No mention of the wettest, muddiest Paris to Ancaster race in decades? C'mon… it was epically brutal.
🎉Giro hype is real!!!
No way was that chainring tightened correctly
jeeze the selling has just gone over the edge. I don't mind the information it is just going on a bit much. More respect for what you are doing, that is positive, if you just don't over do the hype and sell. It just takes too long.
Where is jumbo visma?
he is like Fernando Scuduria🔥🔥
Great analysis. Gaviria is really good in riding through gaps that are only there for a split second.
Bolt's not long enough…..🤦♂️
I believe that the cat was killed with an air rifle. Not that that excuses anything.
When I see Gaviria go long I always remember his Paris-Tours win of 2016, where he sprinted for 40 seconds straight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5nPQLOCOZk
Dan made this fantastic pitch for gcn+ 2 years ago. I'm a very pleased subscriber since then not having to hint down local TV stations across Europe.
The nibali portrait, best video so far. Buy bunch sprints? Always found them soooo boring. One trick ponyes plus you can never see who won! Next worst category, Team Time Trials. But the show must go on…. 😂
Nothing about the world gravel series??
Unpopular opinion: Soudal Quick-Step is a GC team now.
4:43 that is Jakobsen in 2nd. Knucklehead!
Chris Froome secured top 100!!
Dan, great focus on Gaviria. He is one of my favorite sprinter !!!
Gavira with an intelligent move, the skills and power to back it. Also, he should be the one winning here.
2:20 minutes of race news and 13:00 minutes of buy our stuff or else…
While I was impressed by Gaviria's LONG sprint, Cavendish had one of those last year and didn't rack up too much after that. Lack of Giro competition could help – are there enough fairly flat sprint stages? He was just lucky his team pulled him back after being dropped on those two climbs.
Great work, Adam Yates! Fortunately, it was a Tour of Super Domestiques and Up-and-Comers, so we had great competition w/o one of the Four Horsemen coming in and crushing everybody.
Masterful Racing News work, Dan 👍
It looks like Gaviria's drive/instinct came back from a very long holiday. Great to see!
Perfection. As always. Thank you, Dan.
"killed a cat with a shotgun" – not a phrase I was expecting on a cycling channel.
"codswallop" is the most english word I've ever heard 😂
I always remember reading Robbie McEwen in his autobiography that most sprinters don't start sprinting until they can see a finish line, no matter how close or far away the finish line might be. So he often used to try (and regularly succeed) at what Gaviria did. Starting his sprint before the final corner because the other sprinters won't have started yet.
Movistar got lucky that Gaviria got his sprinting awesome than back then UAE 4-year stint. Jorgenson has a big engine for himself and finish runner-up. He got abilities in coming years also with Americans Powless and Sheffield. He will have Kuss to help him in TJV next year. TJV need a rider like him as good as Roglic coming his age soon.
Which team has the nest lead out train at the moment?
Wallop
