Well you can't say to much negative about his effort he only lost ten seconds and maintained the over all lead. He rode like a beast and Yates put in one of his classic mountain rides.
Agree, Remco wanted the stage too and just rode a sustained high pace hoping to drop Yates off the wheel and/or to catch him on the less steep section…..and he nearly succeeded! Perhaps he’s slightly overconfident, but at least it makes him an entertaining and attacking rider, bit like MvdP. Always believes that he can win. 😂
@@hisdadjames4876he's not peaking yet. Which is scary if he can follow a climber that can keep up with the best most of the time....
@@de4ds1ghtcsgo94 If we ignore the possibility that half of them are doped up the the eyeballs, then we are looking at a fantastic generation of young riders coming through…Remco, Jonas, Pidcock, Pog, MvdP, WvA, de Lie, Bernal? and fifteen more already in the World Tour peloton. 👏👏👏 Can’t wait to see how this season plays out for them🤞
Sepp Kuss 🇺🇲 great job bro...finishing top 5 in the GC. Well done sir!
Great job too to LR...thanks as always for your commentary and content! Bravo 👏
I love your commentary man, keep up the good work ❤
enjoying the single month of the year where Yates rides like a GC grand tour rider
👏Great performance from Yates, imagine if he did this more consistently.
Remco would’ve wanted to hold his wheel to prove he’s worthy of riding the long hard climbs with Pog and Vingegaard, but only being 10 seconds behind Yates on this climb is very respectable.
Yates drafted Remco and did less w/kg overall but still great tactics!
@@Pauleuh Remco still doesn't understand it's not all w/kg
got my gnc+ subscription finally, its been fun to watch the race recaps after having seen the races :)
Solid versatility from Plapp.
I like how you said cavendish dropped like he was a contenter for gc or the stage
Finally UAE woke up and made an effort.
Would have been a failure, not to show
Anything on home sand. Good experience
For Remco, he did n't panic and boiled over.
😜🔝❤️
I think Yates lost the second in GC with posing up at the end
Yep. That’s why I think in stage races with GC hope you should always sprint to the line. Riders worry so much about bonus seconds and then just throw them away by posing.
not sure he's too fussed about the difference between 2nd and 3rd to be fair, being an older rider that's won the race before
2nd overall is the 1st loser - he never cared ;)
It will be interesting to see Geoffrey Bouchard in his next races. He clearly was not on my radar!
Now i know Yates probably didnt care about getting 2nd or 3rd in GC (he was there to win after all) but i cant believe there isnt more talk about him throwing away 2nd on GC thanks to him taking it easy in the final stages (on top of the obligatory "look at my sponsor" while crossing the line)...
I agree - to lose 2nd by one second - inexcusable. Why wasn't his DS in his ear about it ?
Please do a video and give your thoughts on Gran Camiño and the three stage wins in a row for Jonas Vingegaard
Or how about comparing these early-season performances of Jonas, Pogi, and Remco. Jonas and Pogacar both dominated, but perhaps against weaker opposition.
@@Sakkura1 Pogačar rode against better opposition than both: Remco and Vingegaard
@@nine37 pogacar is going to make lance look like a beginner
cycling is better bc of Lantern Rouge, thank you for your comprehensive work, amen
yeah Remco today was thinking about GC not the stage, thats why he paced hard i would say.
He paced decent climbers to 40 seconds....roglic will have to choose giro or tour because remco will make him work hard
damn super hot day, they all done well really with the relentless heat,
Genuine handicap for Remco wearing the leader's jersey. Everybody in the peloton wearing featherweight mesh jerseys for the 40* heat, while Remco looks like he's wearing a red trash bag.
Remco paced for GC instead of stage win, I think he knows that on this kind of stages with few kilojoules before the final climb and with this heat he isn't going to be faster than Yates, but he kept around 10" so it was never a problem.
He was faster on Jebel Jais in the sprint and considering he only lost 10", sitting in Yates' wheel might have been enough.
