sprint category looking to get really interesting this season, a lot of younger guys pushing through and cav still in the mix
This
Yeah for a while I thought Bennet was going to be head and shoulders above everyone else. Turns out it’s going to be a pretty competitive season.
Yet another great race recap by Lanterne Rouge. Your dry humour is second to none, and I'm very appreciative of the fact that you love cycling as much as I do. Cheers!
I think its really nice how you wait a few hours to release the best coverage/recap videos on youtube. Forces us to spread the love and watch the other channels before getting the good stuff. Your comentary makes the stages very interesting
LR taking the high road with Mullen, giving him kudos for a strong pull and congratulating Bora’s leadout. Karma still prevails with Bora losing the stage though.
Lanterne please, we need Quintana's latest performances vs Tim Wellens covered
Don’t think he has the rights . He covered it on the podcast
@@sean7098 aaw
Loving these short, funny and excellent analysed round up of the days racing. With the early season I struggle to find an hour to watch all these races but watching these shorter clips whilst having my breakfast has been excellent. Keep up the good work - and the humour! V funny.
Philipsen def looks so much faster than last year
think it's two fold - 1 year stronger (he's still only 23!), and 1 year extra experience working with the Alpecin train, it's got very good understanding and fluid now (see Bike Exchange for one that's still not got the right chemistry yet).
@@MichaelBoogerd Completely agree, the way he was getting dusted by Cav in the tour last year (Unfair leadout comparison i know) made me think he was a cut below the best, but he's looked electric so far this year. Also seems to have a good characters / sense of humour.
I dont see him any faster at all, Cav already beat him once, more to do with quality of leadout trains here. Put full leadout train for Cav or Jaccobson and either would come out on top.
Very classy Mullen commentary (not that he deserves it after his comments). Philipsen is on fire at the moment 🔥
He’s a dirty rider
He said on Twitter that I "probably have an inflatable girlfriend under my bed right next to a crusty sock" in relation to my comments in my video earlier this week on him drifting into the DSM train at the end of a stage
@@LanterneRougeCycling YIKES
@@LanterneRougeCycling his move was as terrible as his imagination
@@LanterneRougeCycling the guy sounds like a weirdo.
Now the premier cycling highlights package.
hey, no - should not! last year Adam Yates banged the face in the same race and Pogacar asked to wait for him!!!
You just got to love those excited crowds
Mokov just riding along at the end.... I'd like to see him to contest the fight!
he did the work for cav, cav had a mechanical in 5he last km
Saw the title of the video and immediately thought…Movistar would’ve pulled
100% lmaooo
I love these insanely wide roads!
Smart tactic by INEOS (not my favorite team). Because right now they don't have a big threat for the Le Tour. They could be looking for a stage in the mountains. Where Pogacar would not attack and let them take a stage if no harm to him in GC. This is UAE home tour. Give them the benefit to pay dividends later. Smart long thinking.
Man, say what you want about Cav needing Morkov...if Cav was delivered to the line as well as Bennett was, he'd have won the stage. That leadout deserved 1st
You could say the same for 5+ other sprinters though? Bennett hasn't raced for almost a year
I really thought Bennett would take this one, but hats off to Philipsen, what a punch he showed today. He's gotta be considered an absolute top sprinter now.
Seems like they are missing an extra leadout man. Van Poppel is doing his best but he cant lead out so far from home like that.
I know is a sprint stage, but Ryan Mullen doing unnecessary things, he had plenty of space and instead decided to push Dumoulin, the other day just returning to the bunch to disrupt the pace, seems a little bit more than just fighting for position
Speaking of Cav, I think you can see him at 5:19 suddenly look down at his bike and disappear off camera as it pans to the front riders. Assume thats where his mechanical happened
Im happy with Kooij so far...solid young man! Up the Jumbo Visma boys👍
LR - hear me out. 12km 7% climb (it's not wet and cold) fresh leadouts. On current form Pogi vs Nairoman vs TheHirt. Whose taking home the bacon?
Hirt
I wouldn't say a puncture is a "terrible" mechanical but ok it worked out for them. Good sportsmanship
Love Phillipsen and that Alpecin-Felix team!!!!!!
