For the controversy around 7:20 I would say that I didn't actually see him pull, instead I saw his hand go up and then sideways, into the FDJ rider's side, in order to make sure that the rider knew he was there are if he kept going they both would likely go down, so it may have helped them both stay in the race.
The FDJ rider has a name: Ramon van Sinkeldam. The defending champion that year. He himself said Mathieu fairly beat him. Part of the problem is the bend in the finishing straight.
@@peterdieleman303that's not his name. He's called raymond sinkeldam.
@@drunkensailor112 Ha we're both wrong, sorry I wrote this quickly. It's Ramon Sinkeldam.
@@peterdieleman303 ah lol. Double bad
But back on topic: Sinkeldam would have pushed MvdP into the barriers if Mathieu hadn't signaled him with his hand. Pure self preservation. No controversy at the time and no controversy now. Such a shame you feel like you need to smudge this 'typical' great MvdP victory. What makes him unique is his enormous capacity to recover during a race. So even when he has attacked, he's still able to win a sprint a little later. A one in a generation talent with a kind heart and a good moral compass. Enjoy him while you still can.
Great job on yet another cycling documentary. Always glad to see your videos pop up.
Thank you 🙏
Absolute animal, sustaining wattages that would kill a mere human. Brilliant cycling filmmaking & narration.
Yet, he can't even produce enough wattage to power a toaster. 😅
@@psd9850 you aint too bright, u need to look up how many watts of toaster uses
@@user-xj5xp6qz5g 2 minutes at 1000 watts?
@@psd9850 glad to see you know how to google..so now do you see how you are wrong?
Rob Hatch will forever be my favorite announcer for that call and that call alone. Long live MvdP!!!
This was the one of the best documentaries of cycling that I have ever seen, great video as well as montage, as well as explaining the short story of absolute legend cyclist.
The endless loops of ups and downs, left and right, drains the body and the mind!!!
Fantastic. I only occasionally follow professional cycling, but this story of Van Der Poel was truly epic. Thank you for this documentary.
I hope many many people will have a chance to see this video, one if not THE best cycling documentary out there!
I appreciate it.
I am comparatively new as a viewer of professional cycling, your videos are just too good. Almost feels like crying when they win, you make their success feels mine. Amazing job Rifianboy..❤
Finally! Another documentary. ❤
Love it! Awesome production and narrative.
Long time no see you RifianBoy! We miss you!
I was hoping to finish this video by early March, but I never get things done on schedule 😅
Wow, what a great video. So well done. Many many thnx for this ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Best cycling documentaries on youtube!
Absolutely fantastic! And just to illustrate, my favorite cycling moment of all time was actually MvdP on Mur de Bretagne, taking yellow for his grandfather Poulidor with an incredible double attack; one to get the bonus seconds he needed, and the second for the stage win. ❤ But such a great documentary; great images as well; dankjewel Hamza!
I love that moment on Mur de Bretagne as well! I’m shivering down my spine when I even think of it🤣 let’s all enjoy this living legend.
I knew what happened already in all these races... but the way you made this video, the suspense was like watching everything for the first time. Brilliant!
Thank you for this majestic video!
Man, the quality of this video and your who channel is just amazing, keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
National geographic should hire you@@RIFIANBOY
amazing highlight! felt every moment VDP is freaking incredible
What a great wrap up and graphical masterpiece this video is. Thanks for collecting the moments and highlighting them so creatively. !!!
Great job on this cycling documentary! 17:45 he was just taking a short breather before his final attack!
The funniest sh*t even in pro cycling is that wout van aert's face hasn't ever changed. I guess he was full grown already right after the birth
I'm not a VDP fan, but this was the most beautifull win of all classic races I have ever seen ! This shows hard working can be rewarded !!
He didn't pull him, he was letting him know he was there. And the FDJ rider didn't even complain
Always happy when you upload rifian
why is this giving me goosebumps???
7:30 van der Poel was definetly not in the wrong. He may have pushed his opponent out of the way, but he was going left and more left almost into van der Poel which is definetly wrong
man UCI really need to hire you, your videos really help new fans to understand racing and introduce them to the current and past greats
I'm pretty sure Mathieu Van Der Poel just signaled the FDJ rider that he'd pass, he didn't actually pull the FDJ rider, but simply alerted the FDJ rider that he'd pass from the left side, and he needed to alert the FDJ rider since he was pretty close to the barrier
Another great effort. Quality is 1,000% like always. thanks guys
What a legendary story, an epic tale retold so well here. 🔥😎✨
Always a great morning getting to watch a new RIFIANBOY documentary!
so epic ! great works as every time !
Hamza, your videos are always excellent. Great job as ever.
What a VIDEO man, I liked so much, great job.
I remember seeing Amstel Gold Race in 2019. My jaw dropped and eyes popped I can surely tell. What a legendary race.
Incredible editing and storytelling, loved this
Such a good video!! I loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it.
