I was really worried we wouldnt get enough drama this year as movistar dont have their trident anymore, but uae fills the gap perfectly
Lol they are the new movistar/sky maybe by their Drivers no wonder about it !
The guy pacing the group with baby bike seat. 5:35 😂💯
legend hahah
aero doping, DQ
Yeah I thought surely that warranted a mention from LR, his cadence was 💥 😂
Definitely has someone sitting on.
it's honestly hilarious to watch UAE being basically incapable of properly organizing themselves when Pogacar isn't there
Hey, Soler did a great job getting them TV time in the break today. Glad he saved his legs.
And they signed all those guys on like 10 year contracts lol we will be entertained for years to come
@@larslosh5598 yep - it absolutely wouldn't surprise me if there'll be at least one of those riders leaving in a similar way like Bennett left Quickstep because he doesn't like domestique roles
@@larslosh5598 It is going to be better than Game of Thrones.
@@errornamenotfound604 The next DSM
It's the perks of being spanish in a spanish race and having big gap between self-image and real image: Soler and Ayuso are showing at Movistar tactics are all about.
What's the story with "Johannessen, enemy of the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast"?
He destroyed Jay Vine on hill once, who was seen crying in LR's arms after the race.
Nah mate he was seen punching a koala in the face at the tour down under.
@@bigchungus8126 Well, that koala made a joke about his wife's haircut
Johannessen was PISSED after the stage. Although it was his first WT stage race ever, he is harsh on himself and has an incredible winner mentality. He really wanted to win today and he was clearly the strongest rider. Really disappointing finish with the terrible cooperation in the front group, but this is not the last we see of him.
I don't blame him, UAE have been excellent at ruining both their own chances, and everyone else's.
Curious what he will do in the Tour of Flanders next week
@@TheRealKingLeopoldII I'm also interested how he does in the Ardennes classics too
Yeah, good for him, show some passion. Almeida by contrast always seems content with third place.
I absolutely cannot believe Uno X was snubbed in getting a TDF wildcard this year. Just look at how well and mature they ride as a collective in any race they start in. They would be such an x factor this summer. And as a bonus, I would have loved to celebrate this wonderful sport with my fellow brothers and sisters from Norway for the first three stages in Denmark. Johannessen bliver en nationalhelt i Norge over de næste 10 år, min ven! :)
Kudos to dad with toddler on bike, kicking to keep pace with the leaders. 6:53. Good show, dad.
From my perspective, Almeida should have been made the solo leader once he won the queen stage and became the race leader. It's silly not to make him the leader once he got the leader's jersey. Though Almeida seriously needs to improve his race positioning, if Ayuso had given 100% and pulled as hard as he could with Costa during the climb yesterday, we all know that Almeida would have won the race for UAE... Who's it to blame? Ayuso? the Director?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
agreed, major cluster. If I was the sponsor I'd be looking to replace the director.
WHat about Marc Soler? that looked pathetic, there might be something that I am not aware so but it was sad to see
@@juliooswaldobellotorres3636 Who is it to blame then? This lack of coordination is not helping anyone
The only one to blame is the UAE DS. Everyone knows that the brake on stage 6 would have been neutralized if they worked as a team. So UAE DS has the responsability for not having won the GC at this year Catalunya Tour. To many leaders and few domestiques at UAE atm, and if they don't get their act together it will happen every single time that Pogacar is not at the race.
5:32 lol the bicyclist trying to chase up with his kid in the back, love it
UAE doing a Movistar 😂
UAE really did some moviestar tactics in this race
And then they wait for the better sprinters to catch up XD
Im never gonna understand why groups of riders at the front slow down when they got rid of the sprintier boys on the climb just because no one wants to do the work and then everybody sits up.
Felix Wagner somehow you managed to ask a question and then answer it in the same comment, they let them catch up cuz no one wants to work that’s the whole play you use the threat of bigger sprinters catching as leverage to make others work for you
Hey Lantern, why is Tobias Johannessen an enemy of the channel?
Lanterne throwing down the hammer. Consider me a friend of the podcast.
Maybe UAE have a competition to see who will be leader lol. That was a mess
The "not working radio excuse"...it seems to me that Almeida made a huge mistake on signing with UAE.
Certainly looks that way. In the winter he said he had bigger money offers but chose UAE because of guaranteed leadership. Seems like he got fucked but doesn’t seem like the guy to impose himself on others. Not sure if it is a lack of carisma or something else
Almost a phenomenal stage. After Ayuso/Johannessen gapped Carapaz and Quintana on the last climb I was so excited, but UAE disappoint once again
Whenever their leader is in struggle (rarely ever happened at UAE) they seem to not know what to do. Like Mcnulty in the basque country last year, Pogacar was pacing for him for a good while, even though it was clear Mcnulty wasn't going far that stage. It made them lose the race instantly as a group with all the other favorites were ahead. I have also seen it a bit during the one day classics where it was pretty much only Polanc working for them but despite outnumbering other teams they don't commit to a pace or don't seem to agree on who to work for. It's the best climbing team on paper at the moment but there seems to be little cohesion between all of them. Yesterday and today also a good example as said in this video. If they waited yesterday on Rui Costa they could have paced with a fresher Soler and Costa until the later climbs. And yes, Ayuso should have done some work too.
