Pogacar did that to himself when he almost came to a stop, rather than go early. He slowed down so much that he didn’t have the momentum to keep the other two riders behind him in the final sprint. What an incredible finish!
Yeah, Pogacar was fading and they passed him. He wasn't catching Van der Poel in any case.
@@dryter Yep. Pog was riding for 2nd at best as soon as he didn't drop MDP on the Paterberg. There was no way he could take the sprint from MVDP, even if Mathieu had led out the sprint from the front. Remember 2 years ago that a fit WVA couldn't come around MVDP when Mathieu led out from the front.
The best Pog could have done is attack with 1k to go and hope to get a gap and TT it home. He would have still likely ended up second, but at least he would have had a podium.
@David Thomas
A very exciting race, the best for me this year, Pogacar should be at the podium, second o third place, that's my opinion, he always work very hard
After he failed to shake him off on the paterberg, Pog was only ever going to be 2nd to MVDP... should have gone for it and at least been 2nd
He caused every major selection on climbs himself. If he develops a team that can get guys in moves so he can just really conserve energy he obviously goes on these cobbled climbs at quite a pace led out last several. Had vdp in gutter on patterberg he got out and on wheel with guts sprinted with strength overhead view he was losing it 1v1 regardless to mvdp giving up first wheel was tough call but he can't lead mvdp out in sprint damned either way but strongest two should have been on top two steps mvdp followed on all the final climbs as tadej caused selections got gap ,they seem friendly, but from first wheel vdp will regret not just beating pogacar straight up as pogacar raced him on climbs. Tadej has only himself to blame but he was so locked in on racing vdp to line don't think he expected vdp allowing him to get boxed. He said after race " he was the strongest, maybe he needs to sprint more in these races" long season probably poor choice considering how close they seemed at tour. If he's going for green doesn't need to burn bridge with pogacar. Might gladly see that go to someone else as of today I'm sure. Maybe set pace Wout can climb and not Mathieu. Got chopped a bit too not relegation worthy but not what he deserved again he's as much but you saw how he led out Lombardia being better sprinter think he expected same. Just not 4th
I wish I had as much confidence in my life, as MVDP has in his sprint!
Pogacar didn't respect MvdP and paid for it. You can't leave him a 5m gap in the last KM he will take everything you have and finish with a few bikelengths ahead of you.
@@StopTheRot too scared? probably too tired. He put in inhuman effort on the climbs, he didnt have much left.
@darshan Rajgopal , you can, it's all in your head
@@StopTheRot on the contrary he played to win and took the gamble that vdp would sprint earlier and the others wouldn't come back. Sometimes playing to win is too risky and it showed today, he will learn though.
It's awesome to see TP do these types of races and not just be a grand tour specialist like so many of the past few decades.
I was just thinking this. Its a long time since we saw a TdF winner attack the monuments like this. Fantastic to see.
Didn't Roglic won Liege Bastogne Liege? 🤣
@@ivanboyes9773 he did but he didn't win the tour. You make a fair point though.
@@dunphyc3 he has won Vuelta 3 times?
@@ivanboyes9773 but not the TDF which is the main grand tour of the big three.
MvdP had the hubris to put power data and heart rate on Strava, again. Hanging on to Pogacar by a knife's edge up Paterberg (650 Watts for a minute, maxed out heart rate at 187bpm), he hit 1400 Watts for three seconds and held more than 1000 Watts for another seven seconds in the sprint to leave everybody in the dust. Beast mode!
A shame Wout had to withdraw, but MVDP rode one hell of a race, digging in to stay with Pogacar on that final climb, and then leading out the sprint for the win. And if Pogacar is upset with anyone, it should be himself, for letting himself get boxed in at the end.
I think he is after a few quite moments.
Exactly.
Exactly it was pogacar who boxed himself in the middle of both. He must have took to the left instead of keeping in MVDP's wheel
Pogacar said it in an interview after the race. .. that he was only blaming himself and that he was disappointed
Climate Justice Now finishes 5th, hell of a ride by him 🔥
Hopefully he won a few punches to his groin for his efforts.
