- Today marks the final mountain stage of the race and the final opportunity for the climbers to gain time ahead of the final TT. Despite only a few appearances, the climb of Hautacam has achieved a legendary status due to the performances of Bjarne Riis and Vincenzo Nibali. Who will add to its legacy today?

Vingegaard’s exceptional sportmanship in full display during Pogacar’s fall 🤜🤛
Unwritten rule in cycling that you don't attack on a crash. If you are going to win, you are going to win man to man. If you win by taking advantage of such instances, you didn't really win.
agree
@@Joshua-dx7zn yes but I can promise you, that half the riders wouldnt wait like that
@@bumlebetter900 You assume they wouldn't wait. Assumptions are not facts. The question is, would you wait?
@@sorellman pogacar didn’t wait when vingegaard was about to crash
Jonas is a class act, so glad he waited with sportsmanship. In the end it eliminates any questions, and hey one person can't beat a team, just how it works. Nice to know some people do the right thing because it's the right thing.
it was nice, for sure, but he would have been caught by Pogacar anyway. Definitely engendered him good will.
I just wish he'd put down his phone as Pogacar comes round to congratulate him. I mean - no matter who's on the other end, I wish he'd demonstrate the respect to pardon himself, set the phone aside and fully acknowledge Pogacar's congratulations. sheesh. Twice he's done it. I'll be shocked if Pogacar ever makes that effort again. "Why bother? He's on some far more important phone call-!"
@@ollietsb1704 dude chill out
@@ollietsb1704 He was already calling with his gf probably. Tadej can also wsit until he's done calling. Interrupting is rude🤔
@@ollietsb1704 Probably talking to a loved one after he won a stage and clinched his the Tour de France. Inexcusable, right?
I really like the fight, the respect and the sportsmanship of these two guys. Van Aert is not from this world. What a Tour for him
Agreed - Wout's workrate will go down as the stuff of legends
Fucking unbelievable!
Iff you all think that he did this natural........🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No one could hold his wheel on the flats earlier in the stage and then he matched it with the best climbers later. Incredible.
Jan van Dijck: why did WVA didn't win the stage when I read your reaction ???
Best TDF in years.
Vingegaard and Pogacar's rivalry and respect for eachother is on another level. Both are true champions and we are in for a treat the coming years 👍
The one Bernal won was a good one as well, with Alaphilippe nearly making it.
If one looks at them as teammates, then they REALLY did the evil to Thomas and all the rest lol.
Thomas is 8 mins back in 3rd and 4th+ are 11+ minutes back. That is a HUGE margin.
Really tells the story of all the people that got flat out murdered in the battle between Vingegaard and Pogacar.
Agreed. It would be great to see the rivalry continue where neither can truly dominate the other.
The best TDF are where Hautacam are played in like last in 2014 where nibali dominated the Tour
I agree. Best TDF in years!! What a very impressive show of sportsmanship and respect on behalf of Vingegaard today!!! A TRUE champion and gentleman!! For some reason I feel that Pogi would NOT have done what he did today. Something tells me Pogi would have continued descending at speed. I could be wrong but we will never know. I'm old school and believe in the old school ways and you should not attack on a mechanical or a crash BUT part of me also feels like if you crash on a descent on YOUR OWN it is YOUR OWN fault therefore it is OK to continue at speed. I'm honestly a bit torn about this one but I'm just not sure Pogi would have done the same. I feel he would have continued descending at speed.
The perfect stage from TJV.....and WvA is just something else this Tour.....
@@Dani-yy8kx if you make such statements i hope you got proof to back that up?
WVA is the Hulk. That's why he's in Green 😀
@@Dani-yy8kx Everybody’s doping.
@@Dani-yy8kx kind of a sad way to look at sports.....
They are not doping
Wout van Aert could very well take over from Schwarzenegger in the next Terminator movie.
Glad to see that Vingegaard stopped to wait. Good sportsmanship. Haven’t been able to watch much of this year’s TdF but it’s been a good one. Seems like a lot of the stages had a very speedy pace. Can’t wait to see them ride the Champs Elysee. 🚴🚴🚴
You sure missed out on a gigantic battle between the two best - by far. What a Tour it has been. Wow!
