This is La Flèche Wallonne Men's race, the closest you will get in World Tour cycling to a one day race sub 3 minute hill test. The big contenders were Primoz Roglic, Julian Alaphilippe, Mike Woods and Benoit Cosnefroy for the inevitable showdown on the Mur de Huy.

"He can jump over a hundred metres on skis" Perfect comedic delivery.
Roglic's compelling answer had me snort out my coffee hahaha
full on Kimi vibes hahaha
@@AuliaHakiem29 lol
@@AuliaHakiem29 bwoah why not? it's just a hobby for me.
Wai not hah
Trolling
Why do people always disparage Roglic as dull, people just dont get him, he's so dry and funny and such a nice guy, he's a bona fide gent and a good sportsman too. Dude is just awesome.
The raikkonen of cycling
@@petef15 BWOAH...
Well said, great sportsman and seems like a good guy too.
Probably because Americans struggle with dry humour
I think he's also more relaxed these days and being a bit less reserved in front of the cameras. The way he's dealt with disappointment and adversity is top class too
Best cycling-basketball crossover ever, GM Lanterne.
Roglic cracks me up. “Well uhh I was just there and why not huh?”
It's his favourite phrase :D And really good for viewer morale boost :D
i lost it at "the world tour's jr smith" LMAO great vid as always lanterne!
"jack up eight 3's. .. some nights they might go in." So so good!!!
"jack up 8 3's. Some nights they might go in. That intro was epic.
Roglic can jump (100 meters) (On skis) Memes are too good here
Ditto, laughed out loud at that
Sorry but I don't get it...
never stop these hilarious tangents, it's what keeps these highlights great, even after watching the race
Valverde showing that PG experience - palming the sidewalk crossover to dice up Pidcock. Daring the ref to call it.
Getting that veteran hall of famer whistle there!
Sensational starting 5. "The World Tour's JR Smith" might be the best I've heard.
Sorry to hear that you had to go through a Charleroi airport experience, wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy
La ville la plus laide du monde !
@@GoustiFruit You have obviously not visited Detroit ????
out of curiosity what makes it so bad?
Is there even an airport?
@@Austin6403 I've been there and it's annoying that it's very far from Brussels, about an hour and a half away. Aside from that, I don't know what else he disliked
"Why did you attack so soon?" "I was just there and why not?"
you forgot the "eh?"
Why do people feel the need to comment straight transcriptions from the video? Are you a secretary or can't you come up with your own material?
@@tudidingsapparel7197 It’s “ja”, meaning “yeah” in English. He should definitely switch that “ja” for “yeah”.
@@ctrlaltdelete200390 Looking for confirmation from others that the moment you enjoyed so much was enjoyed by others as well. It's a social discipline called "sharing happiness".
@@ctrlaltdelete200390 Why you heff to be so mad?
The cycling hoops team was pure gold.
Literally in tears over your basketball line up 😂 spot on!
Hahahahhhaa the hoops team had me DYING
Dude how do produce so professional and entertaining videos daily like its nothing, im truly amazed
Roglic on Sunday. His last appearance b4 the TDF. He’s going for it!
Hahaha, I love your basketball squad
I sure Roglic will revenge on tour de france this season he'll get that yellow jersey
Primoz “Why Not, Huh” Roglic
That lineup was gold
That Marc Soler J.R. Smith comparison is so spot on 🤣 I'm still cracking up! Kudos to Alaphillipe. I cannot help but wonder what would have happened with better timing from Roglic and positioning from Valverde. Of course, this is part of racing as well. Too bad Pogacar could not be at start of the race.
Every sport does have a dude that will jack up 8 threes every now and again
Alaphilippe is just an animal. One of my all time favorite riders. He's so exciting to watch. Lanterne Rouge is Da Bomb by the way. The videos and production values have really jumped up this year and as usual the commentary is world class. Love your channel.
alaphilippe is a rider who comes for all or nothing : victory or just let it go
It’s interesting to me that he’s so powerful for such a small physique. He’s really small against those one day race specialists.
@@LukezyM Thats why we use watt/kg to measure performance.
The next time someone asks me to justify something, just gonna fire back with the old “why not not, huh” 😂
MVDP: 'Some low IQ plays..'. Superb! Basketball is a mystery to me, but I'd watch that team ;)
So good!!! That sixth man pick was amazing... Can't wait for the cross over pod with the Inside the NBA crew
I just gotta say it, Lantern, you have officially lost it.
Calling for a "shaqtin' a fool" World Tour Edition! lol
So what i noticed is that Roglic attacked with quite a small bracket, giving him an advantage in the really steep section (you can see his legs moving very quickly). Alaphilippe on th eother hand attacked with a larger bracket which made him control his pace a bit better on the steep section and then permitted him to kick past Roglic at the end, when the profile of the climb (kinda) flatened out. I think Roglic had the better legs today, just the wrong tactics. Congrats to Alaphilippe who really pushed himself to the limit, love this rider!!
Changing up chain rings with di2 takes all of a fraction of a second. If Roglic had it in his legs he would have outsprinted Ala, he had enough time to do so
@@philipk4475 Well yes and no. He saw Alaphilippe very late, and moving up a gear when you are at the limit is much harder than keeping your gear.
