Miraculously I do actually know who Wout Van Aert is... I'll try not to be so deadpan next time

MVP is set to he such a legend one day

Thanks!

The numbers are quite mind blowing, how in the world does this guy have those kind of matches left?!! Great video as usual LR.. congratulations on growing numbers!🚴‍♂️

That bandera pole so good

lantern rouge the type of guy to urinate sitting down. Great vid

Best cycling channel ever!

Amazing to suddenly come across this video to see myself as a spectator at the Dutch National Championships .The Dutch track was at Mathieu's home area. The track is very familiar to Mathieu . He took that hill sprint arrival many times before as that hill is also part of the cyclo cross in Hoogerheide every year (the village where Mathieu's father was born) . The finish is quite steep for a dutch road allthough that road at the finish is not that old) . I think that those factors also helped a bit as Mathieu knows every inch of that track and the other riders might have had problems with putting the right balanced effort into that sprint since the finishline is just after a uphill bend . But still I couldn't believe my eyes that Mathieu delivered such a powerful sprint as he had all ready been in a small breakaway group for quite a long distance just before that sprint during that same race.

This guy's eyes are so red like the Combative jersey.

You are a good commentator. Do you aspire to go pro?

Is pushing other riders legal?

I have binged on loads of your posts super stuff well done very enjoyable.

wout van aert V Van der poel aelfstedenronde 2017

3:44 is just crazy

I bought a Circus Correndon bike kit for myself!

You should have mentioned in the Dutch championships he was in the attack almost entire day and still won the sprint.

Glad I found your channel!

Is that hand push allowed? Seems weird to me.

Djamolidine Abdoujaparov!

Not wanting to promote other channels but just saw this nlcameras.info/wiki/n6KqcpywqaKum6w/video and djeez, vdPoel is really in a league of his own!

Shave your chest Lanterne

MVDP is not a human being

"Wout van Aert, not sure if he ever made it to the World tour???"

MTB big torque lower cadence you find cross it’s higher cadence sprint, they compliment each other which only benefits road finishes

I watched Amstel Gold Race live 2019 and I have never seen such an ability before. Unfortunately he cracked last WC in England but I guess there is still a lot to expect from this young fella!

I've only just started following your race analysis and I think they're pretty damn good! You're in the wrong part of the world for your trade mate, you should be up here in Europe doing some serious English commentary on cycling (besides the Belgiums the overall commentary level is pretty dismal). One thing though.., you should work on the pronunciation of the names! (Van der Poel = the th in Mathieu is pronounced like a T and Poel is pronounce like (swimming)POOL). Hardly any of the English commentary put in the effort and I never understand why! I'm sure you can do better. Best of luck with the coming season.(BTW check out the cross-cycling this winter, interesting development with some road cyclist doing their winter training in the mud. I'm sure they've noticed MvdP ;-))

i need an egan bernal power data video NEOW

Ahh, he's Adri's son. He was also a top cyclocross competitor and classic rider.

I don't even care much about cycling at this point, used to like 10-15 years ago. But I'm here for the pure enjoyment of listening to someone who really knows their stuff and goes full bore deep analysis on something. There is FAR too little of this at the moment in the world, if this was a knitting channel I might have to give that a go - keep it up, it's really brilliant :)

1:06 "not the best sprinters in the world" 10 seconds later you see Peter Sagan in the background. or is that not him?

i think, that he will stay at Coredon Circus

Van der poel will stay with corenden circus for at least another 2 yeas due to a signed contract however as corendon circus are replacing katusha as the new canyon sponsored world tour team he will likely stay on until a team like ineos wants him

Is it normal that he can use his hands on another rider? Especially in a sprint....

Is P.Sagan is better than Him?

I hope MVDP will go to a team (or stay where he’s at) where he can continue what he wants to be doing, riding three disciplines on the top. That makes him the biggest star in current cycling there is no other rider who does anything close to it... (PFP did it in the women’s field years ago.)

So is there any advantages on how his arm moves when sprinting? As it’s very CX like and why do CX sprint that way?