😆
That’s some funny shit dude!!!
And to think he did the whole thing by foot.. Incredible!
😂😂👍
I have great respect for Pogacar. He's redefining reality: combining the tour with the classics is a great win for cycling.
until he gets popped for doping that is
MVDP made a brilliant move there tangling up the sprint with the pursuers. Wow!
Pogacar had no chance at the end, MVDP was too strong in the sprint. Pogacar would likely never have come around him, even without the other two riders. Brilliant race.
Agreed. You can see Pogacar lose his wheel with MVPD creating a gap that gets filled by the other two. Pogacar has no one to blame but himself.
Not true…pogacar try hard but he get block…almost crashed…I’m mvp fans
@@davieyong312 nope
@counselthyself Attack after the last climb? thats not how cycling works. with these on a flat run in. You cant attack. Well you can. but it wont work. since theres no surprise. And the other can just follow and has the benefit of the draft. if its just 2, you cant really attack unless theres a climb.
The way Pogacar did it, letting the speed drop, was a massive mistake. On acceleration you don't beat MVdP, on a long sprint it would have been possible but you need the legs for that! Happy to see Pog is still human after all.
I hope mvp and pogacar (and wva) ride more like this: they are the best, attack in other racers at 25k to go, cooperate to 1k mark, then each to his own.
Mvp and pogacar splendid today
Well Pog and mvdp always ride like this
Its brilliant to watch but realistically Pog has to drop MvP before the last couple of kms. He just doesn't have the power to match him in a straight shoot out.
@@StopTheRot not always, not enough
Best stay together, then one of best win.
Best sd not allow second tier rider to win. Keep spoils to yourselves
They usually attack way earlier
@@noobmaster2550 correct you are
One of the best race I've seen in my life!
MvdP is a beast. How he has recovered from injury is insane.
pidgeon pie
@ mmm ;)
Two Dutchmen on the podium...what a great day for Dutch cycling.
MVDP pulling his bike up that hill with 13k to go was amazing. Great fun to watch.
Pogacar always races to win and doesn’t play it safe. Love the mentality! Over time it pays but sometimes it doesn’t. That’s the risk he takes and that is a sign of greatness. He also has a surprisingly strong sprint for a climber.
And if he done the tactics with 500 meters instead of 1km to go I think he would have had a chance.
He did played it save. Thats the point why he lost. If he raced to win he would not wait but had attacked MvdP at the end.
No, way off the mark. It's a sign that Pogar is entitled ie why he refused to take a turn pulling. He always acts like a little brat child when things don't go his way.
@@CowneloAlvaroid That’s open to interpretation. Pogacar made the decisive move and pulled MVDP to the finish and put him “on the limit” as MVDP admitted in post-race interview. MVDP had nothing but respect for Pogacar as do I. Tough racer who, like most in the pro peloton, would be playing a weak hand in a two-up sprint with MVDP. He took that risk with overtaking duo and was flanked and blocked. That’s racing and it was exciting to watch.
@counselthyself The guy who took the biggest risk in my view was MVDP. Letting the other two catch, calling Pogacar’s bluff and trusting he could hold off the closers. Super exciting.
Very important lesson for pogacar
Guys let’s not give Pog too much grief. Think of it, how many grand tour contestants do we see battling it out in classics like this? The kid loves cycling as much as we all do, and is not afraid of stretching the envelope and going all out whenever he can - that alone is commendable. A lotta lessons to be learned here, I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him in races like Flanders.
Great win by MVDP, was at the Oude Kwaremont too, shouting him good luck 😁 Great atmosfere, great winner. Love from BE 🇧🇪
Tadej Pogcâr learned something today. If I was him I wouldn't have waited and just went for it. because maybe Mathieu didn't have the legs for it. He could have still had a podium finish.