@@eilifnrgaard4855 best i can remember
You don’t leave your druggie mate behind. Enuff said...
Drugs youth drugs make it speedy...
well he took pogacars soul, he prooved that he can beat him fair and square and he did that in emphatic fashion!
Vingegaard waiting for his crashed competitor was simply amazing - I wish all mankind would act in such a manner!
Its a Danish thing
Just for the note : Van Aert has already spent more than 800 km (!) in breakaways since the begin of TdF. It's so unreal, especially considering he's wearing the green jersey. That man is out of this world
Its called doping.
@@PhiyackYuh you are called jealous
@@PhiyackYuh maybe. Only him knows for sure anyway, contrary to me... or you
WvA. A man, a machine, greater than the sum of the parts. What an honour to watch the TDF. JV and TP the epitome of sportsmanship and respect. This should be shown in all schools and sports training camps as the highest standard to aspire to.

Wout Van Aert is unreal. What a man
hope he wins the next 3 stages - will be a just reward for the incredible work he has put in for the team!
I like Wout and his ways very much, can,t wait to see him playing in the mud during cyclone cross season.
People said that about Lance!
@@isitrachelorj3953 So your point being Lance poisoned cycling forever?? And any rider who rides exceptionally is a cheat? Myself, I'm a little less cynical and will enjoy until there's ACTUAL evidence to show doping.
@@iamcruzing I agree. I don't accuse any rider of doping unless there is EVIDENCE and PROOF of it but something is very suspect with these guys. The problem lies with WADA and their protocol, testing and techniques. Until then I will enjoy every bit of these races!!
Man! This years Tour de France really restored my faith in humanity! Class act of sportmanship! Well deserved win.
Until they will get caught for doping 🙂😒
@@christianwold Exactly these two have been tested the most because when you have the yellow jersey you are getting tested every day. So You’re accusations are ridiculous!!!
@@denmark2680 well might be, but i guess they also tested the yellow jersey previous years and yet some years they indeed were doped

@@savagepro9060 EXACTLY!! And he didn't admit till years later. Actually he inky just publicly came out and admitted in Oprah interview just 2 or 3 years ago and only reason he did was because he got told on by teammate
I can’t believe what I watched today, absolutely the best display of sportsmanship I’ve seen in my almost 40 years on this planet. This TDF has delivered beyond expectation, I’m so pumped for the final stages. Win lose or draw for anyone it’s us the fans who have won. Bravo cycling.

Probably one of the best editions of Tour de France ever. The GC excitement, the sportsmanship and obvious mutual respect between great athletes, the passion of the crowd. Marvellous stuff!
All these people saying "the tour is over, nothing left to see. It's just going to be boring"😂🤣 CLEARLY they are not true cycling fans. We have not seen a battle like this in probably 40 years. Every year is a great TOUR but this year's edition has been the MOST EXCITING TDF in many years
Cheers to Vignegaard on pretty much solidifying yellow. Though without a doubt, Wout Van Aert is the most impressive man in this tour. He’s 1 of 1
Facts!!
What even IS Wout van Aert, I kept laughing in disbelief every time the cameras showed him climbing in the breakaway! Seriously, TJV played this stage to perfection, complete with Vingegaard being a total class act on that descent
Literally, never seen green jersey doing so great in climbs!
Look at Mark Cavendish last year and Jakobsen this year, they struggle so much.
Im not sure Wout Van Aert is human. I wouldnt be suprised if he goes in a breakaway tomorrow
I don't accuse any rider of doping unless there is EVIDENCE and PROOF of it but something is very suspect with these guys.
@@kenkaniff8428 You like conspiracy theories don't you?
@@justaguyonabike2055I have no idea why you ask but the answer is NO, I can't stand conspiracy theories on any level
Pogacar's and Vingegaard's fair rivalry is a message for us all - when in a spot of trouble and someone is there to help even if it might inconvenience them, the kind gesture can benefit the futures of both down the proverbial road.
