Clément Champoussin AG2R Citroën Team wins the stage followed by Primož Roglič Team Jumbo-Visma and Adam Yates INEOS Grenadiers. Primož Roglič Team Jumbo-Visma leads the general classification.
Best grand tour stage of the year. Best LR recap of the year. “Choo choo Bahrain train!” “Arghhhhh! I ain’t marking that man, he’s a wild thang!” And the bike fit advice at the end. 😂😂😂
LR Is the best!😁
Love the excitement in LRs voice for the whole recap
"I aint marking that man, he's a wild thaaang!" - This belongs on out of context Lanterne Rouge
“Stem 30mm too long” should get honorable mention.
how you made those mvdp emoji

This is vintage LR. Perfectly walking the tightrope between piss take and valuable insight. It’s gold.
RIP Gino, what a legend and this just shows it
Adam Yates is an enigma to me, stoic attacks and never shows sign of suffering, he's got an air of greatness about him but never quite manages to get there
As a UK supporter, he is so annoying!
asthmatics...
He looks amazing on one stage, and then looses 10s on a nothing medium mountain stage. Must be so annoying to be his DS
Yeah, he never looks like he's sucking wind.
Nah he's just a guy who doesn't show emotion. He's not a GC threat because he just doesn't have the legs for 3 weeks of riding. It's always been that way. That's not enigmatic; plenty of guys like that.
That race audio captured of Champoussin was epiccc! “Ahhhhhhh”
This is one of the most iconic LR vids in a while
Mate i never seen this guy in the back of gc group, i was like this guy just catapulted trough their draft into attack straigth after the chase, this scream was atleast 50 watts increase for 30 seconds. Insane moment on insane stage
What a victory for Champoussin! The ugliest cycling I’ve ever seen but the most amount of pride in crossing the line. It’s been a good year for AG2R Citroen.
Without "ugliest" to contrast beauty loses meaning. This is the 'other' side of cycling.
Such a shame for bernal. I really like him and his humble attitude and him always praising other riders even or especially if they beat him. I hope he has a strong comback next year. He definitly deserves it!
I agree so much... I would want him to be on the podium with Primož and Mas... i was so sad today that he lost white j. to Mäder. At least he won Giro this year, so i am glad that he had some happy moments and dreams come true in the season. He is a great guy abd rider.
Ya he's awesome. I wouldn't say comeback however, as he did win the Giro! I just don't think one can target more than one GT per season. It's just too much herculian effort ;D
I love how much panache he's developed. He's all in, boom or bust, and I totally get it. Why try to defend a top 5 in the Vuelta when you've won the Tour and the Giro? He wants the full dinner cutlery set, and goes balls out!
Agreed. And he still had a great race. Not the result he wants, but he was definitely a major character in the storyline, pushing the plot forward. And he’s still got a Giro win from the year. Good year, especially after last year and completely classy champ.
Deserves it? Lol he was lucky that he won a Tour de France by luck. You deserve what you get in grand tours. They are 21 stages long.
Woohoo, Gino "I just need to get a bit stronger" Mäder in white, that's all I ever wanted since Paris-Nice.
Roglic just simply allowed Champoussin to win, to me it was a sign of class and intelligence as it was the first pro race win (Champoussin) and its always good to form friendly allies in a sport like cycling. Well played.
This is a move of class,compassion,and sportsmanship..you don't chase somebody down just because you can..In American sports we call it..piling on..like leaving your starters in w a big lead..adding points for no reason..I like the way Bernal and Roglic,Pogocar compliment others..
Champoussin: Nothing to lose, everything to gain. Roglic: already got 2 stage wins and the Vuelta in the bag. also Roglic: Go for it buddy.
Roglic actually already won 3 stages and is probably winning his 4th today in the ITT
Eurosport's British commentators lose their minds every time Simon Yates attacks, "laying down the law", "shattering the field to pieces" ...then he precedes to lose 20 seconds on GC every single stage 🤣👍
Did Champoussin even know he won when he crossed the finish line? I mean, it seems so weird that none of the big guns even tried to follow him, so if I were him I would be really confused. And how could he keep track of all the riders attacking and dropping back? Bizkarra, Gibbons, Haig, they all played jojo, it must have been a nightmare to keep track of the situation from within the race. Anyway, great win for him, spending all day in the break but still hanging on when he gets caught and then choosing the perfect moment to exploit the weird tactics among the GC riders. I love it.