Absolutely spot on, VDP was winning sprint regardless this wasn't colbrelli or even asgreen size power wise, when you have built the lead on the climbs attrition was his only shot he needed to keep pace up even last 10 k's were too slow I thought nevermind last k for tadej and take first wheel hed been there for 50 k. I honestly think MVDP just getting back on Patterberg was the race with that 10 k's left he is so much bigger and stronger Tadej should have gone from longer range and hoped he cramped basically exactly what asgreen did VDP had to follow on all the final climbs he had to just push on and trust his condition not a drag race. Thought It was shame VDP left it that late wasn't necessary he got there on tadejs wheel on climbs clearly gapped him from overhead shot in sprint they should be steps 1-2 on podium. Lesson learned for tadej maybe bridge burned for mvdp never seen Tadej angry they have always seemed friendly admirable at races of each other. Might be different this year at tour no hugfest:) Think we all learned tadej can win all monuments even if he never wins another. Hes gone win, win, 5th, 4th from last year to this roubaix he excels at races with extra 100k
He even gave MvdP 5m gap in the last KM. You don't do that if you want to win. Mathieu is a cyclocrosser. All those races start with a 300m sprint out of the pack. This is what he does best at the long distances. Your only chance is to use him as a leadout and pray you have the legs to come around.
@counselthyself Well, at least Pogi would have got second that way!
@counselthyself I don't think he had legs I just think he wanted a 1v1 sprint and inside last kilometer (which is why he was upset vdp saw what was coming) his instinct to look for win and weakness when there was none ....cost him podium. I think if he kept pace on after patterberg even solo effort from 2k what's worst cooperation stops ...happened anyway and he gets on podium in honest sprint of that group of 4 comes together anyway I think so just stuffed it not accepting he couldn't win after racing so well that has to suck it's Flanders and even MVDP said tadej was strongest on the day. Lots of things have gone his way im sure his day will come he looks amazing in every race with extra 100k/monument was smoothest on cobbles who thought that would be case? Always climbs great but body moved less than MVDP on pave. His team will get better trentin was solid but he needs team in moves allowing him to conserve energy.
@@manydman yeah he knew he wasn;t winning sprint unless MVDP cramped with way run in went over head of sprint confirmed that, but to let him get boxed in and even chopped a bit after leading out last 5 climbs with him right in the wheel never complaining or backing off I think MVDP will eventually realize makes sense to have other strongest rider in race on podium next to him. Tadej has himself to blame and won't make same mistake again but im sure was expecting something similar to what he did in lombardia except MVDP to lead out being bigger stronger finisher like he was in Italy. Last 4 monuments in succession for the kid win, win, 5thMSR, 4th today so pretty solid:) always better to have allies than enemies on the road. Especially ones with really good legs. They were all hugs and fist bumps at last years tour. Never seen tadej mad ever after a race and he has lost gold medals, plenty of monuments and sprints already even basque country mugging. Crazy race. See if it causes riff for tour.
MDVP gapped Pogecar off his wheel immediately in that sprint. I don’t think Pogecar had a chance even if he did not get boxed in.
I'm surprised there weren't more comments about that gap. It said everything that needed to be said. Good point
Super happy for MVDP! He remained calm and always aware in the last 20 k’s.
Watching TP attack over and over again feels like watching races from the mid-90’s, where riders didn’t tire and Phil Ligget would expound on their strength and courage
This is actually very typical for RVV, just watch the last two decades, or even just MVDP
Yep juiced
In this case the commentators kept stating how he always looks fresh, like out on sunday group ride. Just once I want somebody to state the obvious "he shows no effect from 250k, he seems to never tire" . Hell, he does a triple cartwheel into a backflip onto the topstep of the podium and GCN, Cyclingdane, LR or anyone else even snicker. You are 100% correct.
@@isitrachelorj3953 it's sad that this is the only way you can think
@@JonathanvG-wj1ro no, it’s sad that the sport has been so tainted by drugs it leads us to think this way!
Thank you so much for your video effort, awesome.
GREAT COMMENTARY. Love it
Pog on another level. TDF gonna be a snoozefest for the foreseeable future
Tdf has always been a snoozefest until the 3rd week for 1 or 2 kilometers.
He could crash or have a mechanical. You never know
Don’t discount Primož just yet. Pogs may be better but TJV is much much stronger than UAE and that makes a huge difference during a GT.
didn't age well!
MVDP is back!!!
thanks for no spoilers!
