He didn't pull him, he was letting him know he was there. And the FDJ rider didn't even complain
His name is Ramon Sinkeldam, and he specifically said afterwards it was fair play
Great job on yet another cycling documentary. Always glad to see your videos pop up.
Thank you 🙏
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.
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.
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?
@@psd9850 You are only proving his point. "It is estimated that over 700 people around the world are killed each year as a result of toaster fires and electrocutions."
Rob Hatch will forever be my favorite announcer for that call and that call alone. Long live MvdP!!!
i dont know a thing about professional cycling but i loved this documentary! thanks!
Fantastic. I only occasionally follow professional cycling, but this story of Van Der Poel was truly epic. Thank you for this documentary.
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..❤
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.
Love it! Awesome production and narrative.
Finally! Another documentary. ❤
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
The endless loops of ups and downs, left and right, drains the body and the mind!!!
Wow, what a great video. So well done. Many many thnx for this ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for this majestic video!
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.
Best cycling documentaries on youtube!
What a great wrap up and graphical masterpiece this video is. Thanks for collecting the moments and highlighting them so creatively. !!!
Thank you 😃🤙 really enjoyed that, what an athlete!
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
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
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.
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!
amazing highlight! felt every moment VDP is freaking incredible
Always happy when you upload rifian
Another great effort. Quality is 1,000% like always. thanks guys
What a VIDEO man, I liked so much, great job.
Great job on this cycling documentary! 17:45 he was just taking a short breather before his final attack!
Hamza, your videos are always excellent. Great job as ever.
Incredible editing and storytelling, loved this
so epic ! great works as every time !
Always a great morning getting to watch a new RIFIANBOY documentary!
Such a good video!! I loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it.
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 😅
That win in Amstel is Legendary!!
Great documentary! Keep up the great work. MVDP is a beast indeed, it’s always great watching him.
why is this giving me goosebumps???
Epic, thank you
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
The quality of your videos are mesmerizing
Great job!
Amazing documentary!!
What a legendary story, an epic tale retold so well here. 🔥😎✨
Great video epic moments !
This was great written and made. Thanks!
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.
I remember seeing Amstel Gold Race in 2019. My jaw dropped and eyes popped I can surely tell. What a legendary race.
Amazing video!
Awesome content as always ,.🎉❤❤ Love your channel and MVDP and WVA 💯 SAGAN the legend ❤
legend video, again.
wonderful. Please post an epic one on Van Vleuten or Van der Breggen!
Amazing video making skills. I was never interested at all in this kind of cycling. This video made me sit at the edge of my seat.
Thank you
Super nice filmmaking, please continue doing it. So far the best cycling documentary that I have seen.
An awesome movie! Thanks
What a brilliant video. Kudos
Wow to MVDP and your channel! How have I not found you before?!?! Incredible content and subject all around! 👏
Glad you enjoy it
This channel is amazing
Inspiring performance!

Great video
Great job! Very easy to fall to it.
Very nice video about van der poel
Excelente trabalho. Parabéns. Um abraço do Brasil.
I love how cycling indefinitely finds new amazing heroes after the previous get disqualified. So now it's van der Poel, fine.
Sick video! 🎉
Allez!! You are back 😃
Insane story telling and a clear story line good job
Thank you.
Absolutely outstanding video. Congratulations
Best cycling channel out there
What an awesome video. 🎉
Great video bud! Please make such short documentaries on cycling more often
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 !
What a wonderful documentary made for free on KZhead :)
"Cycling is a Religion." There's a lot to be said for that statement.
Great video, you should do another of WVA and Pogi 💪
Verdadeiramente Van Der Poel ´´e um ciclista exemplar... pra mim ele é uma inpiração para pedalar , parabéns pelo esxelente documentario ficou otimo .👏👏👍
Great Doku Button ------->
He is MVP. The no 1.
cool, like the short Lance input.
Im not even into cycling but your documentarys are just sooo amazing so i watch it anyways😮💨
Amazing video
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
Excellent video
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
Goosebumps
Brilliant video mate. Any cycling fan should make a bee line to watch it. Thank you.
1st 6mins of the video gaves me chills. he is GOAT! MVDP is GOAT!
Nice job 👌👌👌
Geez this is TV broadcast quality documentary, crazy! You should work in the industry. Keep on!
Can we do Pogi on next documentary please? Your videos are being really well put together, we love it.
Amazing Video, Great documentary, hope to see more about van aert, tadej and more of the fan favourite pros
well done
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
Yep, that rider is Ramon Sinkeldam who afterwards also said it was fair play
LOOK at VDP in the last seconds - in NO way did he pull or shove ANYONE ! VDP simply guarded his lane to make sure the other rider didn't push him into the barrier. NO foul play whatsoever !
Brilliant film. Please also make one for Pogacar, Pidcock and Van Aert 👍
Will try to come up with video ideas about them .
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. 🎉