This tour has been so on the edge. Great racing. Great teamwork. Great sportsmanship.

All the feels from witnessing Pog and Vingegaard show each other such respect. Stupendous tour this year. 🙏🏻
Would have liked to see WvA win the stage and the mountains classification. Feel like deserved this win as a reward for all the hard work he put in for the team the last couple of weeks. A rider winning both the green Jersey by a small 500 points AND the polka dot jersey in the same tour, is unprecedented in modern day cycling.
Last time was Eddy Merckx
So good to see the unwritten rules of competition in action, sportsmanship at its finest, very uplifting.
Congrats to the Great Dane and the whole Jumbo Visma team.
Salut!👏👏👏
This has been one of the best tours for a while. Loved every minute of it. Great sportsmanship!
WvA is the future of cycling, hopefully we continue to see more versatile riders like him in the future.
He isn't a gc contender
More like sagan style
@@user-vb2bt9kh1p would Sagan have dropped pogacar on 1 of the steepest climbs of this tour?
Sagan is a all time great but I don't recall him ever finishing in the top 3 of a climbing stage at the end of the tour, even in his prime. @@user-vb2bt9kh1p
@@freeklommelen6095 Pog wasn't dropped
Just gave up as he saw he couldnt shake off Jonas and close the time gap of 2:18 with a flat stage and TT left
@@QuietLurker thats true:)
Wow.. a Sprinter that can Climb with the best! Van Aert never stops to seriously impress me.
We don't call him a sprinter in Belgium. Like Tom Boonen, he is fast because he is so powerful but more than a sprinter for sure. A pure sprinter does beat him on a flat stage most likely (Jakobsen,Groenewegen)
Didn't you learn anything from the past......?
A sprinter 1.90 tall and almost 80 kg climbs like a gemsbok?
We are all being cheated again, and this never stops.
@@janvandijk4432 you got that right!
@@janvandijk4432 the ones who race cyclocross seem like they are able to maintain a longer burst of power, as demo'd by WVA and MVDP, so they can do a mix of sprinting and climbing.
@@VIEultimate Mark my words, this team just have the best dope, they are one step ahead of everybody and in a few years, the truth wil come out.
Like always.
Vingegaard was waiting Pogacar while Tadej was catching up... Enormous respect and applauses!
I don't know if it's the time I grew up in but the image at 3:20 is unbelieveable! I grew up with green jersey holders like Robbie McEwen struggling up the mountains and arriving just inside the time limit to maintain the jersey. Wout van Aert is a machine! It appears he can do everything. I hadn't watched the TdF in years until this years edition and from the highlights on GCN it appears one of the best editions ever
WVA can Sprint, Classics, TT, Climb, except....
GC Contend.
last year he won Mont Ventoux, a sprint stage and a time trial, too.
this year he won the Green jersey for himself plus the Yellow for his team.
he is special.
Even had a chance on the dotted jersey if he would have won the stage and depending on how the rest finished. He's still 5th there aswell.
@@nemlas85 yes he is but IF ONLY he could GC Contend then we'd have another Eddy.
@@andyz3925 I heard views that he could, by forgetting cyclocross, dropping several kilos, and training specifially for long range climbing. but he is not interested, doesn't want to change his lifestyle drastically.
Amazing display of sportsmanship and respect to allow Pogacar to catch up and resume his position after a spill. Vingegaard could have picked up at least another minute if he had continue to ride. At the end Vingegaard wants to win as a gentleman instead of taking advantage of some misfortune... If the world could follow such gentlemanly, respectful sportsmanship -then the world would be in a more peaceful coexistence.. Maybe politicians could take note of how Vingegaard Danish value on humility, fairness, respect, honor could rule humanity. Fabulous example for youngsters to follow suit

@@kenkaniff8428 at the end of the day, true sportsmanship and fair competitor would have waited. Although crashing is one's own mistake, but to allow Pogacar to regain his position will be one of the best example of gentlemanly ultimate sportsmanship.
