POV. it's 2024 and you're watching this for the 20th time.
This was the best bike race I have ever ever watched. Incredible MVDP.
One of the best! Insane ride
Same
Full agree. I keep coming back to this one. I watched this at my aunt's birthday party, they always have cycling on in the background during their birthdays as any sunday in april is usually something big on the calendar, and my uncle's birthday is during the Tour de France. Usually, it's just 'there' and all of us casual cycling fans glance at the scree every now and then, but this race was completely different. It was the only time I can remember where we were are glued to the screen all the way until the end.
same but that should really hurts legs for MVDP ! Imagine a 300m sprint after 10km solo.
Well we just had the WC 2023 😂 What about that one……
I keep watching this every now and then. The commentary is almost as beautiful as the victory.
The shot at 3:16 is burned into my memory. After they'd been written off, MVDP pulling on the front, blasting by the camera, Trek rider on last wheel bobbing and weaving just to hang on.
@@josephbikes Agreed. And that last rider looks like Bauke Mollema; it's certainly his bobbing style.
"Van der Poel will at least get a top 10 here well done" --> "Hold my beer!"
What a race, what a rider, what a commentator.
Goosebumps all over the place.
And he’s the world champ now 🔥
"Such a distance to go" with 43kms left is funny to hear just 4 years later
Yeah you'll gonna ride that in 1/2 hrs alone
Pogacar was on the attack for twice as long when he won Amstel this year
@@Robcobes and yet no one will remember pogi's win like they will remember van de poel's win.
@@BertBlanco1962 true but pogi's versatility is incredible, tour de france winner, multiple monument and classics winner.
MvdP started this early attack trend and it surely evolved ;)
Nothing. Nothing will ever better this. The chase, the finish, the commentary. Made mugs of everyone. Amazing.
The greatest one day classic win that I can recall.
Nah, MVDP did well. But the headline should be that Alaphillipe fucked up XD
@@draloalo there's always someone who comes along to say "nah'. Consensus would suggest this was either THE greatest one day race win ever, or very very close to being so.
@@draloalo This is one of those comments where you wish that the negative likes still show up. OF COURSE Alaphillipe and Fuglsang fucked up. But that has nothing to do with the incredible performance which is being showed here..
At the time I thought it was the best bike race final I had ever seen and that hasn't changed. The total confusion towards the end for all those who rode and watched the race contributed to the most amazing finish. It was also the first time we could enjoy the different strategy of a new generation of world class road cyclists - MvdP, WvA and the Pog - who are not afraid to just go for it without being too concerned with conserving energy for the final few kms.
Better Peds, better performante
If that doesn't give you goosebumps then you ain't human
looks like a solid top 10 ride for Van der Poel :D
I mean, he wasn't wrong
5years later I still get goosebumps
Still get chills & pulse racing watching a this replay. Best win from the best rider.... a proud MVDP fan boy!
And now World Champion
The way MVDP won that race is so very rare. An absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you
I still get tears and my heart still pounds even though this is definitely my 20th time watching this
Absolutely love that very moment when the crowd understands that MVDP can actually do it and to see those 5 seconds when the spectators wait in crazy hope before they all burst out of joy in total frenzy. It is like they get a gift of pure irrational glee. Even the people located at the end of the road, who couldn't see the finish, go totally crazy.
And as for MVDP... he comes back like an asteroid with such will and speed. Wonderful to see.
Even the riders are in disbelief. Clark's reaction to finishing second is pure astonishment and respect...
I've been following pro bike racing since 1980, and this had to be one of the greatest finishes I have ever seen. MVDP was super human in his effort.
Same here, since 1980 or so. It was rare in 2019. But in 2023 we have seen especially MvdP do things that are pretty rare in cycling history. 2021 Tirreno....the attack with some food in has hand just went from pole position of that group and they just could never catch him. Ronde van Vlaanderen too. This years Milan San Remo taking on a group of three which are all considered worlds best time trialists and they can not get even a second back on him in stead losing time.
And of course the WC that to my mind was better than the win in Amster Gold '19.
After VDP's finish you can hear the co-commenrator steadily clapping 29 times: he was in absolute awe of what he just witnessed.
Some say Simon Clarke is still in his wheel to this day 🎊
OMG still get goosebumps watching this 😍 What’s mad is how successful MVP has been since this 🤯🤯🤯 sooo yes MVP IS and has been the future of cycling 😃
Oh my goodness! Goosebumps and fast heartbeats! Thanks for making this video! I have seen a shorter version of this, but this tells the whole story better to demonstrate why this comeback is so so so credible!!
I watched that live and had to watch it again three times to realise ... It was phenomenal, what a BEAST.