Thanks!
smoking a j currently watching this. Ligament damage in the knee meaning can't ride as much, will be watching a shit tonne of everything involving turning crank arms. Gassed that the season is really coming in now. Your top level analysis was 100% worthy of that gcn "partnership". I'm glad you haven't changed your style due to their auspices. Good for you man.
Love the subtle “Cavendish dropped.” 🤣
Hessman invented a new type of satellite rider that's just there to spray the leader with water when it's a hot day
Would love to see you on one of GCN's video! :D
Cannot believe that Yates gave up a GC position by a second because he posted up like 5sec from the line 🤦
Exactly.
When he zipped up the jersey and celebrated that was my exact thought.
2nd or 3rd overall, what's the difference? His goal was the stage and he totally nailed it. And of course he was going to flash the sponsor, his first win for the team at his sponsor's home tour...
Doubt Yates cares about 2nd or 3rd on GC
2 or 3 should matter. It's World Tour after all. It's less silly than people getting beat at the finish because of a victory celebration gone bad. Like for example Alaphilippe.
Nice been waiting for a GCN code, great content as usual
Remco is a BEAST
Wow GCN sponsoring you now. That’s huge
LR, any chance you can get old mate NZ added to the GCN+ discount list?!?
Remco did a good job not exploding, but he definitely burned over a bit. He suffered.
Then again who woulden't in that heat. One day we will see his perform against Pogacar and Vingegaard and we will have the trinity of terror compete.
Remco is a beast in many ways, but when you get in the high mountains, he cannot compete with Pog, Rog, or Vingo.
@@markdwelchforcongress4456he can with 1 of those 3. The other 2 he will lose 30s to 60s to in a gc. Which he can recover easily if there's a flat TT. He is by far the best flat TT guy over pogi and vin. Roglic can hold his own.
Letss gooo
@Lanterne Remco said about the Vuelta Stage you mentioned that he rode a steady pace 'cause he couldn't get out of the saddle due to the crash some days earlier in combintaion with the Lombardia crash. Maybe kind of similar problems as late casequances of the Lombardia crash. Source: GTCC Podcast
Have you seen him out of the saddle in last year's Liège-Bastogne?
In the vuelta it was just that one fall that caused him to not be able to stand out of the saddle.
I think Remco pacing up the climb eliminated any GC threat from Plapp or Bilbao. And Yates was never going to take a minute from him. If Remco is sure Yates can outsprint him for the stage win if he just follows, he may as well work in the lead over Yates. That suits his style of sustained efforts better. It isn't likely Yates will crack but something strange may happen to him on a very hot day. It looks like a no-lose tactic to me.
Oh yeah mega threat from plapp and bilbao 😂
Except I don't see how he can be certain Yates beat him in a sprint, Remco handely won the the one on Jebel Jais.
The GC mattered. The stage win not so much. Well done!
Specialized has been killing it so far this year!!
Tried a GCN subscription a year or so back and apparently that year any race I had ever heard of was embargoed in the US, only shown were 2d and 3d tier races.
Use a VPN mate.
What do you think Remco needs to shed some weight, looking at Tadej and Jonas performance on ultra steep slopes, can see remco struggling against those 2 beast if they go head to head or does he need to do altitude training.
If there's a 40km flat TT would you reconsider? He won't lose minutes. But pogi and vinge will lose 2 on a 40km flat TT
Looking forward to Chris Horner’s assessment! 😂l👌
Bilbao saved 2nd place for Plapp by sprinting at the end 😂
LR with the GCN combo😎
He shouldn't have paced imo. If Bilbao and Plapp already got dropped, they won't be a threat for GC anymore and Remco doesn't need to take time on them either. He should have sit in Yates wheel and think about the stage win, only worry about GC when it is actually needed (like Plapp or Bilbao coming back on). Especially if Yates still wanted to do something in GC he had to keep riding.
