,and comment on. For example, thetwo Frenchmen droping the Trek rider.
Gotta love the Horner ✌
✌️👊🦋
Pog basically was able to keep his entire team all together for most of the stage, even if it meant climbing the Camposauro at the pace of a gruppetto - led by Molano no less.
You're the Man, Chris!
👊🦋
GREAT job, sirs! Lots of interesting detail with EXPERT analysis~ WELL worth the wait!!!
👊🦋
Thanks Chris thanks Garrett for all your time to work on the show
👊🦋👊
I think today was a day for him to just see what his rivals would do. He said post race that Antonio Tiberi is the only guy with any balls out there. He wanted to what would happen if he held back. I love that he is daring his rivals to make a move. BRING IT!
Yes, it did seem like a challenge.
With him there ready to shut anyone down, he dose neutralise at least the top end of the GC. What’s the point of attacking when you know Pog would bring your rivals back? You can only attack if you know you are far enough that you don’t matter to him. Even those, Pog tends to shut them down.
Going to be fun to see how G, Ben O, and Dani react to Pogi’s big balls comment. 😜🦋😠👊
@@ChrisHornerCycling Bernard Hinualt defended Pog, saying: "He is riding like Merckx and me". I like the gamesmanship that we usually only see in boxing and MMA.
Waiting for your comments impatiently every morning. Thanks Chris. 👍👍♥️♥️. Have a great day. 😍😍
Thanks for waking up with Garrett and I. 👊🦋🌅
Hello Chris, today Itt US National Championship. Mc nulty can win, for you ? In Charleston. Winner will go to Olympic Games for United States
BV got on the front to put time in for the white jersey- they got 9 seconds. Good for them. The next ITT will get them over 1.5 mins. Then Tiberi might have a chance to get 3rd or 4th by the end of the race.
No one knows Tiberi’s abilities yet at a GT rider really because his best is a 18th at the Vuelta last year. This is stage 10 and he blew up also today and lost time in the finish. Cian dropped at 600 and Tiberi at 100 that’s pretty close to equal. I don’t believe BV started riding to drop Cian. They started riding to protect 6th spot on GC which means it’s going to a really long Giro if BV plan to ride every stage to protect 6th. Or maybe 5th if they do happen to drop Cian. Because no one is betting their house that he’s better then 5th right now with Pog, Dani,G, and Ben O in front him. 🤔🦋🎰👊
I thought it was Bahrain vs Visma for the white jersey what we were seeing
Great analysis as usual, but did I mishear you at the end there? Did you say it's the last week? Had to go and check I'd not missed a week, and it's still the 2nd week, that's how much I trust you Chris!!! 🦋🦋🦋
Hehehe. Thanks for having faith in me. The last week that Pog has to be 100% ready for. 😂👊🦋🔥
Chris the professor horner
👊😜
👊🦋
@Chris, when the French pair attacked Bagioli from behind, Sean Kelly commented that this was not the way these things are done (he said they should have tried losing him by doing tempo up at front). Does their move indeed break any of the unwritten cycling rules?
On this Years easy Giro Cima Coppi
Now went out the Window 😢!
50% nearly done illness an exhaustion
Starting to do their job.
Visma down to 4 riders. White Jersey
Out its a Big shame! Visma lucky
If anyone from their team finsh.
What a diffence to last year.
Vere nice win for Ag2r👍
UAE tactic works, Neither Bahrain or
Ineos dare to attack Tadej Podacar.
Really think Butterfly Effect should
Be renewed to the Horner Chesterfield
Effect😜🔝❤️
Tadej said he would ride defensively. Translation: Other riders have my permission to win stages. Great rides from Tratnik and
Valentin PP
Howdy Chris 😂
Yo 👊🤷🏼♂️😜
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
As for Pogacar; - Tratnik mentioned in a post-race interview that he and Tadej had talked before the start, about how they both where a bit sick. If that was in all seriousness or not I do not know, but if true maybe that would have an effect on Tadej´s performance?
Merci pour mes garçons 😍
I just learned that even on rest days you can have to deal with knucleheads team mates...Life is not that easy !
Pretty much the whole flats 2 riders off the front for 60k and every team launching attacks to get in a break , proceeding to be brought back . Exciting watch
😊
3ATGL on top for stage 10. 👊🦋🏆🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I think I remember Lance saying on his podcast that he always liked to go hard with his team on rest days. Maybe he didn't put much load on his body in the first half of the TdF?
Hey Chris. Sitting on my chesterfield I’ve been rooting for Cian Uijtdebroeks (White Jersey)and Visma/Lease A Bike. Visma lost another rider today and Tratnik, of course, going for the stage win. So, I thought Bahrain Victorious, saw a chance to support Tiberi for the White Jersey. So, that’s why Bahrain took the pace. Closed 9 seconds on Cian. What do you think?
If they pulled just the climb maybe. But I think it began with Bardet and the other threats up in the breakaway first. But I could be wrong about that. But if they did attack just to drop Cian only, I would say they are even a bigger knucklehead head because G, Dani, Ben O’, and Pogi naturally will be be trying to do that in the last week for anyways, so Tiberi and his DS’s are still a knucklehead. 🤔😂🦋👊
I guess there's a big 🤢🤮 going around. Some of those guys are actually dropping out. I watched an interview yesterday that said Tadej is a little under the weather. Im 🙏🏼 doesn't get worse I'd hate to see him haveta walk away. 👍🏻🇸🇮🙏🏼
I asked on another video, where he failed dismally in the break, and then here the other (?) Paret-Peintre goes but at least he won the stage this time.