I think ayuso has issues with being a domestique, this was not the first time this happened in this stage race.. I'll be watching for future stage races.. I am a full higuita fanboy tho
Don't forget bout Soler too. The stage hunter. Good move from movistar for get rid of him
@@JC-ni6pw I think Soler was ruined by Movistar. That's what they taught him that's what he does. It's like a third class Mikel Landa.
ayuso is 19 years old, so it's ok that he doesnt know any tactics but he needs to learn fast because he needs to know that almeida is the team leader and never to leave him ever
He knew enough to "backstab" Almeida. No respect for the sponsor whatsoever.
I dont think he will accept domestique work, ever. Portuguese fans are understandably pissed, but as LR touched on...Ayuso showed something. He showed that psychopath possessed massive magnum dong ego that like it or not, so often leads to glory. This fucker will win GTs
It's not difficult ... the Director should be in his ear giving him guidance ...
@@larslosh5598 This comment is hilarious 😂
This is all good and well but when you drop your GC rider on every descent it is a little bit "ffs". At least Almeida knows how Remco felt at Giro now 🤣
5:36 Love the dad with his child in a carrier sprinting while the pro riders are jockeying for position. ;}
Ist WT win for Baggioli and he looks like he just took out the city limit signpost finish line on a club ride.
The UAE team “tactics” have made me even more excited for the Itzulia Basque Country. Let’s see how the go with McNulty on the team. That dude has been on fire.
Higuita looks stronger than I would have expected him to. Curious if he can keep his form until la vuelta. He could have a decent shot at podium
sure he CANT. come on its 5months to vuelta. they plan some peak then down and peak again.
For what it's worth, Almeida did acknowledge making a mistake during yesterday's stage on his facebook page.
politically correct
@NORCAL cycling is mad mad…..thank you LR crew for all you do!
Always brilliant
Johannessen angery bunny hops at the finish line deserved a mention tbf
Ayuso and remco should work nice together! Both talents both good to screw team mates
5:37 see the madlad with the child on his bike going the same pace as the GC group? Moviestar should call him!
Best highlights packages on YT. GCN not bad, but this is better 👍
Are their antics this week an attempt to get a place on the Giro/Tour squad? Need to bring Pog in to calm the boys down.
16, 17, 18% gradients and they're racing up them. I was gasping and spinning my way up 12% yesterday in survival mode, forget trying to attack someone else!!!
I hold the director fully in charge of this mess. If radios aren't used then yes, its on the teammates.
Someone needs to teach Atilla Valter how to be aero in a sprint; that elbows-out, head-up sprint position at 6:14 is worse than Froome
I'd love for you to do a survey on how your audience's viewing habits have changed since watching your channel. Because my answer would be, I went from watching the tour every year and nothing else, to watching every world tour race in the space of less than a year. Would be interested to see how you have grown cycling's audience
Sounds much like my answer. I looked for as many races as I could find and then looked for podcasts. I've followed LRCP since it began and because of them I feel I can watch with knowledge instead of just viewing.
Complete shambles honestly. Sad to see, happy for higuita tho. Seems like Almeida was a bit robbed by UAE themselves, even though he obviously also fucked up
where did you see the provisional list for basque country?
Kaden groves only lost 1 min 28 too. Dude is in amazing form
I don’t think the uae guys like each other, it’s not just that they don’t help each other but it seems like they do things that hurts the other.
UAE director are showing that they have no hand on that team. Pogacar is the Everything man on that team. Its pure ass move, to fully blame Ayuso yesterday, when Almeida has clearly a Very Huge problem on positioning, he has amazing legs to climb at his pace not caring about positining that much but in other situations he needs to use is head. Costa and Pogacar have alot to teach him how to positioning. Ayuso looked like a fool yesterday for not working (because lets be honest if the team is working for intermediate sprints for one goal you need to do it too on the next day, but the same can be told about almeida positionign for the same intermediate sprint being aweful..) And today he did the same exact thing. On the descend almeida tells him to relay and he doesn't do it ? your're crakcked but at least go to the front, you cant pull harder pull what you can, you will make lesser dumb figure. He's young and dumb, but needs to look at this and learn. UAE has amazing team on paper and individual, but on the road we see how bad they are. And how much they need to grow. (last year 11/14 WT victories were from pogacar, not Team emirates but team pogacar).
Oh man I gotta ask, at first I thought it was my TV during la vuelta last year but it seems they do some weird grey scale stuff??? I kinda see it on your videos too, some of greens are shown as greys
Sure you're not just color blind? :p
yeah it is really bad at catalunya this year, i tried to colour correct it on the first stage. it makes for bad thumbnails
Have to admit, Higuita surprised me
i hate how theyve been cutting the starting ribbon
Almeida should have stayed with quick step. He wont get the same chances on UAE even if QS is the evenepoel show
I’m sure he got offers from BORA. That is where he should have gone.
