Roglič DESTROYS Egan Bernal on Covadonga Climb | Vuelta a España Stage 17 2021 

I think they believe this kind of coverage would be too difficult for the average viewer to understand.

I mean it is literally his job now...

Second to none!!!!

@@rocketpig1914 Indeed. It’s not that they can’t, it’s that they chose not to

Chris horner and lr are the best youtube channels i only watch eurosport when i miss the race because they are the first to upload

You’re 💯 right. Bernal was beyond classy...I was very moved by his remarks. A true chanpion

Yeah the willpower and mental strength of Primoz are amazing. I have mad respect for him

Agree, as a Roglic fan his Olympic TT win was a huge statement of his willpower and ability.

Roglic is so likeable. If he was ten years younger, who knows what he could accomplish, he's still a beast

@@Shadowboost 'If he was ten years younger' - in a way you can see what a young Rog would be like in watching Pogacar

Roglic is underrated. Roglic>Pogacar

I’m jealous. My mountain bike racing career got cut short when I developed ME/CFS (like long haul covid) when I was 23 (in 1993). I miss being able to put the hammer down. Keep going man. Pretty soon it will be 2nds and 3rds and then wins.

@@keirfarnum6811 Yikes, very sorry to hear that. Mine is certainly not a "career". I'm a 50yo retired triathlete who now dabbles a bit in gravel and mountain bike races for fun.

Liege was great but I just can't get past the fact that he doesn't win without LouLou's colossal blunder (which I don't view as a controversy). But I really like Roglic and just wish he'd come to the sport younger.

I as a Belgian am sick of people saying Roglic shouldve pulled for WVA. Its a nations competition, Roglic didnt have to do anything just focus on himself. I do still think the other guys couldve paced more to bring back Alaphilippe but both Alaphilippe and WVA wouldve probably beat all the other riders in that chasing group so chasing after Alaphillipe wouldve been a dumb movebc it would cost them strength they could use for a sprint for bronze. It was a frustrating world championship as a Belgian since a WVA win was definitely possible but you cant expect other nations to help you get the gold.

I agree with you I'm a newer fan of the sport and only watched the races starting with the Giro, back then there's only so little I know about how the entire thing works but now that I have a pretty firm grasp of everything I I give mad respect to Egan. Looking forward to support him throughout his career

True, to me at the end of this vuelta , i will have much more respect for bernal who is not happy about not winning and tries to shake up things than all the other riders who ride deffensively for a top 5

“than we saw over the entire Giro” totally agree with you, but had we seen more of Passo Giau we might feel differently about the character he’s shown this year.

@@alanpride5884 tottaly agree with you, the giau stage coverage was a f***img shame!

As he got zero second on his closest competitors, it will matter how he responds. If he cracks in the next two days and slips in the standings then this effort will be a colossal mistake. If he retains his non-podium spot it will be a push. If he can replicate this effort and climb up to third (like he was in the virtual standings if he kept Roglic's wheel) then yes, this was a good move. But I'd give him 1:3 odds this will not be a good stage for him moving forward. I agree we can salute his performance but what he does with it over the next couple days will make this stage a win or a loss for him.

Well well well, today we saw disc brake win. 😛

80ks solo while having asthma. 🤣🧐

Majka went solo for close to 90 the other day. But he was low on GC…

Bernal has plenty of time in his career to write one of those epics. It's nice to see he has developed a taste for the dramatic.

It's nice eh

it was super hard but super nice eh?

the sauce picture in the power data perfectly sums it up. (obv they are all on it)

Well I hear Pog wants to ride Giro next year. And Pog Rog battle is sooooo confusing for cycling fans in Slovenia :D

If there clean yes but no one can tell me pogcar isn't doping

@@neilberry1552 can you name anyone who is clean in this sport?

@@11-inch Sam Bennett Dan Martin Eddie Dunbar I'd also say alaphillipe. I'm sure there's others. But if that's your argument just because some are others shouldn't follow or should it be allowed or ignored. Me personally have a zero tolerance policy towards drugs and I'd ban anyone for life if it regarded doping. Armstrong destroyed the sport

@@neilberry1552 Really, Armstrong destroyed the sport?! First of all, all of Armstrongs competitors took everything they took. Armstrong won the Tour because he was riding up mountains in the Alps and the Pyrenees in December, January & February. While Ullrich was at home in Rostock watching the telly and drinking beer. Because of the early 2000's there was finally a real fight from the UCI towards doping. So, in a way, it was actually Armstrong who helped making professional cycling a lot cleaner. He still became 3rd in the Tour without any PED's and on a very respectable age. Don't forget that all the other big riders before them all took doping as well (Merckx, LeMond, Indurain, Riis to name a few). To later find out that the UCI is not consequent. Contador got stripped and banned. Valverde got banned for admitting that he wanted to take doping during his Illes Balears time. But what did Wiggins and Dopey get?! Oh wait, nothing at all! I guess that you are Irish, well your fellow Anglosaxons from the east of your beautiful country couldn't care less. I bet that the whole UK team with all the money is also doing some very 'sophisticated' program. Look at how Dopey is riding now, since his move to Israel. He is nothing anymore. Even the helpers like Wout Poels are not as good as they were in their Sky/Ineos times. Probably not just because they got older. But hey, keep dreaming in a clean sport (not gonna happen as long as money rules :-( maybe someday it will really be clean and everybody who is stupid enough to take some dope will get stripped with at least 2 years back and a ban for 5 years. Then you can come back in the semi-pro peloton like Davide Rebellin (one person I do have respect for as he clearly loves the sport, he was just unlucky that he drove around in a world where you simply had to take dope)

Too much expectation on Kuss but the condor showed who is best. Kuss does not have the watts

really, Rogue, plz don't stop doing them!

LR along with Chris Horner 👌

Watch Cris horner

Am I the only one frustrated by it? In a sport filled with doping these superhuman performances this year by the 2 Slovenian riders is a bit beyond the pale and hard to root for 🤷‍♂️

Roglic flaunting his EPO use. Kinda sad.

@@Sampsonoff ...funny statement. Roglič is riding for a Dutch team and Pogačar for UAE (Italian) team... Or you wanted to say, that both have hidden stuff (brought from home like uranium tablets :-)) ) and the rest of peloton is clean? I believe they are as clean as the rest of peloton.

@@Sampsonoff they are all on the juice, LR even pasted the sauce bottle in the power data..

I think a fully healthy Bernal can compete on that level next year

That has already happened, Bernal quited and pogacha beat Roglic 🤷‍♂️

@@inspktr51 Bernal had already his backache

Pogastrong more like. Not even breaking sweat climbing last years tour

Maybe with Valverde

many philosophers and physicians would disagree.

Yes, but new generation is also coming and could displace Pogačar soon in the future and Roglič will start to feel his age (or maybe because he came to the sport late his "material" in not worn-out. )

İ think he can be a gc contender for big tours

where can I find it plz

its not controlle power but was totally unfair....suck the wheel and never made a change for just a brief relay....only wait for the moment to change gears at the last climb for the back....

yeah, but at least the road rash isn't as bad :/

@@iansteelmathesonVery true.

For nr 2 i do not think he will lose time on stage 19 maybe 18 and jumbo looks strong enough to control stage 20 so i would say he will hold off the rest of the field.

I would say calling stage 18 "hilly" is a huge understatement

he won liege last year

True, it would be an epic battle.

bernal won the giro? he didnt go tour?

Bernal would have been thinking. WTF.

happens to me every ride :)

More painful than a sudden attack, especially if you linger for a bit just out of reach.
