Tadej Pogacar LAUGHS at Wout van Aert TANTRUM | Tour de France 2023 Stage 2 

Like 2 Classics the first 2 stages. Beats a 12k prologue anyday.

That was a closing kilometer for the ages by Lafay. Perfectly patient, then a perfectly timed move. It could have gone either way up to the very last moment. This year's race is shaping up nicely so far.

Pogacar is a mega chad. Never looks unhappy on the bike, even when he lost last year.

What an absolute dream for the TDF sponsors. Netflix show brings in a bunch of new eyes and then the first 2 stages are first class. Can't wait for the rest of the race!

🧨These two opening stages have been BANGERZ. Really happy for Lafay!

Props to Lafay !! That was an absolute robbery. Would love to see the netflix cameras on the Jumbo team bus after that.

So…yesterday we had the first sibling 1-2 since Andy and Fränk Schleck, and today we’ve had the first Cofidis stage victory since Sylvain Chavanel in 2008? My childhood is returning…my time machine works!!! 😂

the thing i liked the most about his win is that Lafay NEVER looked back. Pure commitment, and just checking for the gap could have costed him the win.

Really impressive storytelling (as always). I love how you edited in the footage of the medical car blocking the Jumbo car.

The flat from Jonas and some others were created by someone that threw pushpins on the road. Approximately 40 riders had a flat after this passage 40 km from the finish

Lafay's move was perfect. He waited for the occasion, observed for a second, then went for it. No hesitation. Pure masteclass

Love your insightful recaps, I learn a lot that i didnt even realize during the livestream, thanks

These recaps are simply the best. Love watching them even after seeing the coverage. Thanks!

Furious Wout is good for TDF. He is gonna go thermonuclear very soon. He might end up destroying Jonas as well in the process 😂

1 option for JV would have been like sprint teams often do: let Bilbao in the wind an give him +-15s and close the gap on the lets say last 2km. Because then no other guy would attack with 1 guy still 15-20s ahead. and second they could have saved the legs for a better lead out.

Chapeau to Lafay and to Cofidis for breaking their drought. The first two stages of the Tour have been more exciting than the entire Giro. That is largely due to the fact that Pog and Jonas are so evenly matched. If one or the other was not there or in top form, it probably would have been pretty much boring.

this tour gets really exiting really early

Wow, what a recap! You pick up on so much that goes unnoticed at first and really pulled us into that one

This is what the JV teamleader had to say about the final km to Dutch media: "If anyone made a mistake with us today, please attribute it to me. The moment Lafay pulled away, I made the call that Jonas shouldn't pull. And that his focus should be to get into the wheel of Pogacar. In retrospect you might say Jonas could have done some work, but I was convinced that Wilco and Tiesj could close the gap with Lafay. Unfortunately, that didn't work out."

i really look forward to your videos like this, so well done, thanks

Props to Tadej. At 5:19 when he flicked Jonas, but Jonas didn't bite... Tadej didn't make a big deal of it, like be upset and stuff. Pro move.

Can you please show the GC standings in the end of the videos

Amazing video , great break down , thank you , your videos always make my day , thanks very much ❤ 🚲

I was there on the final corner in san seb, lafay went around so quickly that the camera blurred out us in the crowd behind him on the corner lol. Awesome being there for an amazing finish. Great experience, especially for my first TDF stage in person.

A memorable stage for what did happen and maybe more so for what did not. Thanks for the good recap as well.

Surely mohoric or pidcock condendors for best descender in the world

Rafał Majka was in absolute beast mode for me :D

You have become the single best in-depth commentator in cycling. Impressive and humbling to see how far you've come, mate. Noone does it better.

Love the public, lanscapes, and, yes, the riders feeling at home with the passion of the aficionados.

I now remembered Pogacar sarcastically thanking Wout during cooldown for dropping Jonas after S4 last year. Now this. Really dig this developing subplot beyond the Jonas/Pogacar rivalry.

Thanks! I needed this.

Lafay looks like he just woke up

Pogacar reenacting Wout's tantrum to A. Yates and the laughing and shaking heads is hysterical!!!!!!

Loving the Tour so far

I saw this finish yesterday, but was unaware of all the activity that took place before. I had a feeling the winning attack was golden at the time I saw it made. It was perfectly executed and the dude obviously has a great motor. Viva!

very insightful. thank-you.

Loving the coverage this year! ❤

07:41 Pogi is an actor too!!! 😄😄😄

Adam rode into the last climb, because Pogo and him wanted to give Simon Yates the bonus seconds. When Pogo noticed, that Simon didn't have the punch for it and Vingegaard would claim the 8 secs, he went for it.

Landa most hydrated rider in the peloton

Pogacar is the funniest cyclist i ever seen. I love to see him all the time,no matter he wins or loss.!

Nice race commentary. Subscribed!

I love your breakdowns.

Tadej ALWAYS smiles (and dancing and rapper 😄) winning or losing, he really enjoy riding, it's like a videogames for him. A happy person.

great stuff man keep it up

Brilliant commentary as ever... Bonies!

Really amazing pog!

LOL @ the nature break footage! :> great job LR!

Absolute textbook attack by Lafay. Flawless.

