Professional road cycling pundit Lanterne Rouge presents highlights of stage 17 / résumé étape 17 / resumen etapa 17 of the Tour de France 2021. Tadej Pogačar (UAE-Team Emirates) wins the stage followed by Jonas Vingegaard (Team Jumbo-Visma) and Richard Carapaz (INEOS Grenadiers). Tadej Pogačar (UAE-Team Emirates) keeps the yellow jersey followed by Jonas Vingegaard (Team Jumbo-Visma) and Richard Carapaz (INEOS Grenadiers).
Vingegaard will never be able to ride a grand tour without being one of the favorites again, his first tour, was supposed to be a supporting act, and now in 2nd - that's massive
Primoz Roglic disliked this.
So which supporting rider will be second in the Vuelta?
Yes pogacar rise has been what about 2yrs also , a new generation coming straight through
it was the same with Bernal, the guy just won, even he was surprised. I hope he comes back on TDF and take the yellow again
Imagine if they had a healthy Roglic. TJV would have had more tactics to play
0:37 That Cavendish comment made me laugh. Good job :D
Savage
Yes, well played!
Aged well
Imagine if Roglic was still in the tour with vinegaard delivering death blows to the gc group...
Depends what he would've done compared to Pogacar in the ITT (when healthy) and Le Grand-Bornand but these last GC stages he would've eaten Pogs lunch. Man we were robbed of such an epic one... F'ing Colbrelli and one of the dumbest woman walking this planet 🤦♂️
Roglic should have stayed as a domestic to Vingegaard.
@@MMachine76 Yeah that would've been really smart 😂🤦♂️🤦♂️ Let's be the best rider in the world, have a fairly decent injury and domestique your teammate to at best 2nd place and compromise also the rest of the season. That would make a lot of sense for TJV and Roglic...
mmm, with Carapaz in this tour he couldn't deliver a deadly attack, forget it.
Pogacar is the best rider for the G.C.'s atm. the only riders who can threaten him are Roglic and Bernal.....
The smirk on Pogacar’s face 400m from the finish
Like doping Lance Armstrong.
@@petermonarchist9542 Welcome to cycling where if anyone is too good, they must be cheating. Sad.
@@W4TSKY YAWN.
follow the bread crumbs. google his medical staff, his team leader, their backgrounds? then look at his watts/kg in his strava files of TDF 2020. re-watch Lance on Hautacam, now connect the dots.
@@medwido People like @atmosvere do Not want to be confronted with such information. They cannot stand the truth.
That was electrifying to watch. Especially as I got to see the lads in person on the flats. Tadej’s smile while sitting on Carapaz’s wheel was both terrifying and exciting. Can say that this and the Cav Carcassone sprint have been my favourite stage endings this year
I remember watching Lance, Pantani, and Vinokourov produce “ electrifying” results years ago…..
Marc Daniels nice! This is my first year following!
@@harryriley7796 he is talking about them doping
Yes cycling and smiling is terrifying! Thank god you lived to tell this boring humble brag.
1:14 You need to make a video about how most of the UAE team seems to have started copying Pogačar's trademark hair out of the helmet style. I wonder if that is part of the secret behind his success and why UAE did so well for him today?
It's for sure a Met helmet thing, I have the same one and my hair is always sticking out the top lol
6:10 Even Jonas has adopted the hairodynamic strat
@@alanmartin1 He has stolen both Pogačar's white jersey and his hairstyle!
All about aerodynamics
ive notice Pogi tuft of hair but those other are funny.. I wonder if its the helmets they use
Ciro Immobile would be proud
Sterling too
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Tadej explained why he wanted the win so badly. One of the UAE manager has been diagnosed with cancer and the treatment started around today or something of the sort. So they wanted to send him some support through that stage performance.
I heard this was the only day that manager was at the Tour due to his treatment or something similar.
Hope the body is holding up LR. Love the videos mate, you make the tours digestible and interesting for us not able to watch the full 4-5 hour stages. Thanks for the analysis and work.
But, you probably watch the last hour and a half or so?
I watched the whole day and it was mostly so so riding (glorious scenery as ever) but then that last climb was fantastic biking and the last 8 km epic for the ages.
