Pogačar's LAST CHANCE for Another Stage 

Man, picking up the bottle just to give to that kid. I don't care if Tadej wins another race in the rest of his life. He's just a good dude.

"majka is pocagar's first lieutenant colonel" . Best phrase ever said by chris!!!!! Majka is a beast!!

Tadej seems like a decent sort of guy to ride for. Appears to be publicly appreciative of his teammates efforts.

I lost count how many times you, Mr. Horner says "I cant do it" everytime G looks back.. They way you say it is hilarious too. 🤣

I love how he gave a kid a “ high five “ as he was climbing up the mountain

Thank you Chris and Garrett for all your time and work on the show

I dont think anyone else has mentioned it but I loved the little jimmy johnson #48 car that zoomed across the screen

Chris Horner: I'm pretty sure I speak for more people than me when asking if you can do a video describing what it's like to climb a grand tour mountain stage. I will never cease to be amazed by the spectacle watching riders part the sea of thousands of crazed spectators who are yelling in your ear all the way up the mountain. Watching the moto camera from behind a lone rider climbing a mountain is probably my favourite sports image. It is a beautiful sight. Quite a difference from the recon of the lonely mountain you may have done three months previous.

Pogi’s becoming a legend in his spare time.

Great job, Chris~especially with catching the Pogi details that the Eurosport highlights missed (ie.his anger at being pushed, then giving the bidon to the kid) Hope that frog jumps out in time for tomorrow's report!🐸✊️🦋

Pog is pure class, seems like a genuinely nice kid. Cannot wait to see him race against Jonas, Rog and Remco. Makes me crack up every time Chris says “I can’t do it!”, the Butterfly Effect is the best

Majka has really done an excellent job this tour of Italy, reliable as always. It's almost fascinating that he doesn't make the tour-squad, says a lot about the group of riders UAE will send to France.

Some gritty performances from the Aussies, and great to see your Robbie McEwan signed green jersey hanging up the Chris 🇦🇺👍👊🇮🇹

Not only was Pogacar dominant in this Giro, so was the UAE "B" team he brought with him. Chris understandably gave them knucklehead awards for bringing a sprinter, Juan Molano, and a guy going for top 10 finishes in the time trials, Mikkel Bjerg, plus assorted other strange tactics. But to me this shows this Giro was just well-paid training for Tadej AND Team UAE. We'll soon find out if that was a smart move for them.

Thank you Chris and Garett! You the best cycling Chanel!

20th place for Pozzovivo in his last season at 41 years old. Had there not been Pogačar Pellizzari would've won at least one stage this Giro as well. Nice to see!

Superb insights throughout this Giro. Loved it all ! Thanks

Amazing coverage of this Classic Race; thanks Chris!

What about the stories that this UEA Team is not good enough to support Tadej in his quest for his first Giro!? When we saw last time such a masterful and superior support for team's leading rider as this time!? Bravo Tadej and bravo, bravo TEAM EMIRATES!!! Rafael Majka is true hero!!! 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏✌️✌️✌️🍾🍾🍾

man I truly hope this Pogi situation is "organic" this is monumental in the sport and what a time to witness peak Pogacar!! still have Jonas lingering as his uno card....compelling storyline...Cycling is in a good place right now...i hope

I was there at Monte Grappa yesterday at 14 km, I saw pogacar destroying all other riders. He is really impressive. It was pack full of fans, thousands for sure! An experience that every cycling fan must have!

Utter dominance by Pogacar. Looking forward to TDF!

There were a lot of knucklehead fans today. Stop touching and shoving riders and running alongside. I also hate those smoke bomb things. Can't imagine riders who are breathing heavily, just trying to get some oxygen into the lungs, having to breath that chemical smoke stuff.

