And he was, as it turned out!
waiting for pre race interview where Pogi will say how he's going to race and actually do it
I think the other teams are waiting too 😂.
🦋👊
He will make his team do a hard race and attack on la Redoute. Write it down.
He already said for slovenian media that his team is going to be putting a hard tempo on the mountains because him and mvdp have 10 kg difference and that should be noticeable on this race.
@@kingjasko that is absolutely true. MVDP is rolling the dice here. Pogacar likely to ensure he never gets to take his turn. It’ll be a brutal race.
Chris, I’m going to be sat on the Chesterfield all day Sunday to watch Pog smash LBL 💪 👊
🛋️🔥🦋👊🏠
You just know Tadej coming out to make a statement again. The only issue is can he be patient to deliver his vicious attack at the right time and place…
I almost said that we better be prepared to see Pog go further out then Remco did last year just to prove a point 😂🦋👊
If Pogi gets a 30-second gap, I hope the others work together instead of racing for second place. Cheers.
Yup, but that happens when the chasers ride for the win and not for a podium place.
I just hope Pogi doesnt crash or have an accident, he has a real shot to win Giro and TDF and potentially try La Vuelta with Vingegaard injured, it is a perfect opportunity to do the unprecedented, not that I am happy Vingegaard got injured, not at all as there is lacking competition without him
🤞🦋
No Vuelta, he wants the World Championships
Pogacar certainly looks like he is in for a great season, I haven't looked at the calendar, but I assume the Olympics are not long after the tour. Where we should see Roglic and Pogacar on the same team with one of my favourite riders Tratnik.
A si Slovenec?
Two weeks after give or take if I remember correctly. 🤔🦋👊
Can even add Mohoric to that list
Tadej won’t be racing at the olympics, i think mohoric will be.
The weather could change everything
That is 100% true. Every thing could change if it gets really bad 🥶⛈️🌪️🌨️👊🦋
Its going to be a Pog summer 🌞
👊🦋
Hoping MVdP wins, love it when Pog & Matthieu are racing together
👊🦋🔥
I would be happier if some other rider wins. Can you imagine the emotions if someone not named mvdp or pog were to win?
Given the weather forecast and what's happened this year, I just hope we don't see any crashes at LBL.
🤞🦋
Uae need to be in front. Avoid drawn into crashes
Great job Chris ♥️
👊🦋
Always have to watch to see what jersey you pull out! This combo is one of my favorites🇺🇸
You’re insights on the peloton have helped me become a much bigger fan. Thank you sir ! 👊🦋
Excellent insight as always. Thank you
👊🦋
Thanks, Chris!
👊🦋
I'm sooo looking forward to watching this race, to see just how good Tadej is and if anyone can keep up with him. What cracking 2024 the young Slovenian potentially might have,
👊🔥🦋
Well what did the two best cyclists of the moment say after the race.
1: MvdP: never felt he was into it for a victory, before the race he said it was difficult to maintain the shape of Roubaix into AGR and LBL. Afterwards he said that his legs surely were not as good as in PR and Ronde van Vlaanderen. But even WITH these legs he would not have been able to beat Tadej.
2. TP: basically he really felt miserable the first part due to the cold. On Baraque Fraiture where they needed to pass the trees were covered in snow and it was barely above freezing. Otherwise he basically he said everything was done with his deceased MIL in mind.
MvdP did say that next year they might do things very differently. When asked what he meant and if he would focus more on LBL he said sure, but it could also go the complete other way in that he would not ride in LBL at all.
On Dutch TV when asked what he was going to do after his vacation he said it was unclear yet but he would tell us somewhere next week.
So the season has ended. The endresult is that MvdP clearly was the best this first part of the season with two monuments won, one classic won, a second place in another classic and a third place in LBL. No one comes remotely close.
Tadej did very well with one monuments and winning Strade, but he decided to ride less than MvdP.
I would add that without Wout and Remco and may be Roglic in LBL, this season was seriously hampered and less interesting. We just saw two guys just being lightyears ahead of others in the races that suite them. Each time when one went, the result was clear within minutes after their acceleration.
I LOVE KLODEN...chris I enjoy your videos every morning (if you post one (offseason))... 5 am... 6 am... I start every day of my life watching you... beast moments of my day... please july 19 is my birthday... i understan what is our channel for... love U :*:*:*:*... please do some kloden staff from your memories about klodi... is it too stupid for me to ask you?)))) we want more of your perosonal expirience in the peloton... people are people, what was it like in peloton???