Man, you really need to change your way to speak on the mic, I have to watch more than two times your analysis videos because the way you speak makes me sleep. Really :( . Your analysis and research is one of the best I'm following, congrats. Cheers from Ubatuba - Brazil!

egan please!!! Also if you could do more van der poel stuff, that would be amazing. Thanks for the great content☺

the reason Vanderpole can sprint long is Vo2 capacity

He will go to Quickstep

Muy buen análisis...

sure make the Egan analisis, but am not sure if is gonna be in the same type of aproach this video can be skiped or trimed 5 minutes and explains perfect how MVDP power and habilities works. just saying. keep the good job LR

Sprinting for 10+ seconds might be really cool in some cases, but remember that you can easily lose some wins, if you keep sprinting this way. Just look at Alexander Kristoff, who does it as well, but many sprinters robbed him for wins just because he started sprinting too early and others just have more power for shorter sprints or can time it absolutely perfect. Plus, Mathieu Van Der Poel still can't beat such a powerful sprinters like Dylan Groenewegen, because he's not only a sprinter like him and doesn't have problems, when there's a little climb on the route.

Today is the Worlds. A sprint between Sagan and MvdP would be epic!

Hey mate, Please can you consider doing an analysis of Cadel's 2011 tour de France win, it might be a few episodes, but it was an incredible race. A breakdown of the key moments, climbs and tactics would be awesome

Can you look at bartoli liege 97

7 mind in when this LR how long ago

He should go to Jumbo-Visma

thats what happens when you took CX, you could nail MTB nor RB

Van der Poel's balance is uncanny.

one of the greatest talents we have seen on a bicycle in a decade. The bike appears to be an extension of his body, great harmony between rider and wheels.

I still can't believe what he did in Amstel Gold. Superhuman.

Just thought I'd say he's done it again Tour of Britain stage 4

A new young generation is standing up with all their own specialities. Mathieu van der Poel a powerful long sprinter. Wout van Aert a rider always at the front. Remco Evenepoel a young rider with already great wins. Egan Bernal a fantastic climber and Tadey Pogacar the Slovenia talent. The excitement in the next years of the cycling sport is guaranteed. With these technical analyses it gives more information how powerful some riders are. Curious of one of these riders will be the next World champion. I hope it will be Mathieu cause he plays with all the cycling rules and has an exploding finish sprint.

*_Uphill sprint more than 30 seconds!_* Check link below. Thank you so much for that overhead shot of the Dutch Champs sprint!!! I have been searching for it and couldn't find it. How he "gently" pushes the other rider is just unbelievable! That was about the first time we saw his power on the road. And he had been very active that day so used a lot of energy. I have been watching almost every MvdP race since I can remember. Also the cyclocross and MTB. Have you also seen all his MTB races this year? In most cases MvdP destroys the only competition in the last lap. In Nove Mest Czech Rep. he sprinted away uphill for more then 30 seconds! You see him sprint for 15 seconds and then the camera loses him for some seconds and MvdP returns still sprinting. I wonder if he sat down when he was off camera. What do you think? I think it's almost easier to keep sprinting out of the saddle instead of having to get out of the saddle again for 10 seconds. Check out the link below to that full race. Just magic! Just after 1h38mins MvdP sprints uphill for more than 30 seconds with a 12.7kg bike. And he has an immediate gap of around 15 seconds! Enjoy! Maybe better to start watching a lap earlier at around 1h30mins. www.redbull.com/int-en/events/uci-mtb-world-cup-nove-mesto-live-stream/live/AP-1XH4Y6XW91W11

Fabulous analysis and collection of footage! You are an absolute pro and great to listen to. Many thanks for this coverage!

Can you do one on Wout van Aert please!

are stiff arms legal in cycling?

You should definitely check out this movie also: nlcameras.info/wiki/noyYYHmAsHSwrY4/video MVDP shooting a little rock riding 40km/u

Why was your Remco Evenpoel video privated? Best (and most interesting) cycling video analysis I’ve watched in a while... 😢

I think, the next 2 years he stays with core Don, after that he will go to Jumbo-visa, just like Wout van Aert

Stumbled on your channel, watched the video, liked what you brought to the table. Enjoyed the analysis a great deal. You have a new subscriber 👍

If he had a team that made him a strong launch train inside the peloton, then it would be hard for me to believe he couldn't win every sprint.

There is actually a chrome addon that shows NP on strava, strava sauce. VDP NP in amstel was 356, for 6hr30 - finishing at 900w for 40s.

Great video! Channel definitely deserves more subscribers👌🏼👌🏼

Bora H maybe

Excellent commentary... educational..learned a lot.. team Ineos or Movistar

You can literally become a grand tour commentator.

That ability to push the guy with one hand will sprinting at 1200 watts also indicates amazing handling skills, also something you get from cross and MTB.