M.V.Poel again 😇 the Flying dutch! Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴
Tactical error by TP - as experienced as he his there is always something to learn.
Tactical masterclass from MVDP at the final sprint! Waiting long enough so that the others can box in Pogacar. Brilliantly delivered!
Sorry man! But frankly, who reads the comments first?
On mobile it came up even though I hadn't opened the comments. Not your fault - took my frustration at CZcams showing me comments before I've watched the video out on you! That's my fault. Stupid comment. Have a nice day
I was watching the race on TV, what a great adventure riding out there, suuuuper awesome fans, big loving hug all cycling lovers, big loving hug Flanders people as well, what a great time guys 🙋🙋🙋🙋💐💐💐🚴🚴🚴🚴😍😍😍🍀🍀🍀🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴👍👍👍👍🚴🚴🚴🚴💯💯💯🚴🚴🚴🚴👏👏👏👏👏🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴👏👏👏🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴👍👍👍👍🚴🚴🚴🚴✌️✌️✌️✌️🚴🚴🚴🚴👌👌👌✌️✌️✌️🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴
What a glorious era
MVDP finish unbelievable. That timing and snap was brilliant.
Taday had his chance as well if he wanted, they were well out in front.
Pogi made a mistake playing MVDP's game.
Pogacar was magnificent but MVDP was stronger in the sprint, as he should be. Pogacar knew that his best chance of winning was to drop MVDP on Qude Kwaremot or Paterberg. And he wasn't far from succeding. The way Pogacar rode over the cobbles, wow! He is the first person in a long while I actually think can win all five monuments.
I only think Milan San Remo will be too difficult for him. My bet is on MVP :)
Obviously not ‘in a long while’. I mean, Gilbert has won 4 of the 5 and never managed to win MSR, even though that was arguably the one that suited him best
@@jordyv5421 Don't think he has the bottle for the decent - not many do...
Pogacar winning Roubaix? I doubt it
@@jordyv5421 and 1year later you were absolutely right with you MSR guess haha
Truly MVDP is such a great cyclist. I really wanna be like him.
Well, let him first win a grand tour.
@@mulondokalemera7531 he'll surely win one day my Frnd
YES!!!!! MVP!!!!!
A tirato sempre Pogachar e ha vinto Vanderpol.....questo è il ciclismo.......fantastic
That was a great sprint by MVDP!
No
@@stefankucera3615 Yes.
@@stefankucera3615 he rode 270km faster than a hundred professional cyclists and beat out a tour de France winner and you dare criticize this man's sprint
a TdF winner could win Ronde! Hard to believe. A true champion, Pogacar!
Loved seeing Pog get his ass handed to him.
MVDP no glove look is so cool
Pog has no one to blame but himself for that dumb, junior mistake. To allow the chasers to catch you and beat you to the line because you're too stubborn to take a turn at the front is just a stupid mistake. But given how MVDP accelerated from essentially a standstill to catch up to the speed of the chasers and still beat them shows that Pog would have not stood a chance regardless of his mistake. Well done MVDP.
You have to be prepared to loose to win. Mwdp is the fastest sprinter so pog had to leave it up to him to go.
@@ryanallen6443 no question, but to throw away a guaranteed second place because he wanted to play a stupid game of cat and mouse is just dumb and lack of experience.
MVDP is a beast. But I don't see anyone beating Tadej at TdF...he's remarkable.
Pogacar showed why he is the best again; came in this race and made the so called clasic specialists look like a bunch of amateurs only Mvdp had the strength to stay with him and barelly; when Pog atacked it was mayhem
This voice tone is so calm, we need some excitement
so true, specially on one of the greatest races!!! this guy should be commentating golf
That was a clever sprint he went full gas for a split second and stopped and then restarted and freaking powerful. Well done MVDP!
the other point no one seems to be mentioning is the chasers NEVER GAVE UP. I got lambasted on another channel for criticizing a recent second place finisher for giving up in the sprint... but my point is NEVER QUIT!!!
MVDP has another 3 Tour of Flanders victories left in him, minimum. The Lion of Flanders.