I though Carapaz played by the norms of racing - this is not a coffee social ride. It might have paid off but I think he went just too early. Vingegaard showed maturity and sheer grit in riding back onto the wheel of Pogacar and got justice in coming second. He is one for the future.
Pog showing he is definitely head and shoulders best overall rider this year.
Well said..nothing to add :)
Nothing wrong with some dirty tactics, but it will all be remembered.
@@dpcater dirty in a good way, from a fan perspective. Not pulling, putting up faces, getting a towe to the podium, then trying to take the stage win. A fan of this sport for more then 40 years.
6:13 some sexy editing, appreciate the effort considering
Cavendish waiting for tomorrow? I thought froome was leading griepel up the tourmalet to light up gc
Right! Greipel has really showed some good form in the pyrenees
Cav can't stay with Chipo and Abdu in the mountains dawg 🤦
"Griepel" lmao
Get well soon LR! Hope you're not too banged up
Hope you’re back on the bike soon. Great effort still getting a video out despite your bad day 👍
Rider of the day for sure.
I'm from SLO and i'm Vingegaard's new fan :)Great rider.
I thought it was pretty obvious after the first 2/3 accelerations where he didn't get gapped at all and it was just all facial expressions
Was definitely fun to watch and speculate what he was up to. He sold it pretty well to viewers and commentators but I reckon Pog and Vingegaard had Carapaz’s card marked all along
he hasn’t made friends with this action......
I’m just glad he lost
At one point Carapaz was playing around with his cycling computer as if it wasn't working as a bluff...
He got 3rd of 3 two days in a row! Hell yeah, serves him right.
For sneaky behavior
I was watching on eurosport and I almost spat out my dinner on the table when I heard Wiggins saying after finnish, that pogačar should have let carapaz win, because he already has yellow and he could have gotten an alliance with ineos for tomorrow 🤕
Classic Wiggins XD It tells a lot about our sport when this type of guy is considered one of the most influential experts. And to be clear - I am not discrediting his cycling achievements, but his commentary and crazy-stupid opinions
Absolutely no logic to wiggins if that's true , pogacar best rider by far and was obviously keen to win one of the mountain stages today or tomorro for a perfect tdf . Who's yo say he might win tomorro . I really enjoyed carapaz cycling today , nowt wrong with it , its a competition:) 😃
Far more likely for Pog to get an alliance with TJV
Yeah, like Pogacar needs Ineos help.
Did he? what an idiot.... if anything Pogi and Jonas are allies now after Carapaz drama
WDYM ISN WERE RIDING FOR GREIPEL
Dude Greipel is a sprinter, this is a mountain stage
New subscriber during this years tour. Absolutely loving the content, some recaps been better than the stages themselves.
Imagine crashing trying to hold Nibali's wheel going downhill and still making it home in time to record a pod and a highlights video, fair play LR 😂👏 Maybe Benji should get you a descending coach like for Evenepoel... No, but seriously, I am really glad you are alright 🙂
pogacar smiling while climbing is so scary ahah
Great tactic, i always smile at my oponents, they think im fresh and just break up
Must be thinking about how well all those juicy supplements are working. 🤣🤣👍🤣🤣
EPOgacar
@@marcdaniels9079 👆you are sad person comenting online on a video about top cyclist!
@@lanmartinmajcen7212 No, I am very happy 😃!!!! I am old enough to have seen this story many times before. 😉
Heal up soon Lantern !! Big props for getting the analysis vid out on the same day as your hospital visit. The OG subscribers apperciate the struggle !!
Love the appearing out of the fog fade, oscar level editing.
Yep. Everything on time, right place. Great luck, good cameraman, editor!
Cycling Oscar for R. Carapaz for playing the "wounded sheep"
He deserved to fall to third for not taking any turns coming up the mountain.
Vingegaard just straight up a better GC rider than Carapaz and imagine the difference in their salaries 🤯🤯🤯
What has Vingegaard won? Has he won a grand tour or any tour?