I got great Koldi stories. I can do that for you. 🦋👊
Pog and MvdP are the page 1 riders, Pidcock and Williams are 2nd page, any others on it? Just wondering if there are enough to make a challenge if they work together like last race. Is it Pogi is in it so it’s a done deal on this one? He has to be thinking of what happened last year which affected his TdF prep and cost him so much on the first week. Surely a training run is in order on this one.
Certainly USA have to stay together and not split their up and the wrong moments early into the race plenty of page two riders showing up here at LBL. Don’t forget Tom Pidcock. 🤔🦋👊
@2:21 : Magical advice ! 😅
Hoping the race going to be exciting and no solo win
I don't want to watch Pog do a long solo again. Hoping for a tight race to finish classics season!
Me too. 🤞🦋
Same. I was so looking forward to the rest of the season but with Jonas, Wout, Primoz, and Remco injured I think it’s going to be a snooze fest. Hope I’m wrong.
I have learned a lot about tactics thanks for explaining everything so clearly
👊🦋
I love how the new rendering settings make your bald head all wobbly ❤
😂🦋👊
Chris Best Analysis EVER! Could you please do an injury update on the 5 top riders on the FIRST page! You are awesome for us former racers!!!
I almost picked that topic for today but I wanted to get LBL preview out before it’s too late. But yes I will 👊🦋
Good evening Chris.....Untouchable...not really...nobody is....we all saw what happened last Wednesday where just about all top favorites didn't even make it to the finish....he (and his team!) most definitely is the man to beat!!!
Don’t forget Stage 11 2022 TdF. We all know it can happen even to Pog but no one will bet their house against him. 🤪🦋👊🏠
You can always count on the favorites but this year has been full of surprises,not to mention wrecks,so anyone has a chance besides Tadje.
Pogi likes the cold
As does MVP
@@cyclepath55555 pog loves rain too he wins grand tour summit finishes in snow and sleet thats why hes so at home in say a flanders or E3. Mathieu is best outright racer ive eer seen reminds me of devlaemick but amstel was whatever hes a bigger guy big horsepower he will stay warm fact that tadej does as skinny yet powerful o flats and elite GT climber edge goes to Tadej. VDP should be only that can beat him as sprint finish if he can hold on but two big climbs before redoutte and cote de roche going to be hard look at how he distanced him on kwaremont kast flanders it was full gas and go on longest climb.
Skjelmose if on good day I think can hang on climbs maybe better than any other he did great in worlds last year whih was basically a crit course lol perfect for VDp like E3 or Flanders. But if VD isnt in finnal group tadej outsprinted mads in MSR hes just incredible all around. I wished they rode together they have remarkable respect for each other as they are each others only nemesis that on certain route profile they will each acknnowledge other is superior and each are uber connfident once a generation talents. CHeers enjoy LBL chapeau forza, vamos
Pogi likes disaster stage like in La Fleche Wallone last Wednesday 🌬️ 🥶❄️
True that 👊🦋
UAE were dressed in all the things, including some very warm looking neoprene gloves, during their recon video posted today, so I would think they aren't going to make that mistake again.
I bet they were . 🤪👊🦋
Chris! All the good stuff lately. And CHESTERFIELD... I was listening to a station that played some old Barenaked Ladies the other day and their song If I Had a Million Dollars mentions.... the Chesterfield!!!!! So all you folks who never heard it, well, we know they say it in Oregon, and Canada. 🛋️😉👍🛋️
BNL were pointing out elitism. A chesterfield is just a high-end $1000+ sofa.
@@user-ns1ir4uf1r hi steve... I was just being goofy and pointing out that it appears in a song! 😋🤷 a chesterfield can also be a beat up old hand-me-down sofa - LOL!

How about the Olympics/ I haven't heard you talk about that. How does that fit into everybody's season?
I could say about Pogačar… the Olympic course doesn’t suit him, he will be more focused on the WC, rainbow jersey is one of his big goals of the season.