First time to see Pogacar make such a big mistake. Am sure there will be lots of tough talks in his camp this week about strategy, support etc. No doubt he was the rider of the day in every move except the one that mattered most. I personally don't think he could beat MVP in a 2-up sprint, but to end up 4th is just crazy. Might as well have pulled up and chatted to the fans at that point! Guaranteed he will go on to crush the TdF now.
Scary isn't it
Love Tadej but he was beat anyway. I don't think he was complaining because he lost.....only that he was squeezed out & couldn't give his all to the end. Great to see him go for the monuments when TdF winners usually don't go for them so much. Van der Poel is a beast & will be a big threat this season I think. Great season ahead.
What a great finale! MVDP certainly earned that win!
MvdP the champ!!
Courage to be there,,,
MVDP = beast when it comes to sprinting! Go boy!!
Pogacar definitely got cut off, and I think it was intentional. Was it illegal? Nope. Turns out the move was smart. Pogacar lost it letting those trailing two back in the race before that, though. They got in his way. MVDP played it well indeed. Great race!
Once in a while, you find yourself at the start of an incredible bike season.
Unreal from VDP.
🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮 🇸🇮🇸🇮 Tadej Pogačar slept on point and stayed in the wave of 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 Mathieu van der Poel waiting for opponents to approach SERIOUS mistake.
He should have accelerated at the moment Mathieu van der Poel was stalling, even though he lost and he only got in 4th place, he didn't even go to the podium, the lesson will remain in his head.
You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask of that old Lone Ranger and you don't go in front of MVDP with 2 km to go. I know it doesn't rhyme, but is true. He had no chance and what good is a second place for a TDF winner?
I wanted Victor Campenaerts to win, but I figured MVDP would win this one, even if WVA was there. Pogacar is no less a racer, but, as he is right now, Pogacar is not getting away from MVDP in a race like this and he lacks MVDP's sprint. Go MVDP!
This guy should be a golf commentator
I've never ever seen a rider, since Merckx, as strong as Pogacar, and he's only 23. Incredible.
Incredible doped*
cry more
@@philipb.1950 As all are my friend.......the dope today was to mild....he need something overwhelmengly astonish and vigorous as his compatriots Pog & Rog...the rumors I've heard is that they have a secret formula, undetectable for good....made in secret laboratories in Chernobyl so... radioactive dope but radioactivity isolated OMG😱😱😱😱
I never seen a rider like MVDP
Either Pog or MVDP would have been a worthy winner and the other second but a tactical mistake cost Pogacar dearly. In his post race interview MVDP showed sheer class when asked about what happened by saying that in his opinion Pog did the most work in the race and did not deserve 4th but Pog was clearly unused to the very rapidly changing dynamics of a bunch sprint.
Pogacar just learnt a valuable lesson about sprinting and positioning.
Finally, someone to break Pogacar's reign really hard to see someone who dominates all races it makes it boring in all sorts. Hopefully, we have good rivalry here MVDP vs TP couldn't wait for TDF this year🙂
Bad comparison TP is a proven 2 times Tdf champ, MVDP is more like one day stage and classics winner. There're stronger guys who can compete against TP in Grand tours than Mvdp does.
This Pogacar guy is pretty good at the classics he should join the Tour De France or something
He just won two
The strongest man won. As soon as Picard couldn't break MVDP on the Padeberg, he was going for second at best. He was never going to outsprint the Dutchman. He then tried to be too clever, and the chasers deservedly passed him. The classics in Belgium are full of tough and aggressive riders, and you don't have 20km climbs to shake them off.
Exactly, you're not going to get the deference you get whilst wearing yellow in the TdF.
Today certainly won the man in condition of the moment in the group, but I don't think he would have won that easy if the belgian idol Van Aert hadn't stopped him from COVID19.
Van Der Poel was very clever, playing with a pinch of mischief because he knew he was the fastest even against Pogacar: he waited for Van Baarle and Modouas to come from behind, keeping them behind until the finish line, but for a moment at 200 final meters I thought that Van der Poel applied the theory of: "today I don't win but neither do you!"