@@santiandres5177 Actually was less about how good Vingegaard has been and more about how underwhelming Carapaz has been. He’s on big big money at INEOS and if the big bad Empire want to win the Tour in the next decade they’re gonna have to rethink. Riders of Carapaz, Thomas, Yates, Porte, etc. are nowhere near this kid at the moment
@@evanallen4539 The best option is obviously a healthy Bernal
Carapaz peaked early. he isnt at 100%
@@evanallen4539 that is very correct sir, ineos have gone geriatric and everyone keeps falling off, God bless them at ineos, but its so corporate...great to see young mega heroes like mr jonas and capt Tadej......and wonderful Woutey and the bionic Mathieu.....not to mention superman Remco
Love to see Rim Brakes on Pogacar.
Probably just for weight, he uses disks everywhere else
V good highlights, evidently done in pain, thank you.
Let’s hope pogacar is not using drugs. Wonderful rider-it is him, mvp, wva now and for next few yrs.
They say he takes 2 test before and 1 after. Do you know of other drug tests he should take?
@@fujiwaramichaelm6686 hello, i know drug testing is not great, that he was tested thrice one day only, that Armstrong was tested approx 300 times and passed each time.
I like the guy. I hope he is not using drugs. But I know that two top managers on his team have long term doping history in cycling and were the managers of m pantani and I basso
What is needed in cycling for starters is, w the recent conviction of dr Freeman, the depos under oath of Wiggins brailsford froome.
Am i the only one who saw tajej smile as carapaz was forced to pull in the end 😂
He like Karma a bitch 😂
Nope. He was like "Finally". He sat there and let Jonas catch up, recovering for the final attack for the win and Jonas moved into second.
Great ride from Jonas to bridge back after Carapaz's pirate attack. Love Robbie McEwan's comment about Carapaz stealing your watch as he shakes your hand...
Le faltó piratear más
Carapaz was in the form of his life here. Unfortunately Pog and vingegaard are just on another level.
certainly not on the toilet this time as i watch another great highlight. love the comedic output youve been adding, get well soon LR!
Anyone hating on Carapaz's tactics is clearly new to the sport... this type of stuff is part of the game... always has been, always will be. Stellar performance by El Locomotura, he's animated the GC battle since the first week and is the only one willing to take it to Pogacar repeatedly. Whether or not successive attacks are the most effective move is a different discussion, but it makes for great racing/viewing.
I remember a fantastic world championship race 2013 a few years ago , . Rui Costa sat back in the front group and never led , nibali, val Verde and Rodriguez did all the gladiator stuff( has to Google them as I forgot 🙂) and at tge very end rui Costa had the energy to win . Felt gutted for the gkadiators at the front , but Rui got his World Champ title 💪epic hard race
Glad Carapaz lost. low class move
@@RadGnarRad dummy
you sound like a bit of a fan tbh, and its "la locomotora"... "the only one willing to take it to pogacar" lol what race have you been watching. He may be willing but hasnt done shit in that regard to weaken Pogacar, at least Vingegaard has actually made Pogacar look weak. Vingegaard has also attacked at least as much as Carapaz and way more effectively
@@mikkelandersen2167 Thank you for the spelling correction. Again, Carapaz is "the only one willing to take it to Pogacar repeatedly"; emphasis on the word "repeatedly". If you read the rest of my comment I clearly concede that his attacks may not be the most effective. Vingegaard is a talented rider no doubt and will surely place higher than Carapaz, however, he has not attacked nearly as much as Carapaz.
6:26 Yeah, you nailed it. Those tactics are a part of cycling, so it's fair enough. Far from a gentleman move though, as he himself also gained a huge benefit for the high pace set by Vingegaard and Pogačar as they dropped Urán. He could've helped himself and the two others by pulling as well and gaining even more time on Urán. But he went greedy. But perhaps it was the best move for him. Maybe he would've been dropped as well if he had pulled his weight? Who knows? Maybe what he did was the only thing he could do.
For me, it was also a bit annoying because I rooted for Vingegaard and Pogačar. Pogačar because he's such a young superstar and I want to see him break records, and Vingegaard because I'm Danish. So had Carapaz pulled and got dropped by Pogačar and Vingegaard, then all the better in my eyes :)
7:15 I sure hope Pogačar goes for the 3rd stage win and the polka jersey like last year. Then he'll even have a chance to better his record from last year when he won 3 jerseys and 3 stages if he can manage the last TT as well. That would be epic to watch, and oh my what a statement to make for Roglič and Bernal waiting at the Vuelta.