I think the logic behind that is if Roglic immediatley closed him he would have given Yates and the others an opportunity to possible stay on his wheel and counterattack. I think Roglic did it exactly right waiting and seeing if they have the energy left to attack. The other arguement is that he was critized for stealing the glory of an unkown rider so he let him win and still won over the other GC competitors. It means so much more for an unkown pro to win a Grand tour Stage than just another win for Bernal, Yates Roglic...
probably saw no reason to follow, why bother wasting energy for another 10s, when u got a big lead already and a time trial the next day
I wouldnt be surprised if champoussin wasnt sure he had won right away. I was watching live, keeping track of where everyone is and who's attacking when, and somehow even i missed one of bizkarra's attacks (after champoussin attacks, suddenly bizkarra is ahead of the top4. you can see him in the background at the mas attack clip) It was such an amazingly chaotic stage!
You don't beat your chest when crossing the line if you don't know you just won, or at least think you do.
FINALLY! I don't have to go back and forth to the GC overall standings to know exactly who's a threat. This addition is much appreciated.
Wdym

still golden standard in race recaps after 2 and a half years...... legends
Lopez's abandon is like the scary little pit bull getting dominated by another dog and then running off whimpering into the bushes. What a piece of work. Unzue should have said, "Hey Miguel Angel don't give up, you're only in a Spanish grand tour race racing for the most prominent Spanish team. Oh yea remember what you said about us before you joined us?"
loved the addition of the GC rankings when identifying riders in Freeze Mode!
Great review mate. It was noticable you had fun doing it and your voice impressions gave this one a unique, funny character. Keep it up!
OMG if the reports are true, Lopez quitting the Vuelta after being dropped is the most quintessential prima donna Movistar move I could possibly imagine. I realize professional cycling is extremely hard and mentally very taxing. I'm sure his motivation was completely lost after the split with JHaig and knowing he was off the podium...but come on man. If you have no injury, finish the dang race and just feel blessed you are in the top 10 in the Vuelta. At the very least do it for your teammates you can look them in the eye over dinner instead of apologizing you quit.
What a shake up! Incredible. The Vuelta was such a sensation this year!
Ever year it's the best GT...imho anywho ;D
@@jamie4293 agreed!
Bahrain by far the team of the year. Calling yourself Victorious takes some bollocks but 29 wins, 3 national champs, 6 GT Stages, TDF Team classification and potentially 2 GT Podiums, and it hasn't been easy losing their leader at 2/3 GTs
DQS would like a word.
They lost their leader in 3 GTs - Landa, Haig, Landa again. But less said about Landa, the better. Sheesh!
Bahrein Suspicious
So LR, what you're saying is AG2R Citroen will ride for Roglic next season since he let Clement win? I hear you loud and clear!
Just a smart move by AG2R to recognize that the GC squad will be holding a little back for the time trial. Congrats to them.
I feel sorry for Lopez but Bernal rode on and I am sure Roglic would have too! In all the excitement we all forget how brilliant Roglic has been. The best in the world? Can’t wait to see a show down between Rog and Pog!
I think there was drama within Movistar that made Lopez not want to ride anymore. also, his group was making him do _all_ the work to bring the gap back, even though they were losing GC positions too, and even though it was obvious that by himself he was no match for the guys that were pulling up front.
More than one laugh out loud reactions to your commentary. Nicely done.
Amazing last few km by Champoussin. Terrible sportsmanship by Lopez.
Easy to judge, isn't it?....Very clear that you have NO idea of the situation of MAL and the Movistar team director????...........
@@fernandog.aguirre2791 tú sí que no tienes ni idea de la situación de Superman en Movistar. Menuda vergüenza lo que hizo a su equipo y a sus compañeros. No sé en qué estaban pensando en Movistar cuando lo ficharon.