BUT: what's the point of winning a stage of a GT if you're not helping your 4th place on GC rider (O'Connor) win / podium GC?
Is he just trying to get a better contract next year? I wouldn't be hiring him as a team player based on current actions.
I think this break away riding is a knuckle headed move.
Who was your best domestique and why
I would need to think on that one longer. And get back to you on it. Cause I did Jen’s on my team for a few years and it would be disrespectful to not mention Grégory Rasta man, Markel, Bushe, sayers, Jani, Popo, even Gordo could switch hit when he wasn’t sprinting. I had some great ones. 🤔🦋🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔👊
@@ChrisHornerCyclingThat would make a great story time in the off season!
Think there was a mountain stage on a tour, where they did a feature of the riders doing 2.5hours on the rest day. 2.5 hours as half that time would be going downhill probably. Vaughters quoting that probably
Chris, I caught the Giro on Max. Some of the commentators gave opinions that were appallingly facil and shallow. I have gotten used to the quality of your insightful, in-depth opinions. The contrast was jarring.
Knucklehead count: 9
Hehehe. I got 7 riders on Bora today but you/someone might could take out their sprinter but I will leave him there guilty by association. At least one DS if not both of them. And then throw in Vaughters anytime just for fun. I said G was a top rider but his tactics 🤔😬, ok I said he’s knucklehead. I may have said Adam or it was taken that way, but I certainly said Rob was. So that’s 12 there abouts. 😂🦋👊👊
5% is not steep?? Speak for yourself 😂
And only 18k long. 😂🦋👊
pro cyclist forgot us regular people don't have legs like them 😂😂😂
Steep starts at 10% 🎉
@@iacobogallus2110congratulations… when you get heavier (fat) it is a killer (10% plus)
@@iacobogallus2110 6 to 7% is enough to raise my heart rate and break a sweat. ;-)

❤️🦋👊❤️
45 mins is my big day...
A pity Alaf is injured but against VPP and Bardet, he stood no chance anyway...
Tibieri is chasing white and virtually has it if you consider the time he will gain on the Belgian rider in the flat TT.
I think he was defending against Zana rather than trying to move up GC.
Tps interview gave kudos to tiberi for tiberis attacks when others could not or would not do so. The point: maybe tiberis attacks caused move into fourth position by tp. But who really knows until next flat tt?
I saw Pogi’s interview. Big balls. That might ruffle some feathers out there. 😜🦋👊🪶🪽
Yes, his statement was provocative .
Party Pants!
🎉🥳🎈👊🦋😂
GC leader?? Last time I checked Ineos are almost 3 minutes behind the GC leader...
What happened to alaphilip?
I will have to have Garrett look and see if he can find anything on it. The guy can not catch a break though. 🤷🏼♂️🦋🥲
In his after race comments in French, he didn't give an answer... It was as if he gave up. He never said he was was sick. Just left everyone guessing...
"Wet"?? Chris, wasn't it simply recently resurfaced tarmac where you made this comment? I'm skeptical that pavement gets "wet" in a perfectly straight line like that.
Chris! How thin is Valentin Pientre? He looked like a holocaust survivor, it’s almost grotesque. What’s going on?
A little spicy on JV, that's hilarious 😂😂You guys were never teammates of Lance at the same time 🤙🤫
Nope. We were never teammates. I don’t even think we over lapped on the national team together. 🤔🦋👍
🥵🌶️
😂🦋👊
Devil's advocate for Bahrain. They were also riding for the white jersey. Uijtdebroeks was isolated with Tratnik up the road so maybe they thought they could put him under pressure while also protecting their GC spot?
I wish a journalist asks Julian Alaphilippe if he watch Chris Horner's analysis on how not to be a knucklehead! Bummed Romain Bardet didn't get the win today! He looks like he is starting to feel better after projectile vomiting during Stage 1.
I would love to get to ask some questions to the riders. And especially the DS’ 😜🦋👊👊
knucklehedonism
Rocking its best out there today. Then throw in some Vaughters left overs and a 20min video is a piece of cake 🎂 😂🦋👊
I have to finally disagree with you Chris, a team with maximum top 5 ambitions with some hope and prayer shouldn’t care at this point about “putting pressure” on the leader team which as well might be riding on a different dimension when it comes to GC and let SEVERAL rider pass you on GC for the sake of putting pressure on the leader team even though you are realistically not even competing with that leader team anymore
🦋🦋
How skinny is too skinny? VPP pushing it right to the limit. That can't be sustainable (or healthy)
About 5'10 114 lbs. The guy is a stick :) But I'm not sure his fat is much lower than other climbers. He's naturally very thin to start with..
Is nonsense comenting after long race, group od favourites, when is part of 800m to go and its all together. Attacking each other 500m to finish make no sense, for max 1-3sec gain
Johnathan Vaughters is a JOKE....didn't like him when I raced against him and don't like him now....They should put you back on the Tour de France team and get rid of the ass kissers they have now....I can't even watch them anymore it's like a circus!
The UAE team has been exposed. They entered a weak team for the Giro. Tadej is doing things on his own with a subpar team.
knucklehead tablets day of the french paret peinte familly did the show bravo valentin , and decathlon top team . julian wasn t there !!!!!!! don t forget pozzo !older than thomas ! an italian wining the giro??? and bardet best day won 7 places in gc ,just want to win stages ! sure ! .poggy will loose the pinky. njoylife