Though we all expected this to happen three weeks ago when the Giro started, when Pog actually demonstrated his dominance it was incredible to watch. On this stage, Pog beat the previous best time of Nairo Quintana during the ITT of the 2014 Giro by almost one whole minute. This was after he had already done 130 km, climbed Monte Grappa once before and was paced up the first half of the climb by his teammates, who could obviously only ride at their own comfort level. What he could have achieved under similar circumstances as Quintana, who started fresh and had to climb only once, is truly mind boggling.

Great commentary Chris even with the dreaded lurgy. The locals certainly are an excitable lot. Looking good for a great TDF.

Perfect timing! I just wish Pog had been 4 seconds faster.

I guess the question of UAE understaffing this race has been answered. Pogi managed to scrape by 😛💪

Thank you Chris and Garrett for the hard work and detailed analysis; best in class 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

Chris Horner, is The High Priest of bike racing commentary!

If Tadej wins the Tour there will be a real temptation for him to go for the Vuelta as well

Been great coverage of this Giro. Domination by Pogacar. Looking forward to the lead-up to the TDF.

Danny Martinez did great placing 2nd on GC. Martinez basically got 2nd by riding the coatail of either Ineos or UAE train.

This is the first video I have seen where the narrator points out the riders they are talking about in detail. Great!! Although I would like to see the actual video of the race instead of photos.

Great show Chris as always!! Go Pogi!!!!

G. Thomas looked like he was really struggling & on the absolute limit on that second trip up Monte Grappa🥵

Great commentary. Can't wait to see the tour this year. The only mistake Pogi made was don't wear pink shorts on a wet and grimy stage.

watched the race today on Eurosport but the coverage was in Spanish - My high school Spanish doesn't cut it - - glad I can watch you later for the explanation I can understand. Keep up the good work - Tour of France is next.

Thanks Chris and Garrett...are you OK? You sound a bit... congested ? Be well . Papillon !!

Looking forward to switching things up with Dauphiné and Suisse tours. Thanks for detailed breakdowns! You think he'll come back to Giro any time soon?

Thanks Chris - Nice Job. ! (that's all I got to say about that) miss ya on the River Rides

Chris, why do we almost always see small gaps come together on the descents. Motivations? Thanks for all your explanations and wisdom!!

Utterly amazing,Pogi is.

Tadej very impressive Giro tour win 💪🏼😎👍🏼 Waiting for CH to mention the UAE A team now pressured to deliver Pogi to his 3rd TDF win 😁😎

Without Pogacar, this Giro would have be so boring. We would end up watching staring contest between Thomas vs Martinez for 3 weeks. At least, it's fun to watch Pogacar demolishing his rivals. It's like watching a video game .. Mario Bros..or a bowling ball hitting the pin...then a thrilling chase to catch Pellizari (twice), you know like a handicap race 🤣🤣. He pretty much cherry picked which stage they wanted to win, the entire team executed the plan to the perfection. For B team, UAE certainly is the strongest team. The only GC action (besides Pogacar) worth to watch was just one mountain stage where Martinez dropped Thomas. After that, not much going on between them. Week 3, the GC riders was pretty much riding together to the finish line. Even the final mountain stage failed to bring any spectacle from the rest of the GC. At least last year Giro ended up with a thrilling upset. This year, the organizer failed to create a thrilling ending by putting a stupid long descent after 2x accent. 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀Do they expect a thrilling chase so the riders risking their lives? (i guess they already forgot about Gino).🙄 I'm glad there's no crazy downhill chasing happened. The gap to Pogacar was so big and the gap between Thomas group to Martinez group was so small, so there's nothing to worry about anyone leap frog anyone. It could have been a thrilling ending with Martinez and Tiberi dropped Thomas in the climb ... but it get snuffed out on the descent. Yeah...Anti Climactic.🙄🙄

Pogadcar looks amazing but he would have looked amazing in thw last tour as well if vinegard hadn't been there. So hard for me to know if he is better than ever or he didn't have any rivals. Time will tell. Anxious to see the tour👏

just a reminder in the last three TdF, the 3rd was at more than 7 min, the rest at more than 10 min. Grand Tours right now are just a two men game. And there, they couldn't give it all carelessly because they had to control each other. When there is only one of those two (in top form) at the start, instead of the 3rd/4th, it is the 2nd to be left at 10 min

In recap - Pepa Pog just drop the mic!