Love your summaries - you keep everything so exciting, even when I know the results
Great video watched it straight after listening/watching the LR/Benji podcast and it was so good to have a grasp of the complexities.
This Vuelta has been awesome! Thank you for the race reports.
LR great energy here that matches the stage. Nice work all Vuelta on the content!
What a stage and what a recap, thank you for all your work
Best grand tour stage and best video commentary. Well done, mate!
Choo-choo! You went "wild thang" with the commentary and sound effects this time. I dig it.
CHOOOO CHHHOOOOO. What a recap, well done mate
Great recap yet again. Thank you.
Love the display of teamwork from TBV
What a surprise win! My Velo team is shockingly happy!!! A Quokka roar and now a Wild Thang "roar"....please tell me there's more in your repertoire. The sound effects enhance the concise analysis and the contrast is much appreciated. Thanks for giving us LR 2.0. Loved it!
5:46 hahahhaa i went crazy when i saw that man with his mouth wide open, best moment of la vuelta 21
Roglic to Champoussin - Let that Man through!!
one of the best stages ever
Choo-Choo! ... great sound effechts, Patrick!
Very nice presentation, thanks.
Love your commentary mate!
brilliant analysis
The sound effects are next level
Great work!
Perfect recap!
What a great, inspirational ride by Champoussin. Looked like he left everything on the road of that last climb. Rog, as usual, is a complete and utter cardiovascular beast. Massive congratulations to Jack Haig and TBR for putting him on the podium.
LOL the funniest stage recap ever! When you said "Choo choo" and "Aaarghhh!!" I lost it🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vuelta never disappoints :)
I'm only here for the "choo choo!" - it's like the Lanterne Rouge of old. :-D
We've heard the roar of the Quokka before... Today we heard the roar of the wild thaang at 5:48
All aboard the Bahrain train choo choo!!!!🚂🚂
Vid title should be: El dia menos pensado Season 3 Trailer
👌
@@tillyvanilly7015 How funny is it that the title song of the series is called "Go solo"
Movistar must be contractually obligated by Netflix to keep up the drama.
@@lisadimmick4334 Awarded 'Most Dysfunctional' prize ;D
@@lisadimmick4334 It's a reality show. The sponsors may actually prefer drama to a 4th or 5th place.
Brilliant analysis as usual. I think a minute will be too much for AY to make up on JH.
I really like the sound effects
Laughed out loud at the Champoussin impression. So good
Great analysis LR! I was really sad to see M.A Lopez dropped out in this way.
awesome video
LR's best work to date.
damn LR you went all out on this one :D gj
Great video , funy
Roglic superb again
Best vid since crosswind chaos trilogy
Love the c-c-crosswind chaos
LR, top marks for the Mäder "tchou-tchou" and Champoussin "aaaaaaah" sounds
Awesome stage... and question... where can we get a t-shirt with Champoussin "bravehart" pain face? that was epic
Did you know that Lantern is speaking 132% faster in this video than in his previous personal best?
You one smart man
Lol Lanterne did this whole recap in his Zone 5 at Vo2 Max 💨
Mark Perdun or however you spell it is the real hero, dropping back and closing in the lead again basically on his own
Good one by Gibbons. More a sprinter but smashed a solid ride.
You're the best
Any tour of Britain coverage? Your probably busy with all the races on at the minute
Has anyone ever seen a successful attack from Mas? This man is a little bit of a mystery to me. He can follow an attack but I didn't see him attacking on his own without turning his head like a dozen times to see if it sits and not giving up if the gap was not big enough for him.
Vuelta España, stage 20 2018. And you know what...he beat Lopez back then and both were riding in different teams.
Does not want to risk his podium
Padun puts out prolonged climbing power that would seem to make him a potential GC guy. I wonder if BV is holding him back?
I mean they literally did hold him back - Padun was railing it off the front of the break but got yelled at over team radio to wait up and help Haig+Mäder. This isn’t checkers, this is chess. It’s not a matter of “6W/kg smash lol” on every climb, there is a ton of finesse and strategy that goes into grand tour racing, and being able to pull like a truck is only part of the picture. There was great insight from Haig himself during the rest-day recap pod that LR gifted us with, that he thinks Padun is really really strong, but it will take time for him to learn the game. That’s why guys like Pogacar are so dangerous, it’s crazy to have legs like that but also the head for tactics at a young age.