@@chaoyoong9987 I agree completely but I'm just not sure Pogi would have done the same for Vingegaard tho
I love seeing riders wait ESPECAILLY when their rivals didn't wait for them. I think Tom Dumoulin waited for Nairo Quintana in the Giro few years ago even after Nairo and his team refused to wait for him. Hat's off to Vingegaard!
TJV has a fantastic culture and vibe - allround great bunch of guys
Did the opposite happen, where Pogacar dident wait?
@@Alpehuedk Hard to tell if it was just timing or what but when Vingegaard's wheels almost went out from under him on the descent and he had to unclip, Pogacar launched an attack. You could argue that he couldn't see him but you could also argue that he could hear him. He was definitely trying to put the pressure on and hoping for Vingegaard to make a misstep.
@@Alpehuedk They said in the video that Pogacar attacked. Maybe he just didn't see him.
@@RyanNordle I agree, he may have just not seen it
What a great sportmanship shown by Vingegaard! Salute!
I am 50 years old, i follow the Tour de France since i m a kid and i can t remember a better one and most exciting than this one.., just breathtaking thanks to Pogacar, Vinjegaard and van Aert 👍💪
What a tour. This rivalry between Pog and Jonas has it all. Respect, sportsmanship and panache. It’s been a joy to watch and long may it continue in years to come.
Wout Van Aert also proving that Superman is real, what a day and what a tour from him. Amazing stuff!
What a stage. What a race. Best TdF in years. So many stories. Grand Depart in Denmark, Magnus Cort (including stage win) Mads Pedersen dropping Ganna and Küng, Hugo Houle, (💔❤) Pogacar attacking again and again, Jumbo Visma team spirit, UAE team spirit, Grenon, Hautacam, Little Jonas dropping one of the best riders of all time TWICE. And much more. Fantastic stuff.
Simon Geschke in the Polka Dot Jersey has to be mentioned ;) great ride from him, sadly didn't work out.
@@nordictalking2487 Im hoping, they will give him Super Combatif in Paris, he defo earned it, but he isnt French....
@@dfuher968 Yeah, I hope so. Maybe they can give the award to him because he rides for a french team. And he lives in Freiburg (dunno the englisch name), not fare away of the german-french border
I feel like im dreaming. A fairytale....
@@dfuher968 that award will go to Wva.
Jonas Vingegaard!!👏👏💪💪🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 And what an outstanding performance from his team as well, specially Van Eart👏👏💪
Best Tour in many years.
First time I see one of my countrymen winning in my lifetime. 🇩🇰
The sportsman ship, wow, respect, well deserved, amazing athletes all of them
è da quando ero bambino che non vedevo una tappa del genere. che spettacolo, roba da anni 90. complimenti a tutti, ai ciclisti, ai tecnici, ai medici.
GCN does stage highlights so much better than its competitors. Just need to point that out. What a great video!
watch lanterne rouge, he is exceptional too
Other than Lanterne Rouge.
@@jsclimber91 lantern rouge is much better and he has really good insight but I do like GCN aswell.
Even better than the official TdF channel.
So fantastic that they didnt even show Pogi's biggest attack of the day 🤥
Wow van Aert 💪
Wow.. They waited for each other.. Never seen one like that
OMG ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BOTH, GREAT HONORABLE CHAMPIONS🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Another Danish connection in this year's TdF: Tomorrow's stage ends in Cahors, which is the place of the ancestors of the prince consort of Denmark, who died a few years ago.
That was the embodiment of sportsmanship. He deserves to win the tournament just on that.
Never ever seen such an outstanding sportsmanship.Gentlemen and friends
Amazing Job Jumbo Visma, greats sportsmanship and a terrific performance by Wout, third ahead of all GC guys, what a beast.
Vingegaard. Pure class...the best this year and Pogacar knows it. Hope to these two do battle again next year as this year's Tour has been fantastic....great rivalry and seem to be friends.
