Without sponsors there would be no "pro" cycling... so it's a win/win. I personally don't think pro-cyclists get paid enough for the amount of training and pain and suffering they do.
He has incredible skills, incredible strengths, incredible endurance, and incredible strategy. He is the greatest of all time of this generation. His father wasn’t so bad either.
@@z.kramer6027voluntary or not, it's still a deviation... rules don't change based on how tired riders are. I was cheering for him, and was so disappointed to see him swerving all over the place, knowing he was screwing himself over.
The Race was over when there were 44 Km reamaining and MVDP took the lead. I am from Brazil, and we have a expression for situations like these: "Já era!"
Paris roubaix will be more interesting by far the most unpredictable race on the calendar because no climbs to separate riders and huge puncture and crash potential so even the stronger riders need a day of good luck
I've been listening to Carlton Kirby for years and have heard him make countless 'plays on words' / puns. Not one has made me laugh and most do not even make sense. Please can Eurosport find a better commentator. It is surely putting people off their coverage and therefore cycling as a whole. It is also a shame to see the highlights narrated in the past tense. It removes any sense of excitement. Why not use the present tense or the commentary from the live feed?
Such hushed mention of the fact that Matthews brought his un-sportive self again. Not the first time. This behaviour should be penalized not just by shifting ranks but money penalties, especially in weather like this.
Love the highlights of the race, MVDP what a beast. But I gave the video a dislike because of the poor quality of the commentary. No analysis, very little information, just bizarre twisted metaphors and strange rhetoric questions.
such dominance does not make for great watching to be honest. races become a forgone conclusion with the commentators endlessly and expectantly gushing about the top favourites.
Something is awry. I remember the good ole days when bike racing required tactics right up till the final 5km. We didn't use to have all these extra-terrestrials floating around. You should never be able to ride away from large groups of pros on the flats. This should only happen in a junior race.
With hundred meters left to sprint everyone sprints 100m, but Michael Matthews, he sprints 150m... They need to relegate him until he learns to sprint straight. That dude...😮
@@Minifliek oh definitely, but it still looked like a cakewalk with how far MVDP was ahead of everyone. There was never any worry for him it felt like.
Loving the drone shots
Love to see
Not when they're so close to the riders that they become distracted 😮
Should stay at least 20 meters behind.
Especially in the women’s tour they came waaaay too close. It looked to almost crash into Shirin.
Its not a drone😉
Its a camera on a line drones are not allowed at the moment

Bergs, frites beer, you wouldn't happen to be American? Surprised you didn't also culturally appropriate chocolate as well.😅
Anyone noticed that a 20 year old "kid" entered 5Th? António Morgado is a name to keep on the radar.
20 year old that look like already on his 40's hahaha
Dont forget pithie just 21
I rode down the Kemmelberg on a rainy December day two years ago. It was STRESSFUL.
MVDP gotta have one hell of a contract with Canyon. The amount of times he steers the focus on his bike in recent weeks is crazy 😂 money talks!
I'm sure they're both benefiting very nicely indeed! And perhaps the peace of mind/ lack of worry for MVDP lets him just focus on training.
I think he signed a 10 year deal a few weeks ago.
Without sponsors there would be no "pro" cycling... so it's a win/win. I personally don't think pro-cyclists get paid enough for the amount of training and pain and suffering they do.
If only Canyon could stop their bikes from cracking
@@fhowland Alleged cracks don't seem to be stopping MvdP.
Love to see drone shots coming to cycling, finally! Awesome!
Grande MVDP grande! Este estilo de ataques desde lejos le dan una emoción diferente al ciclismo! Chapeau!
Most Valuable Dutch Player
Verstappen is nice too;)
Thank you for not ruining it in the title like some others did
When the cobbles became wet and muddy it wasn't going to be anyone else on the top step
I bet he had on the best tires of any rider for the day! Being a cyclo cross champion doesn’t hurt
MVDP is king! Watching all but three riders get off and walk up the cobbles was wild! Unfortunate for Bling
Well done MVDP, Massive Congratulations to Nils pollit in 3rd. What a ride, I knew he would do a ride, hats off Nils.
The best in these days. Only champion !
Eurosport Cycling, Yay! I liked this video so much, it made me smile!
Monstrous win by MVDP🎉🎉