Remco made the same mistake as in Argentina (but with 1 Minute plus, no real upset)
What you live in Andorra?????? I live there too
That's why I avoid cycling competitions in the heat. And I don't ride bikes in a freakin' desert. :D
"Remco won't have to worry about that in the Giro unless something crazy happens" - interesting to see how this ages.
I doubt it will be 40 degrees in the giro
@@LanterneRougeCycling I wager €5 for 35+ on at least 1 stage, resulting in a GC shake up
@@LanterneRougeCycling Last May was pretty hot over there (I cooked myself at 30C from Milan to Turin even though it was all flat) and that Turin stage was very hot for May. If they were in the South things can get hotter. With this climate, you never know.
You have to take in account that Remco isn’t at his full potential this early in the season, he will work up to the giro.
Pretty sure Remco doesn’t have to be afraid of the heat. He started the UAE at 80% of his capabilities, and compared to Yates, he did not do an altitude training lately.
Adam Yates salvaged something for UAE Emirates by grabbing third place on the podium today. Despite Molano's sprint win, it wasn't looking great for the home team's performance up until the final stage.
Not quite steep enough for my man Sepp Kuss
I love Sepp, but he does not seem to possess the "NEED" to win that separates the champions from the greats.
Remco demonstrated that "NEED" today - in spades.
@@markdwelchforcongress4456 Maybe so but there is also the issue of form. Remco may have peaked early and Kuss is still coming into form.
@@trentvlak I am not talking about just this race. I have been waiting for a couple of years for Sepp to become a real GC threat - and he does not seem to be interested enough to make it happen.
maybe if he didnt pull at the begining of the climb he could have won and played it on defense only and sprint,but who knows maybe he would get dropped anyways by Yates
Surely Bilbao's socks can't be legal? Those things are LOOONG!
Wonder if Sepp Kuss will ever be a team leader?
Not without a strong time trial.
I hope I’m wrong but it’s unlikely with his current physique. World class climber but lacks explosiveness, and doesn’t have the TT grunt.
The answer is NO. He just doesn't have the inner drive necessary to elevate himself to a leader position.
Wtf is Geoff Buchard. Crazy Watts and Guy The man Had to do to from 70th wheel to 3rd.
WHY did Yates post up for the win when he could have pushed on for 1 sec and get 2nd on GC???
Surely the World Tour points and prize money is valuable to the team and teammates
Yates looking next level smooth, did he take the next step in his career? Serious TDF threat?
Domestique for Pogacar. Both Yates peaked about five years ago. They are super talented climbers but the top five will destroy them on GC.
Yates has always been really good on this climb, so not really an indication of what is to come.
@@MDP1702 hes never been this smooth on the bike, gotta disagree!
@@TaylorMonnig He might have slightly improved, I am not saying he hasn't. But this race just has never been indicative for the remainder of his season. It is like Wellens: always being good in february and then slightly faded throughout the year. Also he might have prepared even better for this race now he's with UAE and the importance of it for his new sponsors.
I thought Remco sat up, I mean this is in the UAE and Yates is sponsored by UAE, could I be wrong
Remco is human
He's not at full capacity. You also have to take his sprint train shenanigans into account. That makes the 10 sec gap understandable. The fact he halved it on the false flat is amazing
Captioning says Yates was stronger than Pikachu in 2020 (5:35)
Crazy that although cooked he only lost 10seconds
Plapp looking like he has been eating literally less than 10g of fat a day since TDU.
Will UAE use Yates in Tour de France
For the moment it looks like it. Though a question remains whether he'll be a full domestique or a co-leader. Tactically, would be wise to use him as a co-leader to 1-2 Jonas..
1-2 Jonas for sure. And plan b in case of drama, but never a proper co-leader.
@@janbregar2561 They might try to use him as a 1-2, but considering Yates' record vs Pogacar, there isn't really any doubt Yates will be a domestique in the end. As long as he doesn't take 5-10 minutes on Jonas, JV doesn't have to worry about Yates as a threat.