I am a bit scared on the Olympics personally m. But I will do a video one of these days on it. 🦋👍
Pogi is the goat
Peacock now with "beyond the podium". Flattery and emulation from a crew that doesn't know what they are doing and with commentary so bad it requires muting. Chapeau to you Chris Horner for being the top cycling strategist and commentator
Early attack from Pogacar, van der Poel follows, they work together and while rest fights for third they gain minutes, I mean minutes. With 20k to go it will be a duel, if van der Poel can follow he will win, more likely Pogacar will drop him and win with 30 seconds on him but many minutes on the rest
Eganito! Bernal is great is crummy weather, I don't count him out to podium.
I would love to see that!
I totally forgot to add Egan into the video after I saw he was on the start list. Let’s hope Egan is 100% Egan again. 👊🦋💪🔥🤞
Really just hoping for a fun one day race to watch with LBL. Amstel Gold was arguably the most interesting race to watch this season so far.
👊🦋
Well, I thought it might be tighter. Guess he was unstoppable/untouchable.
ugh, i miss evenepoel. the races last 2 weeks would have been so much better.
We all do. What are the odds that both miss each on two separate occasions for the same race. And swap out taking turns missing LBL. And remember Pog actually start LBL last year, well officially started it. 🥲🦋🔥
What is the difference between a Monument and a Classic?
there are just 5 monuments....and a lot more classics....main difference is the age of the race....
There are 5 recognised monuments: MSR, RVV, PR, LBL, Lombardia. All 5 have lengths longer than other similar races (E3 = 210km, RVV = 270km; Flèche = 200km, LBL = 254km). And they have more history than other classics. Another reason is circular: Race is a monument --> race attracts better riders --> more spectacular and historic race.
Each monument has its particularity
1. MSR: very long (almost 300km)
2. RVV: short steep cobbled climbs (way more than other cobbled classics, and closer to the finish)
3. PR: Hard cobble sectors
4. LBL: short steep category 3 hills all over
5. Lombardia: season-end, and only one-day proper mountain race
And the places where riders pass are iconic: Milan, Cipressa, Poggio; Bruges/Antwerp, Oude Kwaremont, Koppenberg; Compiègne (end of WW1), Arenberg, Carrefour de l'Arbre, Roubaix Velodrome; Ardennes (~ Battle of the Bulge '45), Stockeu (Eddy Merckx monument), Rédoute (battle hill in French-Austrian War, 1794); Bergamo Alta/Lake Como, Madonna del Ghisallo
@@mumblerapkilla5406 not entirely true....races like Paris-Tours and Gent -Wevelgem are just as long as the monuments....Paris-Tours is about as old as well....somehow these races are being considered less important nowadays...that would explain the lesser level of riders participating....
@@pauljansen1137 The final climb in Gent-Wevelgem is 35 km from the finish, and there are less climbs, and it doesn't even start in Ghent
@@mumblerapkilla5406 As if Paris-Roubaix starts in Paris.....my point was that the main argument for a race to be a monument is the age of the race.....but it's the history that makes it a monument above all other arguments...
Good final tune up for the Giro for Pog. I expect Pog to smash everyone, this is his year
lol, yeah cause everyone who is any competition for him is injured. Sorry, I just can't take any of his wins seriously this season now that so many big riders are out.
💪🦋
The greatest spectacle will be MVDP sticking to Pogi to the run in as the tension will increase. It is not a given at the end of 255km that MVDP even beats Pogacar in the sprint. Throw Pidcock in and we have a race but we need no other UAE rider in the final selection.
Or Pogacar attack’s exactly where Remco did but rides it in quicker than Remco - that would be a statement!
Thumbs up 😁
👍🦋
Never know, weather, bad day, crash, VDP, break.aways, other rufers habing a freat day, never know Chris
If weather goes bad you never know. And who knows how UAE decide to race it. That’s why we are going to watch 🤞🦋👊
If a Hirschi or so moves along in the breakaway, it would be interesting to watch the bunch on la redoute. What knuckleheads would attack with pogi on the wheel and Hirschi up front?
Stephen Williams was unreal
Smart rider!!!
👊🦋💪
mvdp aint getting away from pogacar thats for sure. he can only hope to spring it out with em at the finish. have a feeling pogi aint gonna leave to the sprint
🤞🦋🔥
Pog to attack with 160km to go this time 😂. Will be interesting to see how Bernal goes as he's apparently down to start
😂🦋🤪👊💪🔥
I'm going to make a prediction....Pog will attempt the 3 grand tours this year 😊😊
I hope weather doesn't ruin this race...
Imagine if he wins this, giro, TDF and la vuelta?