10k subs already... you're gonna be up there soon man keep it up!

Interesting video, thanks for posting. It's a pity you couldn't use the clip from the Amstel Gold race.

Great video. I think Canyon will do all they can to keep him, not sure if they are going to sponsor another team after Katusha but that would have been my bet for his next team.

Like the videos. Thanks!

Too much low-end EQ and air popping in the mic.

Katusha is going to switch sponsorship and form a new team which Canyon will run. Mvdp will be their lead rider

Man you're so dry you actually had me fooled for a few seconds about Van Aert 🤣

Roger de vlaemink won roubaix 4 times. Won all 5 monuments and was cyclocross superstar rider back in merckx days ,maertans, there's similarities. Merckx always said de vlaemink was only classics rider to have accelerations nobody could follow. Rick van looy said best classics rider of generation. MVDP looks similar

he is definitely going to stay with Canyon

Where do you get all the footage from? I can't find most of the races I look for unless they're highlights :)

Mvdp fairly recently signed a deal with Canyon, so whatever team he goes to surely has to be riding Canyon

If wout van aert is sprinting he need also to go earlier then others, holds his power also way longer than the average sprinter. If you look at the sprint with vs viviani in the tour de france, or these in the dauphine.

Fabio Jakobsen actually did something similar recently, pushed someone out of the way mid-sprint and still won. He did get disqualified though. It was in the third stage of the tour of Poland.

Could you do a video of Strade Bianche 2019? Love your content :D

Dumoulin + Jumbo Visma favorites for TdF 2020? 3. With Dumoulin switching to Jumbo Visma, seems to me they have an insanely talent packed team and are the only team to have as much, if not more potential than team Ineos, even if only on paper. What are your thoughts on that and how do you think they will deal with having 3 GC men (Dumoulin, Kruiswijk and Roglic). With support from the likes of Kruiswijk, Bennet, Van Aert, Laurens de plus, and TT specialists jos van emden and tony martin along with Van Aert again, and Dumoulin himself, I see Dumoulin as the favorite to win the tour next year. And then may be Roglic has a stab at the Giro again himself or do you think he will want to leave the team??

MVP vs Bernal/Van Aert/Evenepoel etc.... 2. It seems to me there is a new generation of young talent coming up that is going to dominate in a few years to come with Bernal (22 years old), MVP (24), van aert (24)and Evenepoel (19). Do think that is right? Do you think I am missing anyone? And which of them do you think has the most potential to dominate the GCs of the grand tours?

Corendon Circus and Katusha will get toghter for next year.

Given I've now found this channel, I have a couple of questions that I'd love to hear your thoughts on if you want to comment or even make a video. Also curious to hear other's thoughts. Will post each one separately to keep the threads on each topic separate.... MVP to win GC at TdF?? 1. given MVPs performance, age and potential, do you think MVP is a shoe-in for a grand tour GC win (or several), or do you think his weight and style might not be best suited for a long 3 week tour with extended periods in the high alps above 2000m in the TdF for instance. Perhaps similar to alaphilippe's short comings in this years tour (though some might argue it was also due to lack of team support)?

Hardly see content like yours where true cycling fans love to dissect, keep it going LR and hopefully you can stand next to Brad Wiggins on Eurosport 👍

keep it coming mate. great analysis. and as you can tell from the comments, you are clearly given the fans what they want!

WHAT? You're not sure if Wout van Aert every made it to the World Tour scene.

Bernal training data would be great

Would love to see the Bernal power analysis!! Great vid again!

Can you do wout van aert

sorry but I disagree on the Sprint in the Min 3:00-4:15, he is NOT in the wrong side. He was on the side where the shorter way is for the last 2 corners.

Cyclo cross riders really know how to get the power down, good job again mate.

I recon he will go to Movistar

Great video. Egan Bernal power data analysis please!

Man, could you beautifully elaborate a power data analysis of Richard Carapaz at the giro the Italy 2018/2019 ? cheers !!

Yes on Bernal! I was checking for files from the Tour de France but I never saw him upload anything past July 4 I think. If you’re going to do an analysis on his training block I’d love to see it. Unfortunately a few of my friends and I use that term lightly we’re going around talking about doping again here’s the thing from what I’ve seen you post 5.8 w/kg is not a ridiculous number During the heyday of EPO 6.7 W/kg was a magic number I think.

Yes to Egan Bernal power analysis!! One of these TV stations needs to hire you, man. GREAT stuff!