I’m ambivalent about Pog winning the Polka Dot jersey simply by winning the last two stages which the race committee have given double points this year (as they did on Ventoux). It makes a mockery of the PD jersey comp to make it mathematically possible to win that comp this way. There needs to be a rethink about a better distribution of mountain points across the whole race.
@@epincion I actually disagree with that criticism. I think it's awesome that you can now go for both high placements in the GC and go for the polka dot jersey as well rather than having the polka dot jersey be reserved for only breakaway riders who have no chance for a top 10 placement in the GC. I think it's awesome that there's this secondary category that gives GC guys an incentive to attack in situations that would not otherwise be ideal if you thought of it only in terms of winning time for the GC.
@@DirtyPoul Agree with epincion. The 40-point HC climbs are not good for an interesting climbers competition. It's also not good if one particular stage has a large percentage of the tour's climbers points. That happened a few years ago when Romain Bardet won the polka dot jersey. Romain Bardet is a great rider but he was having a bad tour de France that year, until he saved it with a long breakaway on the stage that had the most points. The climbers competition should be won by a rider who climbs well throughout the tour, not a GC rider who is good on a few particular climbs or a breakaway rider who is good on just one day.
"But he went greedy". Errr... At this moment, Ineos and Carapaz have nothing. No stage win, no certainty about the podium. JV and UAE have stage wins (two each). A gentleman move (pulling though) wouldn't necessarily have delivered any more time gains on Uran. And as far as I know, gentleman moves aren't even considered in gentleman's races. There are no gifts at this level and you try to ride your best race for your goals in the race. Carapaz gave it his best to win the stage and in the end, he gained time. So a fine ride within his possibilities, and a joy to watch the tactical battle.
Carapaz wasn't trying to gain time he was waiting and hoping Pog would blow up and he would win the stage. Vindeguard helping Pog was pathetic.
great to see an aggressive Yellow Jersey this year..
to be fair Roglic was quite aggressive last year. but those Ineos/Sky wins.. yeah, not so much...
Roglic aggresive? Only in the last kilometer, froome attacked way earlier. (Not a fan of froome)

@@timliscum2861 was a reaction against the other comment.
Absolute belter of a highlight vid, as always. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Well done for getting the pod done banged up. Rest well.
AWESOME stage!!!
Great to see the top three go at it!!!
Tadej looks like he's out for an endurance ride.
💉
Looks to easy to be believed… 5 mins plus lead tells you all you need to know 💊🧪😉💉💉💉 super natural 😂
Got to give him credit for all the tour de france experience he accumulated. Wait, only 2nd tour and doing what the best would do after years of work. Getting ridiculous.
@@krisbowditch827 proof?
@@googleaccount3286 proof?
Although some would say that was a bit of a not-very-sportsmanlike move by carapaz I think it was genius and he deserves credit for it
How is it genius? I'm glad he couldn't take any seconds
@@pablomeza4491 he defo would have if he had timed the attack better
Indeed! Great move! Especially cause pog and Jonas just kept pulling him on the podium 😂
Bravo LR for delivering this content when you’re banged up! Rest and get better!
Imagine if Roglic was there together with Vingegaard
A great stage with a great finish. You always want the top guys head vs head - and we got that yesterday!!
Pog just looking back and smiling whilst smoking strong riders
Rim brakes for the win
Pogacar is a boss.. he was smiling, knowing he'd win
SLOVENIJA 🇸🇮 👍 👏
Vingegaard vs Tadej is going to be epic
Great highlights video. Thanks for the awesome content. I was impressed with Rafal Majika today on that last climb. He rode like a beast for Tadej. Also for all the Bernal supporters, I don't think he is at the same level of Roglic or Pogacar, he doesn't have the same levels of endurance and definitely falls short on his time trialing ability. In this years tour he would have fallen well short with two time trials
Very pleased to see BOC in the mix again and really good to see the way vingegard rode back on and didn’t panic, he’ll be a star in the future.