@@MDP1702 They wouldn't be comfortable seeing Yates with over a minute lead on Jonas tbh.. and given the parcours this year which in my opinion could make for little gaps (often happens with little TT kms), so 1 or 2 minutes could be hard to nullify.. Of course it's unlikely to be enough for Adam, but I don't think Jumbo would be comfortable with it..
@@janbregar2561 You are overestimating Yates for GT. He never podiumed one despite riding for the best GC team for the last 2 years and getting his chances. He really lacks the consistency needed for a GT.
I don't think we'll see little gaps in GC when there's a fight between Vingegaard and Pogacar, maybe between these 2 yes, but unlikely the other ones. Maybe Mas can also do really good if he's in topshape.
*often happens with little TT kms*
Except the last 2 years most of the differences were made on the climbs, not the TT's.
JV being worried about Yates is like UAE being worried about Kuss or Kruijswijk, it doesn't happen.
I hate that the rainbow stripes on the hat don’t match the ones on the glasses. Why?!
That's some next level 1st world OCD shit there. The hat manufacturers have the stripes in a different order. Having said that Santini and Castelli also offer hats with the stripes in the same order whereas Trek Segafredo have them in the opposite (matching Remco's sunnies) order. Fuck you've got me at it as well.
Gotta pick your battles!😝
Good point
If he puts his hat on backwards they'll match. Or he could put his sunnies on upside-down, which is how most cyclists do it when wearing a helmet.
I need to get out more!
Okay, now that one of the Yates wins a race we have to keep pretending they are a threat to the A list riders later in the season when the real stage races start. They both need to embrace the super domestique roles at this point in their careers.
Simon Yates won a Paris-Nice stage last year though and would have won GC without VA in support of Roglic.
Remco should have never pulled himself, Plapp was already behind and if he returns with any new acceleration he'd be off again. If Remco just follows Yates till the flatter part at the top he could outsprint him easily for the stage win as well as the GC
he should try with flat tire 😂
“I don’t know of the topography of this climb in February” because it is wildly different in any other month 😂
Uhum, is that THE Cavendish who wants to overtake Merckx's record? Hahahahahahah
What is remco driving? A venge?
Remco should just sit. Easy.
There are worse styles to have than Indurain style.
Pas besoin de se dépouiller course gagnée . Pour info il l'a laché facilement a classica san sebastien 2022 . Look .
I didn't see it as REMCO going over his limit...more like he DIDN'T need to follow YATES, just keep him close...which he did.
He said he went over his limit in the interview (8:04) and if he could keep up with yates he would have
Well, that would have make sense if Remco Himself hasn’t said otherwise
For sure he went over it, and the heat + some kgs excess weight didn't help, but overal his form is solid. He is cranking out impressive wattages on the flat, and has some work to do (altitude training camp + weight loss).
@@l.d.t.6327he was impressive considering the build up has only just started for the giro. If he takes another step roglic might be in trouble fr. I mean him being able to handle 2500+ properly would negate his only weakness left😅
Remco lost only 10 sec
I doubt Remco would have won even if he didn't pull
only 10" back? Yeah, he could have won if he didn't pull, though obviously no guarantee.
Remco, ask Vingegaard for doping!
Many of your clips arent from 2023.
why no omloop and Kuurne? I really dislike the excessive attention you give stage races over classics.
GCN advert. Prefer LR clips. Tho.
??? Guys need to make some money and GCN+ goes hand in hand with LRCP, I have been waiting for this promo so I can support LR and get access to the great racing on GCN+
Step off it and let your boy LR eat, afford to live in Europe, etc. You want him to start hawking Ridge Wallets or MasterWorks instead?
@@ktakashismith know where you’re coming from !!!
I think even with those watts could he out run 1.2 million crossing illegally into the USA, better get an e-bike as many of those people are more fit than him!