Would be fun to see Pogacar in a sprinting train competing with Phillipsen haha
Maybe it will be about ten years later, not soon; if Pogacar goes on like this :))
4:05 Once again a rider (Alpecin) falling back trying to crash half the peloton by rejoining in the middle.
I would think that this pissy-ass unsportsmanlike and dangerous behavior would be a bigger UCI priority than the height of rider socks.
Bennett looked sluggish. After a terrific leadout, he didn't get the job done. If it was just Philipsen, I'd chalk it up to Philipsen's flying form. But Kooij overtook Bennett as well like he was standing still. Rough day for the sprinters on my fantasy team - him and Cav. Did Cav not contest because he was recovering from yesterday's head bang?
Mechanical in the last km apparently
Was on Morkovs wheel in the last kms and then had a mechanical
You can see Cav's mechanical at 5:19, just to the left of BikeExchange's train
He is being pretty honest in his post race interviews that he does not have the legs after such a long time away from sprinting. Still chasing numbers and form.
@@JDDDDDDD Sounds fair. I’d love to get details. Any links?
Some early good racing.. Boring location, but the roads opened up all kinds of opportunities..
They are streaming this race live on KZhead! Local dialect.
Ive been watching them all.on YT...i might be speaking Arabic at the end ha! Im happy theyre available to watch...i was pleasantly surprised 😳
About the TDF, Laurent Jalabert (former multiple winner) said on French TV that on flat stages, you don’t pace when the yellow jersey has an issue, be it mechanical or just a crash. That’s an unwritten rule
Not really, kinda feels like a low blow when you try to attack clearly the best rider when he has a mechanical. People need to find a legitimate way to beat this kid, hat tip to Ineos.
I agree, except in tdf gloves are off
@@LanterneRougeCycling agreed, the TDF is a life changing race so all bets are off lol
@@LanterneRougeCycling Attacking during a mechanical or a crash is extremely dirty I reckon, cycling’s normally above that sort of behaviour.
Is it?
It was in the last 7KM, everyone was attacking, trying to win. The whole peloton isn't going to wait up in the last the 7KM of a race. Shit happens, mechanicals are part of the race. Again, 7KM to go. Not 170KMs.
Interesting situation. I think if it's ok for Pogacar to get draft from team cars to get back, then other teams shouldn't pace against him. It would be strange and dangerous to race against someone who is riding between cars.
Pog gets back or at least very close... plus there is still a climb stage where Pog could take time on Ganna so Ineos would probably not win so no reason to pace. Just like Armstrong waiting for Ulrich when LA was comfortably ahead on GC, it always pays to be the nice guy when it costs you nothing. You probably can get a favor in the future and give up nothing.
Nothing to do with Ganna, Yates is Inneos leader so any time they would loo to gain would be for him.
lets not forget pogacar calming/ stopping skuijns and kwiato...when crash happened behind bit of karma. Teams and more so DS remember that but as you said in context thats not how ineos would want to win they want yates to outclimb pogacar. He would have been received with hostility, not justifiable, but UAE tour:) Smart move. Excited for the queen stage..just love that tadej takes races so seriously coming off of covid he would be forgiven focusing on Tour like others. He loves to race and obviously im a fan of that style, alla, WVA, rog, MVDP, I know i keep saying it butI really think Gaudu will have great year liege and lombardia showings last year, basque country pulled with Rog and his TT has really improved. Train to win by racing to win.
i like the look of hirt for hafeet tomorrow
@@LanterneRougeCycling I get that vibe : )hope for his sake he does he's one been working and peaking. it's smart perfect time to do altitude everyone's watching pogacar at uae big splash....pog was sick , and doing this for sponsors but he wont pull that card I will lol. majka is good Dom for hirt staccato surges but wanty planned this as well as possible. People don't realize how strong taaramae is. If pog wins it's like Eddy let somebody else have a crack
@@LanterneRougeCycling tomorrow is also opportunity for Yates though because ineos never won stage race against pog.
Funny how Bennett did the same to Kooij today as Philipsen did to Groenewegen on stage 1, yet now no one (apart from LR here) talks about it, yet Philipsen was the devil himself according to so many people. It's literally the same thing, except that Bennett closed the gap even faster making it more dangerous!
It can be argued Bennet started his sprint at that point and made no deviations after that, unlike Philipsen who continued deviation long after starting. But you are Belgian so I predict you wont agree.