Lafay attacked like a lighting! Wow 😮

Perfectly timed attack from Lafay, what a move! Those rarely work at the flamme rouge, especially in the TdF. Awesome! Now Team Cofidis needs to get the lad to the mobile Alpecin barber caravan...

van Aert did a lot of work in the final kms though.

Landa, just chilling!!!

The first 2 stage winners of this tour couldn’t be more wholesome.

Adam 'Jates' XD Love the content though keep it coming!!

awesome recap as usual.

Brilliant sling launch by Lafay from a hidden side spot.15 years since Cofidis won a stage!!!!!

I didnt catch the Pogacar laughing at Wout but that was hilarious how he was talking to Adam and showing how he displayed his anger lmao 🤣🤣 Pogacar taking the piss at Jumbo Visma.

great work Laterne Rouge...

Extremely well done Lafay, congrats:)

Pout van Aert - that was supposed to be MY stage.

Mate I love your comment and your videos, thank you. But you could consider lowering the cadence of the commentary, I have to go back in time multiple times along the video to understand the sentences/ideas you're trying to convey...

thank you!

Thank you

Great commentary!

Loving this

Such a great channel

What's blurred at 1:12? Lol

Jonas refusing to break with Pog in both stages so far, just wants to stay on the wheel.

UAE just looks like a fun team to be around with. Hope they crush everybody this year 😂

Majka in the poolside shades with the gradient tint. Nice style!

Gotta say, this synopsis is better than GCN's. Well done.

Great finish. Im glad someone beat jumbo, they were so many of them and none were willing to race. I like their team, I was rooting for them last year, but man they really aren't racing so far. Edit: also what's up with all the flats. I've never seen that many riders get flats in such a short amount of time. Aren't they also riding much wider tires, doesn't make sense.

Excellent recap

really killed it with the video title haha

I didn't know Cofidis was still around. Last time i heard of them was in the 90s.

The invisible bidon! 😂😂

I think that Jonas (and Jumbo Visma's racing director, it's fair to underline) didn't pull for Wout not really to save energy (200m aren't too much of an effort if you think about it), but because doing the lead out in front of a sprint exposes you to the risk of some crashes, and it will definitely tear in pieces months and months of preparation.

Tour is on fire an im glad to see uae dominating. After last tdf where jumbo killed everything, this year it seems to not be the case

1:13 lol My first thought was what are they looking at.

that 1k send was glorious

Can anyone fill in on what was going on in UAE today? Berg was seriously pissed at one point, and it seems there was some discord in the team about something.

It’s a race, aside from tt and stage 17, for bonus secs Where are bonus lines stage 3 and 4?

Brilliant stage! Can’t believe that French kid just unloading like that 1000 meters from the line and holding off the best riders in the world. This guy has seemingly come out of nowhere. Can he podium? Prolly not but who knows?

Is Bilbao a better descender than piddock?

It was clear Jumbo was targeting this stage. They came to the front many times. Huge chance of winning the stage through WVA if Jonas gave a pedal for his teammate. Anyway I'm happy for Lafay and seeing this I have one more reason to root for Pogacar and appreciate Roglic more, but it's a shame... I feel sorry for WVA

What was blurred out around 1:10?

Is it just me, or does Patrick keep saying "J-ates" instead of Yates? 😅

insane vid

Brilliant attack from Lafay, outfoxed everyone. Victor Lafay? Victor l'a fait!

Threw his bottle down? Did that happen off camera? WVA clearly didnt have a bottle in his hand when he crossed the line. Whats Pogacar goin on about? Vingo is gonna need Van Aerts help. He didnt do himself any favors not taking a pull.

Nothing better than LR no context Landa content 😂

Beautiful vintage Thomas voeckler style attack

Does anyone know the speed LaFay was going when he pulled that final attack/win?

Belgium been on a mental today with wanting Jonas to be a leadout while going for the tour win

The stage thankfully had too many action packed moments for LR to dwell on the amazing video and background sound effects track we had of cows grazing during one of the quieter periods of the stage coverage!

I think that UAE was trying to put Simon into the yelpow jersey. They wouldn't have to work and the brother of Adam would have got the jersey. Pog only sprinted when Jonas tried to get get the seconds...

Tug buddies are back!

Well, I don't think Pogacar was laughing at Wout van Aert. He was making fun of Wout van Aert's overreacting to his second place! 😛 It's only stage 2 of a 3 week Tour de France. It's far too early but Jumbo Visma was said to have the better team than UAE. But at the moment it looks like UAE is the better team! Cofidis on the other hand had to wait for an astonishing 15 years until the next victory at the Tour de France. And no there wasn't any hesitation by Jumbo Visma - Lafay's attack was simply too strong and Jumbo Visma couldn't react any more! 😇

Should Jonas have pulled with Pogi? Maybe (Michael Rasmussen seems to think so when reading his column in Ekstra Bladet). While Pogi beats Jonas in a sprint like that 99 times out of 100, he'd only lose four seconds - which he did anyway - and maybe push Pogi into yellow, meaning daily doping tests and press talks, while Jonas can spend a little more time recovering. Should Jonas have pulled for Wout? Nope. Yellow > stages and/or green. If Jumbo wants Jonas to work for Wout, enter Jonas into races where Wout is the natural choice for captain. I'm sure Jonas would happily work for Wout under those circumstances.
