The Steepest Finish in Pro Cycling's 1 Day Calendar | La Flèche Wallonne 2022 

Hell yeah this is my proudest comment yet !

Lmfao

Yeah valverde is very dope

@@finns7061 nah you did him dirty😵😵

Probably one of the easier videos to make quickly, because it is almost enough to show the last km, but still reaöly fast upload

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I hoped for more action on the second last climb, as it was only around 6km from the mur, but unfortunately a cofidis and ska meme attack was everything😔

The climbs just aren't long enough to create real separation

It's probably a bit too short and the climbs just aren't quite hard enough

It's a really short climb. Impossible to put 30s on the peloton. And there is a 20km flat section before the last climb so the main group easily catches up.

I don't know, but I never watch more than the last 10-15km. that's all you ever need to see. and imo.... that's okay.

@@dpcater Dan that is so disrespectful. You have no evidences to say that. Puerto was 10 years ago!

@@dididubalier2196 And he's still cheating now, like so many other top favorites. Just look at who Movistar's doctor is lol.

He is good ,but the finish also suits him very well

So true😂

dude needs to do some core work sheeeesh

He's like a mini Colbrelli.

Because of this comment I had to hit the rewind button and watch LR's 2021 Flèche Wallonne highlights because I remembered seeing a certain Quickstep rider having what appeared to be multiple seizures on the Mur, and yep, Vansevenant, absolutely thrashing about like a fur seal stuck in the jaws of a killer whale.

'Eats.'

His team set him up perfectly, except that he wasn't in there wheels. Woods is always out of position at the bottom of Huy and then makes up 20-30 positions to end up in the top 6. Problem is most of all his own. He isn't good at positioning. They actually had a train with Fugl in 2nd wheel and Woods in Fugl his wheel somewhere within 2km to go and 1 shot later Woods is no longer in Fugl his wheel...

@@draregrevtaam1147 thanks for correcting me. I couldn’t make out what was going on in the peloton. It’s too bad he lost the wheel

To be fair Teuns was the only one of his team on the last climb :p

@@draregrevtaam1147 exactly, if you watch - woods is not in shot when the rest go and then he has to use all his energy to get past people. If he had better positioning and was at the front - I predict he would would have won. I mean check his positioning at @4:00 he is way behind the guys who finished in front of him. Pity because I wanted a win from him

honestly, ISN has the worst bikes and their discs are rubbing, shame.

As he did in the Brabantse Pijl.

He wasn't planning on going to the end in Roubaix anyways, he only rode Roubaix so that the team had enough riders. Got off after Wallers to save himself for the Ardennes classics.

Different times now, he coulda had 8-10 of these lmao

Look at 2:38 Pogs race is done too

Quick boi

But it's sunny at the end of April? Yes, welcome in Belgium :D

It ain't the Tour Down Under.

it's obvious,nobody's a robot

Mas magic potion por favor

I believe the quickstep guy was just marking the attack but knew it wouldn't go anywhere and his job was to get Alaphilippe to win, so he had no gain in helping another rider in a weak breakaway that wasn't gonna win anything

It's all tactics, and why exactly changes depending on the situation (plus it can always be a bluff). In this case the Qstep rider is playing a defensive role for his leader and team, not trying to win for himself. His job is to make sure his team has a rider in this breakaway group just in case it gets dangerous, but not to actively contribute to anything that would make it harder for the Qstep leader for this race (ala) to be in a winnable position at the end.

Thank you Francois and Hazmat!!

What’s that?

Oh please. He finished 7 seconds behind Teuns. This is a one-day race. The Tour is 3 weeks long. The Mur De Huy is a very steep and short climb, compared to the 10km climbs of lesser gradients they tackle in the Tour, where UAE's mountain domestiques will really assist him and his ability to recover will come into play. Also, the Tour also has time trials, which Pogacar excels at when compared to other GC/yellow jersey candidates. There is even a 40 km time trial towards the end which is on the long side compared to general TT length which will mean pure climbers and puncheurs will lose loads of time. He will be Top 3, barring a crash or illness and I'd put money on him to win if the odds weren't so short.

@@robotomassi2011 Every second counts in the Tour de France in this day and age and Tadej is going to lose seconds on the steepest ascents.

@@mrichards55 Maybe, though he did win by 5 minutes last year! I sure hope it is closer.

@@mrichards55 you can't compare 1 day stages with the tour. it's like apples and oranges. specifically this one. also pogacar literally finsishes top 5 any race he enters this year if everything goes normal despite this one. saying this was a "weakness" in the steepest climb, which isn't his absolute forté is sipmly telling me you have no idea what ur talking about LUL roglic is acutally stronger on such a climb for example. going full gas for 2-3 minutes is not the same as riding 40 minute climbs 3 times a day.

Pogacar always make sure he's 'glowing' his brightest for the Tour.

I managed to get bored in 6 minutes despite the good commentary lmao Was that racing ?

And that's exactly why LR pronounces in French.

@@smeetsnoud1 SYYMÖOON CEEEAAAAARRRŔ

@@dpcater in no way is the name said at the start of the video in the context of any banter. Perhaps you want to correct your comment.