It would likely be a different conversation if Kooij did not have the space to swing around Bennett, and in the end beat him in the sprint - therefore it seemed as though there was less consequence in Bennett's dive to the barriers. But LR did say this was "exactly like Philipsen did in stage 1, and worse than what Richeze did in Tour of Oman". Can't make it the topic of the video every time, but I'm sure all this footage is going into a larger compilation/discussion video of this messy topic.
@@larslosh5598 ha I didn't think of that. it looks like he's already sprinting for a couple seconds, but it's still technically mostly in van Poppel's wheel, so I guess you're right. I still feel like it's just as dangerous, but it's allowed according to the rules. And trust me, I do not care about the nationalities of riders. I'm not patriotic in the slightest.
@@ktakashismith oh I wasn't specifically talking about LR not talking about it, because like I said, he did. But usually Twitter and Reddit explode when it comes to such things and I didn't see anyone mention it.
@@ktakashismith I still think Richeze did an intentional block to allow Gaviria to win. And he has done that many times, so I think what Richeze did was worse as he wasn't contesting the sprint.
why uae dont just give pogacar the bike of a teammate with just 5k to go ?
True, surely Bennett’s would fit him
IPT's train in good shape but why why why so early?
Where is Sagan ?
Philipsen almost tore Bennett a new one in that sprint.
Patrick Lefevre endorses this comment
When Mullen switched to Bora, I remember LR saying he didn't deserve it & only got it for being Bennett's mate... I'm guessing that's why Mullen said whtta he said
I don't mind teams taking advantage of a mechanical. A crash though is different.
What’s the black jersey for?
points classification
@@LanterneRougeCycling Really? I thought Jasper Philipsen was leading that classification and was in Green.
I thought Tour of Slovenia was Pogacar's home race?
It's his team's home race
So why is Bennet deviating of his line and going to the barrier allowed?
It shouldn't be - but they didn't relegate philipsen for the same thing on stage 1
I can wait Peter Sagan, Egan Bernal, Primoz Roglic in one competition.
I remember uproar when contador attacked in the TDF when one of the Schlecks had a mechanical. Still to this day I don’t understand the uproar. Riders race to win, if a competitors bike plays up that’s his problem, not yours. As long as riders aren’t purposely taking another rider out it’s all fair.
you live in a very simple world
Well it's all part of racing for sure, if you can take advantage of it then great, although in that particular stage Andy had the yellow jersey so I believe that's why people reacted like that. It's an unwritten rule you don't attack the leader when they have a mechanical/crash
Also Schleck had just attacked and it was an obvious battled part of the race
@@willbick7889 same world as you Stephen Hawking
@@mr.pannenkoek7392 thanks for taking the time to explain that, it does make more sense to me now.I do seem to remember he dropped his chain going into the big ring and hadn’t run a chain guard which would have stopped him dropping his chain (but then again that could just be the good old British media twisting things) in which case you could understand contador thinking that’s schlecks problem. If I was a big schleck fan I’d have been annoyed by the situation but as a neutral I felt that if I was in contadors position I’d find it very hard to stop and wait knowing that the “other schleck” was the next rider on the climb, which would then give the schlecks a huge advantage when they caught back up.
Automatic subtitles: Teddy Pogacha 👀
Last 50km, race is one and there are no gifts
UAE tour sprint stage and in their home race. No point in having bad blood this early in the season.
Wouldn't Pogacar have tubeless tyre sealant?
tubeless has no place in road cycling. only on mountain bikes
car stop at :19 he has a bike a :29 its a 10sec change i think its really good wtf
How is a puncture a terrible mechanical ?
no dmg done but some teammate should've given pog their bike I recon
Where has Bennett's speed gone??? He was hitting Ws for breakfast last season
Lefevre: “once they leave quickstep they stop winning.”
It’s still super early in the season and he’s Bora’s sprinter for TDF, don’t judge too soon 🇮🇪
Philipsen looks primed to compete for the green at Le Tour
how is the parcours this year. Can he finish it over the mountains?
Last few kilometers in a race, there is no waiting. Nobody does that. Mechanicals are part of the race.