This has been like watching a top class international Junior rider taking apart a field of senior 4th cats in a restricted gear event. You know its going to happen as soon as the start sheet hits the door mat.:)

Sounds like you caught a cold or sore throat. Hope you are OK!

Bring on the tour!

UAE did a pretty good job for Pogacar this Giro.

Chris, what do you think Tadej will do between the Giro and the Tour. Any chance he would do Suisse or Dauphine as training?

Calm like a bomb lol

Yesterday's ride by Pog was incredible to watch, and I say this as not a fan of his before this race, but with increasing admiration for what he's achieved and his head gone about it, but what I found even more incredible was the way in which, with the exception of Majka, the UAE domestiques were able to drop the majority of those from other top teams who are not terrible climbers. Love other thing that crossed my mind is why did Ineos let Martinez leave? Who else do they have for Grand Tours apart from possibly Bernal, but even if he could get back to anywhere near his previous form I don't think it's enough, and even if he does I don't see where the support riders are. It was also very odd to see Visma-Leesabike not show anything in this race. I know van Aert was supposed to come but didn't due to injury, and Uijtdebroeks was doing ok until he had the withdraw, especially after what they did last year. So my question is - is this a one off Giro because the Tour is so close and it's Olympic year, or is it that if only one of the superstars, Pog, Rog, or Jonas turn up at a race then we'll see this over and over again, and that the Tour is going to be the only competitive GT, because the top riders will all go to that for their respective teams? I'm not taking anything away from Pog, but I've been really underwhelmed with the racing in this Giro.

Barring an unexpected accident for Tadej Pogacar, Tadej will win The Gyro for 2024 running away. Simply put, Tadej's class was too much for the GC teams. Even with a team that was spoken as "their B squad" the commentator's words not mine, Tadej gave me the impression that he was using this grand tour (Incredible to even contemplate this) as a training session for Le Tour. UAE went all out today, and it was magnificent to watch. Tadej left the contenders in an almost insulting way, wow! If Jonas, Primoz, and Remco come in with their team stacked to the hilt and Tadej bring his strongest team, man the fireworks could be one for the books. I hope Jonas and Wout are at 100% to make this a legendary Tour de France.

Just a gentle reminder, Sepp Kuss has done NOTHING after La Vuelta. The glory of the gifted 🎁 win will haunt. I told you all so. Didn’t I?

Wow, UAE Team Emirates are really fine tuning their act here. I would be nervous facing them in the TDF. Will the other teams be ready?

Almost 10 minuts to nr2! feels like the 90s all over agian. Ouch.

Chris, I'm looking forward to your review of the Giro. Hope that you are honest in your assessment that this was a 3 week training camp for Pogi. Tick all the boxes from his TT form and especially his altitude performance. Unlike those knuckleheads on Eurosport.

Hope he does the triple.

On paper the UAE TdF squad looks pretty amazing with the addition of Yates, Ayuso, Almeida and Soler. But I can see how this might not be as effective as it looks. Too many cooks. Not all second tier GC guys have what it takes to be super domestiques in the mold of Majka or Kuss or Novak.

The intro should rather be: „welcome to the chesterfield effect!“

no attack from julian today ! 20days in pink bravo poggy for 6 stages wins as e mercks , 7 for a demare ,and chippo 42 stages wins merci chris et the butterfly effect team njoylife

Then looking at the Tour de France come July. Pogi has a deluxe gregarios with Almeida, Ayuso and A.Yates. How's that #knucklehead?!

Your voice sounds like you're a bit sick. But you lasted the whole 3 weeks so good job and wishes of good recovery if that is the case.