Great stuff LR. Thx👍
“The world tour JR Smith” 😂😂 that line up had me weak
Brilliant video and footage. You explain it all so well.
I love this channel. The highlights make my day.
Amazing to see Pidcock doing so well in his first season.
amazed by your basketball knowledge, just awesome! keep up the great work! kind regards from austria
Hilarious beginning, and great video!
What's not to love in this one? Great intro and it continued!
Love the intellect, humour and knowledge of your work Sir, great stuff.
Love the intro.
Lanterne you took a big step up with the channel (and the podcast) this season - congrats
You're the best in the world at this man. I don't know what it is about these videos that are so pleasant to watch all along.
Man you just combined my 2 favorites sports in your intro that was geniuus
So grateful this stuff is on the tv now (sbs), but being a weeknight I failed in staying awake after midnight ! Cheers for the wrap up. Why not uh :)))
The MVP basketball references were top shelf. Great intro mate
didn't know I needed a cycling basketball crossover till now and I'm crying with laughter 😂
Your basketball team segment is CLASSIC!
Love it lanterne, never change. The starting 5 had me laughing before work haha
THE BEST cycling channel ... superb ... thank you ✌️
Fantastic top 3 result!! They all deserved it!! Great highlights review as always!! Looking forward to the next one Sunday or Monday 🇮🇪time 😁
The “as our leader says ‘why not eh?’” Is sending me
Just found your page, great vids and commentary
Quality- production, analysis, sarcasm, entertainment. By far my favorite cycling pundit.
Not having Pogacar on the basketball team is a terrible oversight. The man has the Dame Lillard killer instinct
Love ya work. Thanks
I normally never comment on anything but lantern you are the reason I absolutely love the pro peloton. You’re content is absolutely the best. Thank you for making this so enjoyable to watch
Great hoops chat. Effortlessly switching sports like a pro!
Love the mix of basketball commentary mixed in.
Another great video!
I feel bad for Roglic, but well played Alaphillipe ,Very impressive Valverde!!! This channel is so underated!!!
Best cycling analyst hands down, keep it up Lantern!
That basketball bit was incredible man 😂❤️
I see you are up to date with NBA aswell props to that
Loved the basketball dream team. Good stuff!
I didn't understand the basketball stuff but I appreciated the intermission nonetheless 👍 Keep up the good work!
Your NBA lexicon is on point. I see you are a man of taste outside of the cycling world.
Loved that nba intro mate
ahaah amazing introduction with the basketball team. Keep going ;)
Perfect Soler analysis!
love your basketball analogy
Best basketball insight I've ever seen from a British cycling youtuber.
British?
Röglic, a man of many words...! Good job Woodsy !
NEVER THOUGHT THAT BASKETBALL AND CYCLING WOULD MASH THIS WELL GODDAMN
great stuff, nearly died on the basketball part, I guees you know your sports
Love the basketball breakdown lol
Loved the little bball intermezzo
THAT BASKETBALL INTRO!!! Marc Soler - the worldtours JR Smith ! HAHA!
aye bruh. love you rougeee. from india
What a great 5 man line up!
That's an awesome starting 5, although I had Alaphilippe at 6th man, still, your squad would definitely make the playoffs.
Great run down. Boom
I almost spit out my dinner when you mentioned Marc Soler on the team lol! He definitely has the height!
LOVE THE BASKETBALL SKIT.
"The World Tour's JR Smith" . That is a masterful comparison. The basketball references are always appreciated LR
Thanks!
Oh my lord, this is the funniest episode ever. The Roglic soundbite makes me laugh every time!!
Just love this race. Alltough the last winners i cheered for were Gilbert, Evans and Rebellin.
Brilliant
Great breakdown as usual thank you! I see now why Rutledge attacked when he did because he was fed up with almost getting crashed when be got squeezed and said enough is enough and did what he does. He for sure was surprised. (Rookie mistake, he never looked back with 25m to go.) Just my oppinion. Rookie as in his first time racing this race.
Amazing
LR with the NBA crossover I'm in HEAVEN!
Awesome video as always. Would've been 10/10 if you had only put the best sprinter in the world, Nairoman Quintana as the centre. Guaranteed Shaq like domination.
I did not know your comedie. Top
This is the best Roster announcement ever!! LOL
Best entry to a video yet 😂
by FAR the funniest video so far :'D
Great analysis. I just watched old man Chris Horners video and he legit said that Roglic should have looked at how Hirschi won it last year and done the same thing. Roglic is never going to beat Alas 10 second max power on the Mur but he might beat him in a 2 minute max power.
I agree on a longer climb Roglic would certainly defeat Alaphillipe.
Not sure... Alaph best perf this year is a second place on the Mont Ventoux. He's not so bad when climbing fast is necessary. And It's not sure Roglic could start earlier.
Old man Horner lol, he may have a Vuelta, but Lanterne has a full head of hair
"Marc Soler is Cyclings JR Smith" lol facts!
brilliant intro
roglic is so funny love him
@lanterne I am once again watching this video reveling in the incredible JR Smith Cleveland Cavs 2014-2017 reference
hahaha! love the Basketball line-up!