Viviani top 10 again. And again no mention of him in the sprint break down. I guess he just does his thing with put drama. Jet he is not in the over all top 10. Humm I wonder where he lost so much time? Was it the time trial?
Ineos on disc brakes.... Price of rim brake stock just dropped 80%
i think more race should be done outside europe.... look at the spectators ....they are not on the road obstructing the cyclists...
First, there is way less spectators than in races like tdf. And this is a sprint, even in europe spectators aren't on the road during sprint
Racing on a highway. Well I guess there are no ecstatic fans to accidentally hook somebody's handlebar and cause a crash.
Only a matter of time for Sam Bennett to get back to his best , he's been out a long time.
Pogacar UAE .. the tour UAE. Is not difficile
terrible bike change
Imagine all the tree huggers complaining if Ineos paced when Pogi had the mechanical though
No problem when you are in the cars flux ..
insane
'Unwritten rules aren't worth the paper they're written on"
Og courage not. 6 km. To the finish no
If this had been really bad or worth it, it would have been an immediate swap with a teammate.
I don't make the rules
Benett looked weak there. Definetely not at his level
Philipsen is powerful
Weak field lmao
👍☘️☘️👍👍☘️☘️👍🍀
Its just not cricket! But, even cricket is no longer honourable (looking at you aussie! First to cry foul but first to sand the ball😅). Gloves off all year. Sponsors money tops unwritten rules. It will only take a couple more major contraventions of the 'rules' for them to be done forever...
first again let’s goooo
great coverage of a rather unattractive tour.
You attack Pogachar in vain and he will smite you…long live the Patron!
Relegate Bennet. He didn't keep his line and forced Olav into the barriers. Olav might have won if Bennet didn't do that.
Can this guy talk a little more through his nose ?
where are the spectators? this race is a joke.
a mechanical problem in the modern world of reliabilty , his equipment is shit or hes dumping the powered bike before the finish so it doesnt get tested.
Wtf are you talking about. A bikes without any risk of mechanical doesn't exist 🤦
@@superdark813 try reading what I have written
@@patthewoodboy I read perfectly that's why I replied. you said his equiprment is shit which is totally wrong or he did that so his bike doesn't get tested which is totally stupid
@@superdark813 so you deny riders are using motors , have you not watched videos of bikes wheels speeding up after they crash and the 19 year old women who was baned for having a motor ? and tried to say it was friends bike even though her friend was a different height. You are going to tell me next Armstrong , Ulrich Pantani etc werent doping
@@patthewoodboy It has absolutely no thing to do with Armstrong, his time and the physical doping so why are you talking about that ? You don't seem to know much about cycling so maybe you should stop saying shit. Yes some riders used mechanical doping but they are a few and they were caught. Nothing in common with a double winner of the tdf in a professional race. Wheels are made so they move extremely easily with every little touch and have nothing which block them. Just by lifting them from the ground wheels will be rotate. The wheel was turning at a very high speed before the fall so obviously it still has some energy and momentum and if they aren't touching the road anymore they will keep moving
Nope , never ever attack the Jersey when someone punctures , like have some of your guys actually raced , come on to take over on GC because of a mechanical to one of your competitors , how weak !!! Now I can hear everyone howling what about a crash , ! If you genuinely go down because of no fault of your own , the Bunch should slow down , if you crash because you are fatigued or go to fast into a corner and deck it, then maybe there is a case for every team for themselves !
Etiquette is going sadly you can see it from races to bunch to even social rides. I've been left flogging it and redlining due to being on the back of a lead out group ride then a car causes a wait. You'd always check to see if a rider got caught out at a roundabout etc but I'm seeing less of that. It more about self and getting a ride done and back to whatever people do next. I'd go as far as saying the director should call a slow and wait as a rule.
I’ve been trying to think of a term as catchy as ‘Dopestrong’ for Pogacar. ‘Dopgacar’ is a bit rubbish. Yes yes, I know they’re all doing it.
Pogstrong
Needs a pseudonym like.... Luigi
slovenian yogurts seems really strong...
you are just hating on pogi, how about when WVA dropped everyone on Mont ventoux and win the race at tdf last year? Lmao Dope-van-Aert? Mathieu van dope poel?
I did not see any women watching the race ! That's funny , aren't thy supposed to be civilised people ?
