Ah Movistar, a clear example of a deserved winner of the Team Classification. Wait a minute...
"Because...Movistar" really is the feel rouge of this Tour
4:33 I've never heard an English speaking person pronouncing "Emanuel Buchmann" so well, greetings from Germany, love those videos!
4:41 "--because, Movistar." That line killed me hahaha
how carapaz won the giro would also make an interesting video, considering the team he was riding for
new SD in Movistar for Giro come from BMC
They rode brlliantly for Carapaz at the Giro and they have, in fact, done so when Quintana won his two Grand Tours...
you should watch the documantry series about team moviestar and the giro win (on netflix). The team were actually really good, and helped carapaz alot
@@lowrainsrow7681TBF I think Uran wins Giro 2014(or at least is closer than he was) if stage 16 wasn't a complete mess.
Movistar is like a disfuncional family of awesome members
Man I'm gonna miss the Movistar trident
I think there is a bit of a difference between what Thomas did on stage 18 and what Bernal did on stage 19. Thomas counter attacked a teammate who had gone clear, whilst no other GC rider was chasing Bernal. So Thomas did nothing but drag all the GC contenders closer to Bernal. Whilst on stage 19, Thomas (3th overall) went clear with Kruijswijk and Buchmann (4th and 5th overall), so Bernal waited perfectly until Alaphillipe was dropped and then rode across to the other GC contenders without towing other GC riders closer to Thomas.....
Forever Bernal... Superman the Tour... Bravo....Egan...
I know exactly why Movistar paced on Staged 18, it seemed confusingly obvious to me. They were trying to remove other domestiques from the leading group, meaning that no team (cough, Ineos, cough) could use 6 riders and takes minutes out of Quintana on the Galibier. By pacing behind a teammate, they helped to ensure Quintana's victory (in a confusing way).
Are...are you implying Movistar was employing... strategy? 😮
@@miguelpereira9859 not really, I'm just trying to explain it. Anyway, it clearly worked because they won the Teams Classification
I wish Bernal had gone for the win in stage 20 to end any doubts. The somewhat arbitrary ruling of stage 19 wasn't really a great way to decide the tour.
Doubts? He finished 1 minute up the road from his teammate. The lack of vanity over stage wins is exactly why Brailsford wins every year.
Jens Behrendt he was sill top GC rider, so I guess that is something.
I like Team Moviestar. Very entertaining to watch
I like sarcasm :)
UK coverage uses commentators / pundits with Tour experience, but they were often at a loss to explain Movistar tactics.
robinbeckford That’s what I love about them :-)
I find it deeply sad that Quintana,Landa and Carapaz are leaving.
exactly movistar.GC rider droped and they still chasing, gc rider attacing and they chasing him. why are we chasing? ineos on the other hand stay still and let not leader to attack let him go when everyone else looking on thomas. i think that is great tactics from team that wasn't strongest this year. victory well earned.
Been loving your summaries for years but the recent ones seem incomplete without a bit of music at the end
I still think Stage 19 should've just been completely cancelled. The only good news is that the GC would probably have been the same. If Stage 19 had been raced fully (if it had been safe to do so), I would imagine Alaphillippe losing minutes, Kruijswijk attacking, Yates winning the stage and a select group getting near, if not to, Bernal.
Am alternative route on stage 19 as you mentioned might have made things different
What is the title of the intro soundtrack?
COSMOOOOOOO
fantastic ……..
I feel that too few people remark on the attack-killing headwind on the final climb. It was very accurately predicted by feltet.dk that shallow gradients and a headwind would lead to a very passive race on the final day.
I think Tao Geogeghan-Harts ride was important here. He was strong.
lol @ because Movistar!
I get that putting the finish line on top of Iseran wasnt allowed, but what other choice did they had ? Cancel the whole stage ? Everyone would scream at french favoritarism
Iplay4fun it would have been fairer.
@@Ewane for bernal it would have been unfair tho. Ineos raced according to 3 mountain stages left not 2 and a half
One might also add that Bernal won because the only potentially superior climber (Pinot, who had clearly dominated him in the Pyrennées) suffered an utterly unusual injury and had to give up
Was it a team order that Bernal made a breakaway in contrary to G. at stage 18 ?
Chris Cons G told Bernal to go to try to kick things off in the GC
G did try to attack a bit later but he couldn’t separate himself from Pinot and the rest of the favorites. I think he didn’t have the best legs, because the next day he attacked before Bernal but he couldn’t get away from the rest
Chris Cons G told Bernal to attack to up the pace.
Thomas was unlucky in this tour. Had Stage 19 finished normally, Bernal would probably have been caught by Alaphillippe on the descent before the final climb and Thomas, who would have been drafting Alaphillippe with no intention to chase Bernal, would have been the freshest of the three.
Daniel Goodlad there is no way. Alaphilippe gained almost no time at all during the first part of the descent, which was the technical part where he would have been able to make up some time but he didn’t. Thomas could have still benefitted though as jumbo visma had de plus for pace making and bora stated after the race that mühlberger had almost caught up with before it was abandoned. So they could have made the pace for their leaders through valley while they and Thomas could recover.
Daniel Goodlad I don't think Bernal would've been caught, but I do think the fresher GC riders would've made in-roads on Bernal up the final climb.
No way. On the top.of Iseran alaphilippe was 2 minutes behind bernal. When the race was stopped the gap was 2minutes 6 seconds. Bernal is good descender. And in thé Last climb bernal would add 2 or 3 minutes to alaphilippe. Bernal deserves the win. Since pinot gave up bernal was the best
@@faridfares8338 Maybe you are correct but Bernal is probably better than Pinot so would have been best even if he hadn't abandoned on stage 19. Which was really sad by the way.
@@danielgoodlad7355 you are 100% right
easy just because of the typhoon
Alaphilippe was amazing. He really made this Tour something special. Boring boring Sky/Ineos finishes one two without a stage win. Tour was better without Froome. Would've been even better without the Asthma Society that moonlights as a cycling team. The Arab teams need to up their game financially. Thank you Quick Step. Thank you Alaphilippe.
They are not the only ones to have "asthma"..90% of the top teams have the same "problem". That's pro cycling boi!
So you think the arab Teams investing more will help the sport? Look at what happened in football (PSG, ManCity) -, they do exactly the same as what Sky/Ineos does.
@@carligb8983 Yeah, but at the moment it's Man City playing in the Conference
Bernal wins. JA is a lousy climber so he looses. Whatyagonnadou about it?!?
@@guitarrerist698 The problem is not Bernal. Fair play to him. The problem is boring boring Sky/Ineos with all their money.
Lucky..... if pinot weren’t given up, he would never have won the tour!
Pinot give up 4 times / 7 Tour de France.
That bernal waa lucky with the shortened stage otherwise thomas would have won it
Movistar is a shame for team sport!!!
Is that legal? people pushing cyclists when they go through crowd?
What a corrupt event lmao
Good job he didn't win it, and they changed the rules so stages finish half way through.
Sour much? Bernal attacked played smart and it payed off...the gap was too much.
I hope he isn't a doper, but I think he is.....😪
Pinot is a doper not Bernal.
@@nimbus6546 Spoiler: Anybody is a doper at this beautiful sport, unfortunately 💤
@@fistofren3483 You can't prove it! There are facts about Pinot (very strange injury).
@@nimbus6546 The past taught me so...
@@fistofren3483 The science taught me that Pinot is probably a doper. I have no evidence that Bernal is a doper.