Flowgaçar's comming
Chris Horner: "POGAČAR Might be UNTOUCHABLE at LBL"
The KEYWORD here is . . . MIGHT!
Exactly might 😊..... certainly the terrain suits him more than MVP but MVP is capable of almost everything....TdF?😅😅.... anyway I hope that POGI wins but I suspect that MVP would like to revange Flanders on the terrain of POGI, what do u 🤔🤔...
Pogi nuked him on a race with 2000 meters less elevation in RVV last year, there is only one winner in that duel
It’s never over until the…… never mind. Until Pog shows up, is the new saying now. 😂🦋👊
It's not only about dressing properly, but also about eating properly. If you don't dress properly you will have to eat a ton more in order to maintain the correct level of energy. If not, you cannot survive in such a monstruous race like LBL, especially with the weather forecast for this Sunday.
Lots of calories will be needed for sure but you can survive in the rain with a lot less water. 🤔🦋👊
My podium 1. Pogi 2. MVDP 3. Bernal but really want MVDP to win
MVDP very much a longshot here, but will be fun to watch him in a big one day where he isn't expected to win.
👍🦋
Tadej is going to break a leg. Break a leg Tadej!
🍗🦵🔥🦋👊
😎Predictor - I can't say Pogi will attack maybe more or less 40k to the finish. But if he's saying he's in good condition going for LBL, it is going to be exciting how far he will attack 😅
💪🦋👍
I think the Odds are on Pogačar to win all three LBL, Giro and tour....
And dont forget Vuelta and Olympics
I have not forgotten 🔥🦋👊
Looks like I’ll have to wait and see how properly dressed uae team is before dropping my bet on pog😅
Good decision 🤔🦋👊
I hope not..! Should be somebody 🚴, brave!! To who fights for victory!! Strategy!!
👊🦋
saw MVP successfully attack POG at the worlds
Yep. We know it’s in there. But was it all used up at PR is the question. 🤔🦋👊💪🤞
The question is not so much about whether Pog will win, but who is going to be the biggest knucklehead. 😁
Pogacar is going to do a 70km break just to show up Mathieu van der Poel
I thought it was to show up Remco who went 35 k out last year. 😂🦋👊
🍔🍔💯
😋 🍔👊🦋
@@ChrisHornerCycling I know your training secrets, bro!
Nothing against Pogi but I would love to see MVDP win. If so the race would be very interesting to watch. 😂😂❤❤
poggie gets what poggie wants. when there is this much climbing..
Tadej just needs to stay upright.
Let's hope he doesn't... It would at least give us a bit more excitement for the rest of the season. 😉
True that 🤞🦋
Untouchable or something else
something else is my opinion....I have never trusted anyone who works together with the biggest cheater in history of cycling Mauro Gianetti..... Mauro doped himself, and became DS at Saunier Duval after that... Well I do not have to explain what happened overthere ? Cobo Acebo, Piepoli, Ricardo rico are just a few of the names that where made big by Mauro Gianetti...
And yes this exact same Mauro Gianetti is CEO of team UAE...
Thus I put my money not on untouchable, but on something else. 😉
👽🛸🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Best tatics. Do not attack tadej pogacar 😂😂😂😂
Hehehe. Well at least on the steepest part of the climb don’t attack. MVDP can always wait Pog out and win in the sprint but if anyone else is there they better attack someone other then on the steep climbs. 😂🦋👊
@@ChrisHornerCycling agree 100😁😁😁😁
Can you imagine Tadje craahes out and misses the Tour de France? Not want it to happen cause The Pog is my man but whatca tour that would make
I would love that tbh.... Absolutely no fan of dopi-boy eeeuh Pogi-boy.
@@swissbiggy your assuming the rest aren't?
@@zerog4261 probably yes..... 😉
This year has been crazy 🤞🦋
Riders, should take your advice, they would do better!
First and second comment. Yippee
I got yea 3rd 🥉 and 4th.
Second and third. Two on the podium 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
You would think the pros would watch this
👊🦋
Pog wins unless he crashes or he gets the tactics wrong on the day. The analysis is simple!
🦋👍
LBL -->> Lettuce, Bacon, and more Lettuce
🥪😂🦋👊
First
Yes. 🏆🦋👊🔥🦋👊🦋👊👊🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
This might be the most boring LBL in it's 130 year history. Eddy Merckx never enjoyed these kinds of odds in his 14 year career. Odds makers are giving Pogacar a 67% chance. Is this a kids race, or is Pogacar eating a special form of Wheaties?