Woow,Vingegaard slowing down to wait for a crashed Poga is the most sportsmanship scene ever in the history of the tour, what a tactical masterclass by Jumbo Visma,Van Aert was massive, Jonas was amazing
Meh, he had no reason time-wise to accelerate and he needed someone to rotate pulls to save energy. Accelerating would have been the most foolish move in the entire race.
Best stage of the tour so far!!!!!!
Parece que Vingegaard liquidou a fauta. Mais do que merecido pois alem de ser um atleta excepcional mostrou um caráter extraordinário. Parabéns ao virtual vencedor do TDF.
This is the way competitors should behave. Mighty impressive character in these guys.
Dare I say, greatest TDF in recent memory?
Vingegaard is such an inspiration! And yes, the entire tour has been full of amazing feats and sportsmanship. Just what we needed in these dark times....
All these people saying "the tour is over, nothing left to see. It's just going to be boring"😂🤣 CLEARLY they are not true cycling fans. We have not seen a battle like this in probably 40 years. Every year is a great TOUR but this year's edition has been the MOST EXCITING TDF in many years
A Great DANE! 1st Class Sportsmanship!👍🚴🚴🇩🇰
Has a participant in the 1984 Olympic Road Race, I am happy with the level of competition in this year's Tour De france. Great sportsmanship, family-like togetherness in the peloton. I am enjoying the race.
so happy for Vingegaard but Geschke … 😭
Yeah, I felt really bad for him, he especially and his entire team worked so hard for it. Maybe they will give him the Super Combatif in Paris? Even if he isnt French....
@@dfuher968 That might be a nice consolation prize for him although there should be no doubt the Super Combatif should go to Wout van Aert. I've never seen anything like it. He's been everywhere. Dominating.
tour over vinegar good on T T.-- when tour of estonia primoz champ supported. by vinegard..only accident hope not..
..
And Geschke will have to wear the Polka Dot jersey for the next three stages with Vingegaard in yellow ...
I feel bad for Geschke. He was closing gaps trying to make it to the getaway group, but not a teammate in sight to help him. All he needed was 4 th place on d'Aubisque.
Incredible sportsmanship
Wow that sportmanship makes the win even more deserved!
he deserve to be the KOM..stage 11 and stage 18 the highest elevation on tour he won💪😎💪..salute jonas..grats..see u next year poga..😁
Great news is that they are both super young, so this battle can go on and on for years!
@@barath4545 yes we hope so...and its very interesting to watch🤩
Il y a longtemps qu'on n'a pas vu comme cette étape , wout van eart a mis une bonne touche au tour de France.
Now i can agree with Roglic that Wout is half motor half human
I think he's full motor m8! 😄
What a pleasure to see sportsmanship!
What a ride this years TdF has been! Best in years.
I look forward to see pogacar and vingegaard fight it out the next years to come!! This years tour have been amazing.
Vinegegaard deserves the yellow. What an exciting battle man. Absolute entertainment
Super awesome he waited !
Jonas and Poga are not just amazing riders, but also amazing humans, great athletes and so much respect for each other. These two guys are just the best of the best, high-class sportsmanship and the best talent. I am so thankful and lucky to being able to see the best riders the Tour the France has have in 100yrs and I am not exaggerating, just look at the time gaps in the GC contenders WoW.
Van Aert wow what a beast man, he is an alien 👽
What a great sportsmanship,
His code of conduct shows why this is the world’s most beautiful sport
Wow! I never expected this stage to finish like this. Pogacar is human after all. But great to see he and Vingegaard are friendly and respect each other & sportsmanship. And van Aert rode the stage of his career! Excellent TDF this year, and I really appreciate these highlight videos, as I just don't have the time to watch full stages anymore like I could back in the 1980s and 90s.
That was a class act for Vingegaard to wait for Pogacar.
YESSSS !!!! great race, great athletes, good coverage.
Love all amazing GUY of TdF, what an incredible effort to get the every stage. RESPECT Guys❤
Wow. Green jersey leading yellow jersey green was stunning. What a day.
Pogacar essentially a good domestique for Jonas. Jonas is clever but gentleman indeed.