I watched the LRCP rest day interview with Jack Haig and at one point he mentioned his teammate Padun. Maybe I read more into it than what was intended, but he seemed to imply the issue with Padun is between his ears. Pay close attention to the guy and keep in mind he is still quite young.
"With that stem that's 30mm too long " sent me to the floor
Reminds me off the penultimate stage of the Vuelta 2015, when Team Astana launched an team-attack on Tom Dimoulin and Fabio Aru got almost carried to his first and still only Grand Tour Victory. If you miss one attack and get dropped at the wrong moment, hilly terrains including longer flat parts in between the hills can cause more damage to a GC Rider than some high mountain stages.
Indeed!...To me it was very sad seeing my favorite racer Tom D. Loosing the Vuelta that day. Tom was the race leader but was in a very weak team. Astana sent satellite riders from the start and attacked Tom with Aru and Nibali. With still many km to go Astana had isolated Tom. Astana had couple of riders to drop from the break away and 4 of them put the hammer on the flying Dutch...it was a sad moment seeing Dumolin pulling alone, no one giving him a relay...The 4 Astanas arrived together to the finish line, and crossed the line smiling and embracing each other while pedaling. Their ambush succeeded and their assault to the Red Jersey was complete. Tom dropped to 6th overall...
watching this now😭
gino
It’s not even a joke, but Roglic could have won 7+ stages on this Vuelta. He’ll win tomorrow, he gifted Lopez the Queen stage, gifted Champoussin today’s stage……..he’s just trying his best not to seem like an absolute mutant he is 😂
Nah, he definitely didn't gift that to Lopez. He's got a couple kilos on Lopez who has a history of being one notch faster on the huge mountains. This one is harder to know but he can only mark so many attacks without blowing up and losing time
@@bobroberts5820 Lopez stage? They just let him ride off the front. Just because of the way tactics played out. Roglic rode across 20 seconds of the gap like it wasn’t there
@@isitrachelorj3953 I’m a massive fan of both Roglic and Lance
Champou went full send into anime mode power up final attack
How does padun look so disappointing on many vuelta stages, then look like this today?
It took a while to figure out what a beasting on the lip is, but I think if got it now.
Let's just state the obvious - Mader will be serious GC contender pretty soon
Bahrain actually has a shtacked mountain squad if they take all their hitters to a tour - Haig, Landa, Mader, Padum, Colbrelli, Poels, Mohoric, Caruso...
@@GDF07 That was essentially their squad this vuelta... Landa was terrible, and Colbrelli isn't a climber. Mohoric is the only person they were missing. But remember that every team needs rouleurs/engines to pace on the flats to keep the GC guys towards the front on the flat stages and for plenty of other reasons. That's why Bahrain brought Arashiro and Tratnik to this Vuelta, but Tratnik wasn't great.
Schultz is a legend
I'm not chasing that..... "WILD THANG"
Rogla could've done two-step punch like he did to Mader in Paris-Nice S7. But he is a different rider after what happened in S8.
Nuclear Padun returns
Gino Mäder MVP of this Vuelta
I thought you were going to say "before realizing as [Champoussin] crosses the line 'hold on, I forgot to zip up my jersey for my sponsor's photo op'." And I was wondering why he never went into the drops, and you're right - that stem is too long!
Excitement on the winner's face... its like being a kid all over again.
Awesome commenting 👏
Lopez sure went full biles there
Brooo sorry i know the winner was a pro but darn, that style of riding was funny 😂
LR and Butterfly choose exact same thumbnail 54.8 kilometres to go piccy !! What chances ?
Fucking hell that commentary was class 😂😂😂
INEOS is the new Movistar because Movistar now is the new Movistar v2.0. Lopez has had enough.
The chu chu was the best part
Yates and Haig... Teammates last season
b&b-but! what happened to bernal?! You can't just tell us cameras didn't show it, so you dont know!
lol "I ain't marking that man, he is a wild thang" 5:48
5:49 LMFAO!