It was fascinating to watch Tadej gamble away the podium because he was apparently convinced he could win the race. People used to criticize Mathieu because his tactics weren't always great and he relied too much on his talent/strength. I think Tadej should end up with the same criticism today. He couldn't just outmuscle Mathieu here. Fascinating finale!
MVDP really dig deep there to stay with Pogacar during the last climb. I believed the race was won there...and I think WVA is the only person who can rival MVDP during those final meters...really a shame to withdraw but still one heck of a race! a win for every cycling fans
Finally someone beat Pogacar
Someone pay that dude some money!
Q: what's harder- racing on cobblestones in Belgium, or potholes in the USA?
wait, you mean gravel?
Well, legend has it that there are still cyclists in potholes waiting to be rescued.
Haha, the only time when potholes get fixed in Belgium is when there's a cycling even taking place.
This is not even a joke btw.
As I said: Ronde van Vlaanderen the best race in the world. 🇧🇪
F Belgium.
At 3:50 , That's me!
Pogacar either was tired, was in the wrong gear or simply does not have a sprint like the other three guys in the sprint. EIther way he still has the best overall physiology to win the TDF....
He can win it next time
What makes you say that?
MVP is a once in a generation rider
Maybe Pogacar learned something on Sunday: 2nd or 3rd place are always better than 4th. Should've pulled at the end.
Deserved for VDP, he led from the front and didn't wait for Pogacar to come round him. It looks like Pogacar misjudged how fast the other guys were coming up to them, compared to VDP who could look back and see *everyone*. Pog, learn from this and do better next time! The Ronde will be yours if you keep doing everything right :)
Pogacar should have gone for a long sprint. Like Asgreen the year before.
Not playing it tactical with MVdP. He's too explosive.
It was ok, till the two from behind came back..maybe pogacar has the better sprint after so many km..but he lost so much speed and momentum when he was boxed. Van der poel sprint was ok but nothing special. He was clear
@@stefankucera3615 In een reguliere sprint had Pogacar ook verloren van Mathieu van der Poel, alleen slechte verliezers willen dit niet waar hebben.
MVP who's the daddy!!!!
Looking at the finale again it looks like Pogacar did not look back once! No wonder he was swamped....
Pogcar's timing and positioning in the final stretch were off. He was unlucky to put himself in a position where the other two riders blocking his path and could not keep up with the MTB, Cyclocross heavyweight MVDP. Van der Poel's timing was perfect. He waited for the other two to be in the mix and started the sprint. Could have been a beautiful finish for both(TP vs MVDP) protagonists.
Today TD learned the hard way
Who's TD?
@@anplyablboy2766 TP...😂 Sorry
Total badassery cyclist!
The entitlement Pog diplays is EPIC UNTO ITSELF! CONGRATS TO MVP
Looks like Pogacar needs someone to explain the difference between deviating from your line and being boxed in. He was boxed.
MVDP 50000 IQ
asgreen chain felt off, so sad
Don't think WVA being in the lineup would have made a difference , MVDP was a worthy winner
Nice race , but the best of the rest was not there 😞
One man.......................haha.
Like the Spanish people said "Qué etapón"= big race, sorry my virtual boyfriend is stick, 😭😭😭 W.V.A. he will be back stronger again, congrats to M.V.D.P. well deserved
Thanks a lot GNC👏👏👏👏
👀 you later 👋 👋
of the five riders that got away mvp did most of the work.tp led up the cobbles but did a lot of draughting on the flat.tg and mvp would've left van aert on the cobbles if he'd turned up.
If you didn't want to take your turn at pulls, you deserve to finish 4th or farther back.
Leclerc vs Verstappen vibes
Pogacar should have rode that one out on his terms than playing games with a more explosive rider in Matthieu.
Lack of experience. It maybe experience he never gets.
Pogacar got too greedy by refusing to take a turn and paid the price.
On the run-in it was 1 against 1 so Pog had a 50% chance of winning, but letting the other two riders catch up reduced his winning odds to 1 against 3, or only 25%.
Bad call and it'll haunt him for the rest of his life..:)
Pogakar es humano viene corriendo barias carreras y le pasa factura