Movistar will chase him tomorrow dont worry guys
Ded team boiii
Movistar is Carapaz toxic ex girlfriend!
I just wish your comment about Cav was as honest as your comment about getting patched up. Speedy recovery dude.
Couldn't understand why LR still has 123k subs. His analysis is better than other cycling sites. And he's funny too!
I don't like the tactic at all but it is a valid tactic. Glad it didn't work and he got third
This!! I was screaming at Vingo to catch him.
I love the Cavendish bit at the beginning😂
Wow, I only saw the highlights but Pogacar is incredible. I think he will go to win today's climb to Luz so that he can win also the KoM. He definitely looks in great form even just looking at his body language. Impressive!!!
LR I love your recaps , don't change a thing !!!!!!!!!
Imagine being Carapaz attacking full gas looking back to check the gap and seeing Pogacar on the wheel with that smirk on his face :D
Tadej just toying with these guys.
same as the Ventoux right
@@croatianmountainbiking6624 well, he put 3 more minutes into the 2nd on GC that stage, so yeah. He toyed with all of them.
@@oldiebutgoodie2638 same as Ventoux right?
Today was the day the Wet Bandits ALMOST got Jonas Vingegaard.
🤣
Luckily they didnt
Lanterne Rouge crash analysis video incoming?
Wow! One of the best finish line battles! Oldies will have to give way to the youngies! Thanks to Pogi, Vin, Cara !
Gaudu from a late break (or jumping off from the peloton in the final climb) makes a lot of sense for me: he is behind on enough time where GC favorites shouldn't care, and his form is coming such that he should be able to finish it off...unless Carapaz is under orders from Ineos to salvage the TdF for the team and try for the stage. In that case Pogi looks to piss/rain all over their parade for back-to-back stages.
Richard "Gere" Carapaz
"Gear"?
@@theupperechelon7634 ja ja
Pog looked like he was smiling most of the way up Col du Portet.
This guy diserve an oscar !!! 😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣
Nothing wrong with what Carapaz did. He has to play the cards he has. Vingegaard learned a good lesson, why is he leading with Pogacar? Next time he will take fewer leads.
Agree...Pog attacked and there was no reason at all for Vin or Carapaz to help him out, why would they, they should both just sit on his wheel and let do the work ..annoyed Vin helped him out TBH
from tdf 2024 stage 20
Pretends to suffer, attacks comes 3rd brilliant tactics 🤣
Thanks! Meme attack, that's great!
Best youtuber on the platform (besides benji🙁)
Carapaz was fighting like a lion. Many sympathies from me for him now.
A lion? The guy got towed up the mountain doing fuck all and then got done. Weak af
@@whatwelearned Bro, you call him weak as fuck but he would drop u after 50m on any climb.
Weird way to spell Vingegaard
@@whatwelearned you thought je could fall from the first second of the climb. Yet he still stuck to the best and even attacked twice. Carapaz was great
@@willshepherd4698 what an well thought out response
Pogacar is beginning to look a lot like great champion Greg Lamond, and I am not just saying this because we are both in Minnesota.
He is calmly doing the work, putting on a show, winning with or without a team up there with him. A real Mountain GOAT!
I mean Carapaz kinda had to.... Pogacar seems unbrakeable, looks like only Roglic can/could match him
Looks like only him can match reglic
Bernal maybe
Can't wait to see Roglic back at it again
@@arthurdewaele8338 Why does everyone go on about Bernal? Is it because he won the Tour in 2019 and the Giro this year? Last years tour he cracked something terrible and even in the Giro this year he was cracking like crazy in the last week and he has a preety weak time trial in comparrison to Pogacar and Roglic
@@darrynwiehahn4834 True. Bernal is overrated and I can't believe that people don't see it. His strong team saved him in the Giro.
quick turn aroung for LR today. good man!
I hope you are well after your crash and that your recovery is comfortable.
Love the videos and the podcast. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Hope you’re ok after your crash LR!! Speedy recovery!