What a great TDF this year.
Rooting for TJV, the teamwork and sportsmanship is amazing! Excited to see Geraint’s TT 👀
What a race but how about my discipline avoiding spoilers until this video dropped!
I know the pain. I ignored all other cycling vids until GCN TdF Highlights pops up.
@@mikoy1979 which IMO is equally as impressive to what WVA did today 👏🏼
TJV guys were awesome today, super happy for them, keep up the momentum guys.
Nice to see a nice guy not finish last
BEST SPORTSMANSHIP MOMENT EVER!!!!!!!!
Great battle, great sportsmenship! That's why I love cycling so much!!
My god what a stage what a tour!!👍👍👍such great racing from everyone
What a winner
Crazy TdF so far, really digging it. Glad to see TJV finally having some success albeit I was hoping for Roglic to get his redemption. WvA is too strong, but a bit disappointed that VdP isn't there to challenge on some of these punchy stages.
You really think that VDP can challenge WVA in a three weeks grand Tour?
@@dirk2518 As I said, in some of the punchy stages.
It would never have been possible for Roglic to win he’s not close to Vingegaards level when they have to climb for real, but to help the team he would have been important. I like Roglic too and he’s a world class rider, but i don’t believe that he’s good enough to win the TDF not as long there is a Vingegaard and Pogacar!!!
Roglic had his redemption, he helped his teammate beat Pogacar...
What a tour! VIVA LE TOUR!!
Jumbo Visma added 3 more jerseys to their already nicely designed masterpiece jerseys.
An amazing stage and great sportsmanship from both champions.
Thanks for posting.
These Two 💛
WvA is really something. The greatest domestique if I may say. Going for the attack, then pull Jonas in the climb, and finish 3rd? And he ain't even a full climber🔥 He's an absolute beast.
I thought Wout had burned way too much way too soon in every stage of the Tour. Especially today. Boy, was I wrong. My goodness, he's amazing.
Almost as if he knew a secret technique or had a secret supplement that gave him "alien" super powers. HMMMM?
Jonas Vingengaard...total class
Class act from vin chooses to fight it out rather than going ahead, he’s been sticking to pog like glue nice strategy from him
Absolute class. Just became a big fan.
An excellent race..both man is amazing...showing a lot of sportmanship...
Really good sportsmanship by Vingegaard after Pogacar‘s fall. Nevertheless it was probably the nail in the coffin of Pogacar‘s dreams to win the tour once more. However if we are realistic the chances were already very slim after yesterday and Vingegaard was incredible.
What a very impressive show of sportsmanship and respect on behalf of Vingegaard today!!! A TRUE champion and gentleman!! For some reason I feel that Pogi would NOT have done what he did today. Something tells me Pogi would have continued descending at speed. I could be wrong but we will never know. I'm old school and believe in the old school ways and you should not attack on a mechanical or a crash BUT part of me also feels like if you crash on a descent on YOUR OWN it is YOUR OWN fault therefore it is OK to continue at speed. I'm honestly a bit torn about this one but I'm just not sure Pogi would have done the same. I feel he would have continued descending at speed.
Wout is amazing never seen before !!!
Re-watching this I noticed Vingegaard didn't actually slip on gravel. He put his inside foot down on the turn and caught his toe on the pavement. Even the pros can make a rookie mistake.
Yeah, they were really pushing each other. Jonas rushed the pedalling just a fraction of a second there, and Pog mistimed the turn and made another rookie mistake of trying to turn the wheel while sliding in gravel. Thankfully they both got out of it!
Yes. In this situation, I think not simple rookie-type mistake, but more a demonstration of how close to the edge he and Pog are in competing --- that he's trying to resume pedaling before coming far enough out of that curve.
rookies or pro when you slipped like that , there no more pro b/c accident we never know..
Rookie mistake but absolute Pro legend save though!
True. But he shows that he’s a true professional by saving him self from crashing!!!
Amazing tour
I'm not a stage race guy but this race has genuinely been great, and this stage was mental
first tour in a long time that a team dared to attack. FINALLY