Let’s hope not. I got to get up early to watch LBL. 😂🤞🦋👊
@@ChrisHornerCycling I am predicting Remco's record of 41.397km/hr will fall tomorrow when Tadej motors in solo.
LBL has too many climbs for MVP. The vertical gain in the last part of the race is beyond what it can handle. Just see his historical results. He won't stand a chance against Pogi and other natural climbers.
Giro must for training…. Hyperbole
I hope not. 🤞🦋
I truly hope someone comes out and beats Pog. I don't want to see a boring race. The TDA was a great stage race this weak. That is one of my favorite little stage races to watch for the climbers.
Very interesting- if someone, other than Pogi comes out and beats Pogi, it’s not a boring race…
if the same thing spectacularly is done by Pogi, it’s a boring race…
What champions do is winning, and not everyone can be a champion. Or a legend.
@radokostanjevic5478 I like seeing a battle. Not a rider that goes out from 50k and win. That just doesn't make for good viewing. It's nothing aginst Pog he is a good rider. I myself don't consider him a legend, yet I will wait to make that judgment when he retires. Because someone could come along in a couple of years and start beating him. He is the number 1 rider now and probably will win the TDF now since Jonas got hurt, which is a bummer. I love seeing them battle. Prizmo doesn't stand a chance against Pog. I don't see anyone, but maybe Remco even coming close to beating Pog.
@@slayer6936 , it makes a very good viewing… if you are Slovenian. 👍😁🇸🇮
But I understand what you mean.
I personally root for a boring race… we all know what that means.
At least don’t race for second and I will be very happy. But we all know second is still valuable. So that leaves us hope that MVDP is going really good or at least he has some help from behind. Maybe just maybe Pog is not 100% on form. It could happen and then it’s a battle out there. 😂🦋👊
@@slayer6936, you don’t consider him a legend?
Yes, he is young and still has much to achieve.
But if you don’t know, he is at. 31 spot of all times!
Just take a look who is behind him.
You will find many legends on that list.
It’s not his “fault” that he is that good, achieving so much in such a short period of time.
He already is a legend, even if he retires tomorrow, after winning LBL, of course. But it won’t happen. Retirement, I mean. 😂
We are not talking about GOAT here, anyway just not yet. You are mistaking these 2 facts.
And my personal prediction for tomorrow - Pogi goes solo and wins.
For many out there a boring race, but not for me. Actually, I will enjoy it very much.
Gremo, Pogi! 👍🍀🚵🇸🇮
decathlon will win lbl ,parret peintre brotherstour des alpes finish with victory lopez .good tour 2024 ! njoy !
Good win for sure. But I was bit unhappy how they rode the front final stage in order to get that win, never going for GC attacks in the climb. But they did get the win. 🤔🦋👊🔥
@@ChrisHornerCycling sure ! they learning !😀🦋🥶
Pog will follow MvdP. I hope UAE doesn't do the knucklehead stuff. 🤞🏻
🤞🦋👊
The only question mark that will hover over this season, if pogacar wins the Tour de France, is he won’t have vingegaard fighting him. Even if the Dane does compete, he’ll be half of what he would be. Remco will most likely not be as dangerous as he would have been, had that accident not occurred. Roglic will most likely be the most dangerous competitor, but not to have the top riders competing at their very healthiest will be somehow slightly unsatisfying
Always that possibility unfortunately. 🤔🦋🤞
Pogačar all the way. No question. MVP lacks cycling sense. His DS follows him, rather than the other way round.
Follow follow follow. 🤞🦋👊
chris horner is a typical american genius. 😂
😂🦋👊
Sounds like a super boring racing season ahead
I may regret this but I’m not going to watch tomorrow. Pogacar domination boring
Will be another solo breakaway yawn fest.
2024 Tour de France, a recovered but still frail Vingegaard turns Pogacar into PoorGacar! Wait and see!
I don't think so😂😂
@@GaiusPrimusMatius OK, you're stalking me🤣😂
@@savagepro9060 😎😎😎😎😎😎
Vingegaard is purely based on the tour preparation and I dont think he'll have a chance this time
I saw the article today on Jonas and his team DS still have hope. Two weeks from now Jonas will need to be doing some kind of riding on the trainer. 🤞🦋