Hope you’re back on the bike soon Pat! Incredible content you’ve put out this Tour
Pogacar, will use BMX bike, for tomorrows race. To give the others a chance.
he should save it for the TT. it's closer to the ground which makes it more aero
@@iansteelmatheson I hope he will be riding a track TT bike. For more drivetrain momentum on the flat 😉
Great video!! It’s great to hear someone who can say the top 3 riders surnames correctly!! Unlike Eurosport!! EPIC fail from Carapaz!! Hope you feel better soon!!
So a domestique, Vingegaard became 2d in the Tour. Because Roglic crashed. Another domestique (or gregario), Caruso was 2d in the Giro because his captain, Landa also crashed.
It's incredible that Castroviejo wasn't brought to any GTs when he was at Movistar. Just look at how talented he is.
This is a fantastic summary. Thank you.
big ups to Poggers for doing the anime glasses push up before shattering these nerds
And the Oscar goes to Carapaz! He just didn't have the legs to finish the job. Pogacar showed why he will be the Tour GC winner, short of a catastrophe in the final stages. Vinegaard will be a future winner, if he stays health. Stage 18 was really entertaining. This Tour one of the best.
Haha, Cav in the break looking for a stage win tomorrow! Haha!
Straight up good stage and great recap. I think Carapez has used those tactics here for the last time!
Pog again tomorrow? But I'd love to see Sepp, WVA or Jonas take the stage. Or anyone else- I don't mind surprises!
Enjoyed it as usual- ty, LR
Such strong riding today
I want to see Vingo win tomorrow! He has been fantastic so far!
Pogacar is on another level (drug wise)
haha you could only wish
maybe
Richard Carapaz Pretends to Suffer then ATTACKS Pogacar, THEN gets Pogacar to teach him what suffering actually means.
Another masterclass pod. Bravo! ...or is it the drugs?
The speed is mostly so low, that pulling doesn't make that big of a difference. The cool thing was, either way, that Vingegaard beat him anyway - impressive coolness for a younger that young.
Wrong. 20kph+ and it does make a difference
Let's just say Carapaz didn't make any friends today out there
yep, playing cheap
He is not there to make friends. He is there to be in the podium.
@@estabestia true but let's just say no one will ever work with him again. He'll always be made to go to the front and work. No friends in the peleton makes life rough. yeah its cycling tactics and if you're not as strong as the other two you do what you have to do ;)
Yellow wearing a rim brake bike on the mountain stages? As well as in the time trial...interesting!
@LanterneRouge how is your right side, and your bike after today?
Be well!
guess its also because of the neutral support. They will fit ur bike, but if ur riding disc u might get into trouble. I also think its easier to steer with rim brakes in corners than with discs.... Rim breaks will center ur wheel more while breaking
@@user-vw4hv4dj4e "cough"weight....
The best actor award surely should go to Pogacar for feigning being out of breath and falling on the ground after he crossed the finish line! He went from gasping for air to normal conversation like flicking on a light switch! UAE seem to have all the medicinal bases covered but they’ve dropped the ball on method acting.
POGAČAR ⭐👍👏🇸🇮
A bit rough to single out Carapaz for a strategy which was used by most of the big leaders in the past.
Contador, Froome Armstrong or Nibali all used the "i'm at the limits" trick to better counter their opponents.
Pogacar is stronger than everyone, Carapaz had already assured the podium, so he tried something.
You're right - it wasn't a new strategy, but it was stupid... he went to early... big up for Vingegaard
Just one question: How do you actually know that Carapaz was pretending to suffer while trying to follow several of Pogacar's attacks?
I actually expected more from you. You can analyse Carapaz' power data (free for all on Strava), and tell me with a straight face he wasn't suffering.
Either he wasn't suffering and he was still acting when he lost the stage win, pretending he couldn't follow, or he was suffering and gave it all in the stage. You tell me.
Dude the team literally went out and admitted it was acting. Stop being an idiot, everyone knew including the other riders
@@frederikbrandt424 ofcourse he was acting at some points, but you would be the idiot to think he was acting while Pogacar attacked.
I remember Carapaz bluffing in Stage 17 of last year's Vuelta. He likes to sit at the back and act like he's struggling (and he is more convincing than many riders).