Why is Thomas always screaming "I can't make it!" in your videos? 😅😂😂 If there's an inside joke I don't get it, but still find it funny. 😂

The cycling meta is who responds the best to ped’s.

Chris 🗣️, on the next Beyond the Coverage, can you please dissect how Ineos' supposedly strong team for the Giro 2024 had zero effect. Jabu from 🇿🇦

MVP : Pogi's whole teammates Best Teammate : Valentin Paret-Peintre as he pulled Geraint Thomas and his teammate Ben O'Connor..

Masterclass 🚴🚴🚴🇵🇭

Bardet and "top 10 favorite" are typically not words that are closely associated.

Is that Rafal Majka Jersey of UAE?

Dani Martinez looked great the entire tour. Ineos shouldn't have let him go...

For all the doping suspicion people i will just say what i have always said about this - if anyone is doping then everyone is, and if everyone is and a more talented cyclist stomps the field you cant just blame the doping, because its a level field. How about just enjoy the superb performances?

So confusing. Even when Pantani was doped beyond reason, he was STRUGGLING, likewise Armstrong. Yet Pogacar crosses the finish line . . . ‘whistling’?

Pogi = 🐐

Easiest Giro ever seen! Must be a Firo. No one besides Tadej Podacar could Make a top 10 in Tour de France. Tiberi a Future Giro Winner.

some of these guys use a low saddle position, I gotta find the sweet spot myself,

😊

Consume local raw honey to develop allergy immunity. Thanks Chris.

Pogacar 10 minutes in front in the fastest Giro ever. Managed by Gianetti. Funded by unlimited money. Climbs while smoking a pipe and riding in his slippers. Many sections of the media not allowed to even discuss it. UCI turning a blind eye. Good people having blind faith. It’s really sad to see doping in cycling again. I say again, but if Riccardo Ricco can be believed, doping never really left cycling

I hope that Vinegar will not participate in the TDF, 'cause if Tadej does better, people will think that it doesn't count because Vinegar was not at its top form; and if Vinegar does better than Tadej, Tadej will fall in depression thinking that he lost to someone not at its top form.

You sound like catching a bad cold and hope you are ok.

Oh no, there goes the Giro, go, go Pogzilla! He blew the whole Giro to pieces. Tested himself, no one else could push him, here.

Thanks Chris , please make a video about why tadi is in another level ? Why nobody can attack him in this giro even one time ? Is there a story behind this ,like armestrong domenance ? I mean is there use of some medications make this performance so high ? I'm big fan of tadi but I want to know what's the difference between tadi and other pro riders from your professional view 💜

I’m sure his clean.

It's great that fans can get so close to the action but I can never understand why fans want to reach out and touch the riders.

TP getting fat off the temporary lack of competition,

Knucklehead count: 1

Eddy junior or Lance junior?

I don’t care about doping so this is certainly not a criticism. But I can’t avoid the comparison between Pog and LA on that iconic Sestriere climb.

What is all this talk about 'feeling all my years' from G? Thats young isnt it? 😂

I watched entire final climb. The whole group was gasping for air and Pogi literally looking like it was a day in the park. He was toying with them. Really weak competition. Tour will be different but can’t see him getting beat. Remco will have the best shot with JV not in top form

for DOG's sake, "last and final" are the same freakin thing!

Jonas destroys legend of Tadej Pogacar.

My dream is that team INEOS is going to attack from the start on stage 21, do a TT for Thomas from start to finish, and take out 12 minutes on Pog. Then G Thomas will be the winner of the Giro. I am praying to my God Primoz Roglic that this is how the last stage will play out.

He's not even breaking a sweat, and with this kind of domination? Sorry, this doesn't feel right and we've seen it before I'm afraid. He wins 6 stages with almost 10min win overall? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...

The most boring giro I can remember. So glad it ends today.

Pogačar, the King of Cycling!

greatest training camp of all time!