That win in Amstel is Legendary!!
my goat is mathiue van der poel and you give us the best videos about him. IM SUPER GLAADDDD that you videos pop up on my search of mathieu van der poel best race.
Love videos like this. MDVP is my favorite cyclist even when he’s away from pro cycling. Would love to see you cover wins from unexpected/underrated riders over the years
legend video, again.
The quality of your videos are mesmerizing
Great documentary! Keep up the great work. MVDP is a beast indeed, it’s always great watching him.
Wout and Mathieu are worth eachotter no matter how you turn it . They both big champions !
en zo is het!
But… the difference between the two great riders is that MVDP is a killer. He makes it off in worlds biggest races.
@@patricks5232 Think bigger bud , think much bigger !
Epic, thank you
This channel is amazing
What a wonderful documentary made for free on KZhead :)
Awesome content as always ,.🎉❤❤ Love your channel and MVDP and WVA 💯 SAGAN the legend ❤
wonderful. Please post an epic one on Van Vleuten or Van der Breggen!
This was great written and made. Thanks!
Super nice filmmaking, please continue doing it. So far the best cycling documentary that I have seen.
Great video epic moments !
Great Doku Button ------->
Wow to MVDP and your channel! How have I not found you before?!?! Incredible content and subject all around! 👏
Glad you enjoy it
Great job!
Sick video! 🎉
Thank you
Amazing documentary!!
That 60km/h attack on the cobbles of Roubaix tho…absolute animal. But there is one other thing that he does brilliantly-the leadouts for Philipsen at last year’s Tour were a joy to watch.
man, your documentaries should be on netflix. I would really want to see a series of episodes or a long form one, the way you deliver interests and narration is chef-d'œuvre
Thank you. Maybe one day.
Amazing video!
Best cycling channel out there
Allez!! You are back 😃
The golden three: Pogacar Vanderpoel Evenepoel
Great video, you should do another of WVA and Pogi 💪
Absolutely outstanding video. Congratulations
What a brilliant video. Kudos
Im not even into cycling but your documentarys are just sooo amazing so i watch it anyways😮💨
Awesome video 🎉
Geez this is TV broadcast quality documentary, crazy! You should work in the industry. Keep on!
Inspiring performance!
Insane story telling and a clear story line good job

Very well done 👍!
Very nice video about van der poel
Great video
super viedeo gemacht - thanks a lot
An awesome movie! Thanks
Great video bud! Please make such short documentaries on cycling more often
Excelente trabalho. Parabéns. Um abraço do Brasil.
BABE WAKE UP RIFIAN JUST DROPPED ANOTHER BANGER VIDEO
"Cycling is a Religion." There's a lot to be said for that statement.
What an awesome video. 🎉
Dutch national championships controversy looked like a example of phenomenal bike handling skills and cunning. FDJ rider unsportsmenly tries to close the door instead of go toe to toe with Vanderpoel. Taking a hand off the bars going very fast in a frantic sprint and staying upright is a extreme show of skill. He alerts the rider he wants past but the rider keeps closing the door. So Vanderpoel puts his hand back on the bar and in text book passing form physically nudges the rider out of the way which is what he deserved by the looks of it to me. Amazing neither wet down, again a amazing show of skill by Vanderpoel. I don't think there was a thing wrong with Vanderpoel's actions. The FDJ rider knew what he was doing.
"Because I was cold" Legend.
In the championship race the rider in blue clearly left the line, so MVDP was justified
Van Der Poel is a incredibile cyclist. I don't know he well before this documentary. I was more involved in 2010s cycling world with sagan, froome, nibali, tony martin and the others. Great Mathieu!
Brilliant video mate. Any cycling fan should make a bee line to watch it. Thank you.
Brilliant film. Please also make one for Pogacar, Pidcock and Van Aert 👍
Will try to come up with video ideas about them .
Verdadeiramente Van Der Poel ´´e um ciclista exemplar... pra mim ele é uma inpiração para pedalar , parabéns pelo esxelente documentario ficou otimo .👏👏👍
Excellent video
cool, like the short Lance input.
Amazing video
Goosebumps
Can we do Pogi on next documentary please? Your videos are being really well put together, we love it.
I love that your back (can you maybe do a documentary of Wout van Aert)
Thank you. Maybe later this year.
Thats good for me because i know that those documentaries cost a lot of time @@RIFIANBOY
What a great video! Although the end (World Championships) seemed a bit rushed and unfortunately the Mur de Bretagne win at the TdF wasn't included.
I think that his biggest quality is that he can recover way better and more quick then his colleagues, next to all his other excellent qualities. Mentally he is very strong too.
First time see, it's awe-inspiring wow, very well filmed music ambience and wham magical mindful ✨️ tactics and courage. I came across video by accident. Wow is so can say. I'm originally from Europe and you were born to cycle 😊 take my hat off to these guys. 🎉
The best of his time. The rivalry with WVA is over since 2023! Now it is Pogi who is his biggest rival