@@pdrmnds nah, for gc they have higuita, hindley and vlassov along with kelderman & schachmann. Lots of gc hopefuls on that squad vs quickstep which just has evenepoel and i guess alaphalippe. Almeida could have done like giro+vuelta or shared gc with one guy not 10 zillion better riders than him. Ayuso is pog level good apparently, UAE have so many good riders, they need donestiques and i feel Almeida will be that since pog is going to always take priority
@@goemon4 Bora signed Higuita, Hindley and Vlasov because they could not get Almeida. Almeida would have been the sole leader for Bora in every race.
They probably have an internal bet on who will have the better time within the team. Whoever gets the better time this race is GC for the next. Only explanation I can think of.
Can we have some Context on why TJH is an enemy of the pod haha
Same yesterday by the Ronde Fdj Madouas in 1 group Küng attacked in 2 group why that happens ?!
Hot take but if Soler is in a race with Pog, Almeida, or Ayuso, he should be dom unless one of the three completely have shit for or blow up. I think if Ayuso gets more consistent and Almeida also (and gets less shit at descending and stronger on the longer climbs), Soler cannot compete with them. Soler is fourth fiddle in UAE
I mean, soler was not even a contender. Pogacar-João-Ayuso-Mcnulty. João is still better than Ayuso in long clims and has a way better ITT
@@McJizzas I think you are right, I was thinking about Mas when talking about Soler. And yeah that is a good point, we will have to see how Ayuso fares on races with bigger climbs.
Almeida needs to step up as a leader. Ayuso was way out of line yesterday and today. What a mess UAE was in this race.
Movistar syndrome: having too many good iberian riders resulting in absolute shambles for the team.
Why is Johanneson an enemy of the show?
He destroyed Jay Vine on a climb earlier this season (I think it was in Etoile de Besseges) and LR knows Vine wel
Therefore it was better what Miguel Angel Lopez did than what Ayuso and Soler did to Their team mate Almeida, attacking your team mate is bad
Dad sparks it at 5:35 😎
@Lanterne Rouge what team do you think is it better to serve the leader to each race? Lets imagine Ayuso will lead the Basque Country and João Almeida will lead Giro. UAE Basque Country start-list: AYUSO Juan, BENNETT George, FISHER-BLACK, Finn, FORMOLO Davide, MAJKA Rafał, MCNULTY Brandon, SOLER Marc UAE Giro:Start-list: RICHEZE Maximiliano, GAVIRIA Fernando, ULISSI Diego, ALMEIDA João, COSTA Rui, COVI Alessandro, FORMOLO Davide.
UAE was a joke. Dont tell me they were playing the card of the two leaders from the begining because they were not. They Lost the Race because of Ayuso not giving a s#€t about his team leaders being in the leaders Jersey and not pacing ever. He would suit much Movistar in the future were everybody does what they want and in the end fall short on every Sommet finish.
UAE without Pogačar are the new meme team!!
@LR, I'm missing your coverage of the women's races. What's going on?
Portuguese twitter better get ready for a shitshow at the giro if they take ayuso lol
I am disappointed for not make single video about bimiam grimay
Ayuso stating he wants to be better than pogacar during training might have ruffled some feathers seems he has been frustrated and showing it with Soler already can't afford that : ) he wasn't happy with Soler stage 3 ,almeida stage 4, attacked on descent stage six little demonstrative sitting up asking bike time check comm's issues... someone should remind him pogacar won l'avenir, then Algarve , and California in 2019 before going to Vuelta to work for fabio aru, so humble start and eventually rode himself onto podium. We know what's happened since, I think either could have won this race strength wise with cohesion but almeida starting stage six way too far back was mistake as he admitted and lack of communication/cohesion just looks unprofessional. Ineos had strength but still lost porte sickness they have 0 excuses uae only lost a lead out man. Chapeau higuita, and carapaz formigal style attack that stage was made for it , uae wasn't in good position and still shouldn't have mattered if they went to front and pulled it back others would help once they thought stage was winnable they shouldn't need arkea in that instance. Ayuso showed that pulling back a minute in short distance if he'd done it on rolling dry terrain or climb with team changes race. Crazy. Credit and cojones on duo higi and carapaz , side note carapaz celebration winning two up sprint with higi seemed dramatic no? I love that they sprinted after all that effort again cojones but higuita had race lead and waited on descents all day, maybe his style and what makes him so scrappy kudos 180 k 💪🤙
@Laterne Rouge 2:55 It seems... It seems? So you just don´t know where your talking about, right?
Honestly if Ayuso is doing that, just because the director give him the freedom to go solo, otherwise I don't see a rookie of 19 years old , doing what he wants
Girmay doing king shit
wrong race dude
Clown performance by Ayuso in this Volta
Hopefully this doesn't happen to Pogacar...
How...he can win by himself if needed🤣
@@heldercosta515 It may seem like it, but he can't
Bicycle
Fiets
It is not that interesting B c wva mvp roglic pogacar not there
Is UAE a powder keg bigger than Movistar? whe POG is not on the helm WHO Is there to take the team on a leash and follow the lead? Ayuso and Soler are showing they come this far from a school of spoiled brat young cyclist? do they have to wait on the line or keep play landa?