Win after win! MVDP seems to be the rider born to wear the rainbow jersey.
sad for mattews.. but he should follow straight line.. and what an amazing victory for MVDP!! let's go 4 times win flanders!
it was the end of 300km of racing i don't think it was voluntary swaying by matthews
@@z.kramer6027voluntary or not, it's still a deviation... rules don't change based on how tired riders are. I was cheering for him, and was so disappointed to see him swerving all over the place, knowing he was screwing himself over.
@@z.kramer6027come on lol, that’s just nonsense, he knew exactly where he was going, they always do.
That came surprising to me. I mean, he basically just kept the same line that Jasper Philipsen usually takes ... and Philipsen never gets relegated?
Ye like what the fuck was that deviation from left to the edge of right what a dumass haha
nice, love the commentary
The Race was over when there were 44 Km reamaining and MVDP took the lead. I am from Brazil, and we have a expression for situations like these: "Já era!"
with that much of a lead he should of wheelied over the line, the crowd would of gone wild for that!
Youngest riders to finish top-10 in a monument since 1945.

The track used to cover the map is amazing. Does anyone know what it is
Drone shots are weird. Too fast,like speeded up clips from the eighties.😅
MVDP is the king 👑 of cobbles no doubt 😅😂
Highlights need to be longer. Thanks
Monster!

Gracias MVDP por existir! Thank you for existing!!!!
It’s about time Mathew’s was relegated. He always starts in the middle and finishes at the barriers, was getting sick of seeing his dirty sprinting.
Pure tiredness was the reason for his wayward sprint. Nothing dirty about it.
I had a lot of respect for the group following MVP. I can understand exhaustion literally blinding the riders from their path forward
Pogi and Vdp number one
He is my new Peter Sagan
MVDP is goat
Goat?
@@YTOnlineReviews probably greatest of all time (still Eddy first)
Beast
If only Wout Van Art was ok
what a pity (that crush)
MVDP might still have won but the race would have been way more interesting, for sure.
MVP! ❤❤❤❤
Great race ... would have been better with Van Aert, Stuyven ... Rob Hatch :p
Amazing
Such hushed mention of the fact that Matthews brought his un-sportive self again. Not the first time. This behaviour should be penalized not just by shifting ranks but money penalties, especially in weather like this.
Nils Politt was 3th not 4th, right? Because in results he is listed at 4th...
Matthews got DQed
Maybe MvpD should try a different sport and give the rest a chance! Golf? = )
😂😅 he is just too strong for everyone I think 😅
he did get benched in futbol as a teen before switching to cycling
MVDP is the real king of Ronde
A pity Pogacar wasn't there... Curious how he would deal with slippy cobbles...
What happened to Matteo J, over the Cop?
Hola. Resumen en Español ?
👑 MVDP👑
Next time he'll hoist his steed will be PrB
MVDP FAZ UMA CORRIDA SEPARADA DOS DEMAIS ...ELE É ABSOLUTO.
MVP-VIP!!!!!!!!

Yes, the words are poetic but totally lacking information.
Canyon sales going up 😅
Cavendish takes Matthews line in the sprint and no one says shit. sucks for Matthews
I'm no expert, but looking at the replay a few times it is unclear to me what Matthews did wrong
@@GdF420 rewatch in slow motion from 5:47 all the way to the finish line. He clearly rejected at least 2 riders space and cut their line.
Schnellster Stundendurchschnitt mit 47,8 km/h...deutlich schneller als Ballan, Museeuw, Aldag, Pollentier, Boonen, Zabel...🤔🤔🤔
MOAR
A vulgar display of power. 🤯
such dominance does not make for great watching to be honest. races become a forgone conclusion with the commentators endlessly and expectantly gushing about the top favourites.
this commentator is the WORST! so many filler phrases without providing real info, statistics and insights.
Matheuis made mistake..ugh.. not podium 😢

Congrats MVDP! After the cobbles on the koppenberg, the competition absolutely vanished 😅
Is it possible to
"van der Poooool"
Pronounced like swimming pooooool.
Please?
pity wout could not take part

Yea more drone shots
Ridiculous deviation at the end
anticlimactic for me, it was MVDP's race to lose from the beginning and he did what was expected
Still hard to do if everyone expects it and does everything they can to stop you from doing said thing.
@@Minifliek oh definitely, but it still looked like a cakewalk with how far MVDP was ahead of everyone. There was never any worry for him it felt like.
@@RickQuemado I mostly blame Pedersen for that, blew himself up staying 15 seconds ahead with no help.
MvdP still had to dig deep to win.
Can you at least give to commentator some coffee or something....please? zzzz
I gotta get some of that good bread and water to maximize all my marginal gains. Are we saying this out loud yet?
Genetics
Boring.
the most boring flanders ever. was always gunna be with no real competition
