Taco getting 4th place from the early break, super strong!
Taco is a Legend
😲The Visma was extra Jumbo today…unreal!
Yep, unreal is the word.
Jumbo getting that special stuff 🧐 the miracle juice
Jumbo visma winning everywhere. Jonas killing it as well.
Jumbo visma really seems like a close knit team at this point!
Shoutout to whoever puts the liquid bass on these highlights
And Jonas Vingegaard has just taken O Gran Camino 🙂
Honestly, I would like to hear from the not-so-super-domestiques/new-to-this-brutal-kind-of-racing how they did. Anyone who finishes this king of races deserves a medal. From BE, loving each of these incredible racers!
Really impressive by JV, not just today but the past couple of days. Love to see a doc on their training and nutrition regime.
They’ve definitely got a doc on their team
@@Matayac Juicing doc
Jumbo looks to be invincible in opening classics
Fantastiesj Benoot :D
Thanks for that !
what a win. i thought Tiesj was spent and should have attacked earlier, in order to set it up for Van Hooydonck (who just looked awesome in that final 5k). kept urging him to counter attack whenever Mohoric closed to gap to Nathan but, that super sly move up the right. PERFECT! What a win. What a weekend!
Yeah, NVH was the strongest of the five, but Tiesj time his attack perfectly.
@@markdwelchforcongress4456 absolutely. just perfection
Nice to see Benoot win one, only the 4th victory of his pro career.
Thanks 🙏🏾
Suuuuper big loving hug awesome riders, cycling is the most exciting adventure of life guys, never stop believe in
Glad to see you back in the comments for another season, Melania! Always enthusiastic!
The back-and-yellow winning machine is now in motion. They look invicible.
everything, everywhere, all at once should be the new motto of TJV classics and GT squads lol
TJV is like Roy Kent !!
Fantasthijs Benoot... Well done :D
Another incredible performance from what used to be Rabobank. The nutrition must be top class at the Jumbo hotels 😉
They must be on that Alberto Contador’s meat program 😂
The best is almost seeing how happy Nathan van Hooydonck is that his teammate took it
Wout had much better legs than at Het Omloop ( het Nieuwsblad). I was not worried about his super speed at sprinting ,but I could not imagine him following Mathieu in a 1 kilometer accélération. I feel better now Laporte is in shape too.this is a magnificent team tjey have. But Mathieu will be the man to beat .
jumping up to reinforce the break. clever

There was a question during the show about KBKs donkey. According to Harry Pearsons “The Beast….. “a fine tour of Flemish cycling it originated with a story of farmers bringing their crops to market early in the morning with donkey pulled carts. City dwellers called them “asses from Kurne” the derogatory has softened with time. Now Kurne embraces it
Jumbo, no 1 classics team so far. Looking good for them.
Best bikes too. Though I've been told it's the man not the machine
TJV with the best doping programme right now, respect! Wonder if the other teams can catch up without getting caught.
Get me some of those ketones!!!!!
Find the garmin from Mohoric pls.Bring it back bandit.
Thats Jumbo Visma for ya!
Jumbo Visma superlative ⚡️⚡️⚡️Waiting Wout at Strade Bianche 🇮🇹
Sorry mate MVDP will be there so he’ll have to settle for second again
Wout has withdrawn due to illness sadly
Wout will debut at Tirreno -Adriatico 😉🇮🇹
MVDP will be at Milano as well!!🚀🚀
The Visma is definitely the number one collective team in the world 🔥🙌🏿.
Can someone tell me where they get their background music from, yet another banger
The new Mapei team.... take that how ever you like.
nobody cares what you think
Dominance
Ontos file!
Jumbo going full mutant.
Haha, my favourite GCN commentator. Please assign him to the races in the Middle East so he can go all-in on pronouncing Arabic place names.
WHO AWOKE THE BEAST???
Jumbo firmly erases the memory of Quick Step as the dominant spring force.....
Quick step with less than half of jumbo budget in prior years was the dominat classics team, its not hard for a team like jumbo dominate, with big budget they hired last year paris roubaix winner.
Splendid sprint Victory for Tiesj Benoot ending a belgian rough cobbles race, Jumbo Visma still the same! 💙💟❤🚴🚴♂🚴♀🍀🗽🎭🦺☮☯🏳🌈🥇🎉!
The belgians gonna dominate this season
4th victory only for benoot how is that possible
Already Jumbo Visma outlines kind of a suspect feeling about doping or at least using criticized substances like ketones
They are the only team that openly said that they were going to use ketones, while teams like QS and Ineos were doing it for 2 years and being all silent about it. Jumbo said it because they dont wanted to be secretive about it which in their eyes only made the use of ketones seem shady while its not forbidden.
Ketones are useless in one day races. Maybe they could be useful in recovery proces during Grand Tours.
GCN Thanks a million, I do love Jumbo Visma, but where are you Peter Sagan? Come on boy do something this year otherwise go home 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Best wishes from La Isla Ibiza
He is retiring at the end of the year indeed... and he has already done everything
Bruh.. UCI gonna ban leg warmers now smh🤦♂️
Good to see the fans out on a Sunday with their hands in the paths of cyclists moving at 60kmh
JVM got some good gogo juice this year too.....
Before this weekend they were 24th in the teamranking and people were allready critizing Jumbo Visma. Plenty of riders also fail at JV. Its not like everyone gets 5% better. So far there isnt a single lead that points to doping, unlike all the leads there were during the US postal era. Also during the sky era there were lots of leads. Lots of queetionable TUEs and they threw doctor freeman under the bus. So far no dirty for JV. So far all im hearing in podcasts fron riders is that JV simply is ahead of the other teams. Im absolutely not saying they are clean. Because i dont know that for sure, but so far there are no dirty leads.
@@gerardvermaat6944 LaPorte went from nobody to Superman last year.... WVA at the tour last year... Superhuman... .. only one explanation for that... and here we go again.. SUS!!!
@@timliscum2861 laporte wasnt a nobody at all..he allready had plenty top10s in the classics, but rising for french teams doesnt help anybody. Its easy to shout from the sidelines and I understand that people find them suspicious, because I do as well at times, but aslong as there is absolutely nothing besides great performances im not going to accuse them.
Jumbots Gewiss 2.0
another slurper
Ketones
Jumbo Visma is a cheat xD
Ineos spends most $ in our sport, Ineos wins zip, for years now
No wva, no mvp, vingegaard, Girmay, pogacar: thus we don’t really care about this race. We are waiting still for top tier racers, head to head
You may not, but you still came here and commented. Not the typical classics fireworks, but other pro' stars exist in the cycling world.
@@fernandotorres72587 second tier.
Who cares abour girmayo africano
What an absolute joke. May the best team doctors win. It's Team Sky 2.0 with their claimed marginal gains really being triamcinolone and ketones.
We don’t know, either way
@@paulsolon6229 History tells us that when one team dominates. It's either doping or something medically unethical.
@@stratostear you are v correct there. Everyone who is winning, even those not winning, are suspect. Agreed
Here we go again
Another incredible team performance from what used to be Rabobank. The nutrition must be top class at the Jumbo hotels 😉