Nothing but goosebumps! Everything about this brings tears to my eyes. Amazing!
March 2024. Still the greatest victory for MVDP, not the most important but the greatest performance
Every once in a while i come back to this.
Remember seeing this and not believing what i was witnessing. That effort MvdP put in at the last km was the most insane I ever watched in the last 25 yrs in cycling. At 6 km remaining the commentators had even written him off.
No matter how many times I watch this, this final always gives me goosebumps! ❤
My grandfather was born and raised in ww2 Amsterdam, we didn’t connect on much. When he caught wind I enjoyed cycling and watching the classics, we would correspond casually on results. Sometimes I’d message him and he wouldn’t even say anything simply because he wasn’t vested in this mode of communication.
I will forever remember the back to back to back emails that I will never get again of his absolute joy and astonishment of seeing this finish! This finish means more to me than any other. He passed in 2020 he’s my Pou-Pou
I simply subscribe the words of the commentator: "I've never ever seen anything like this in my life".
The best bike race finish I've ever seen and heralded the MVDP era, he's not one for conventional tactics!
5 years after. After watching today’s Amstel, Chapeu to Pidcock (2024). Everyone was talking smack at mvdp finishing 22nd. Weeks after winnng Flanders and Roubaix. People forgot that This. This is still unbelievable.
When I’m feeling bad I watch this video. And my body gets goosebumps everywhere. Never seen a similar power expression
I think this is when I became a true MVPD fan boy. Best finish I'll ever see.
I can and do watch this spectacular finish and MvdP win every day. Never gets old. Chapeau MvdP from one Dutchman to another.
If this doesn't get your heart rate up you're not a cycling race fan.
A very special moment for the sports history books. Well done MVDP, well done Commentator.
I have watched this 4000 times and still i am amazed
Mothers of all roadcycling finishes. By far!
The most incredible and unbelievable fact is when they just had 2.3 km -- and MvdP was in the 3rd group, about 50 (!) seconds behind the leaders !!!
Tomorrow on race day for "Amstel 2024" it will be a different game I am sure.
Because now -- 5 years and 6 Monuments and 1 Worldchampionship and many other great victories later, he is the big favorite !
Omg,this is epic, i only got into cycling a few years ago and mvdp as quickly become my fav. Was in glasgow this year to see him win the worlds, falling, breaking his shoes and winning by the margin he did possibly shades this, (maybe because i wss also there) either way id hsve loved to gave been watching the show when this was on. X
That performance was out of this world.
Still now in 2024 this is still amazing. It goes to one of the roots of cycling does this win, never, ever, ever give up!!!
This must be the best finish ever for a bike race, incredible 👍💪
He shocked the world in the Tour of Flanders before that.
That was one of the greatest performance of modern cycling, beautiful
Special, special moment indeed
Watching live I could see VdP in that white kit and thought “he is closing” and the commentators completely missed it. Unreal how it played out.
It was exactly the same for me. Those white shorts stood out. Even in long shots through the trees, you could make him out up at the front, pulling hard.
The greatest race finish in history, by the only guy in the pro peloton that can get away with wearing white shorts! king MVDP
Incredible win. I hope we have many more years with MVDP in the peloton.
I was there on that day. Will never forget it❤
Even watching this in replay for the 80th time, I still don't think MvdP will be able to win until the last 200m
What a day for cycling history! MvdP!!!
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. There have been plenty of races where he throws the dice, goes all in. Sometimes it doesn't pay of but when it does he created a highlight reel we will talk about for ever. How legends are made.
AFAIK the "Group 3" that was shown as being one minute away from JA and Fuglsang wasn't even MVDP's... he was even farther away at that point.
Whilst it is incredible to watch Tadej and MVDP too now go from 5,000km out and win, this one hits hardest. It was just the most epic race and still gives me chills.
*not that he didn't try here too
This was still the best win of MVDP and one of the moments of the decade.
Many people thought that the time gaps were wrong but they were absolutely right, you can check.
Best bike race I never watched. MVDP for president 🙌
best commentating job ever.
the guys in the booth are elite as well ... very exciting
I didn’t know I could get goosebumps from watching someone ride a bike
This was great
Goosebumps watch n this my respect mvp😊😊
On his best days MVDP is unbeatable
I remember watching that when i had accidentally seen the result. I honestly thought it was a mistake as i was watching it unfold, as i was thinking no way can he win from there. Amazing stuff.
Coming back here hours after MVP became road World Champion 2023 🎉
Love this
Very solid top ten indeed
Esse é muito bom 👊👊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Many riders from many teams, have had the "go for it" mindset. And it has made cycling INCREDIBLY interesting to watch..... I cannot tell you how much I love watching the drama it creates. WVA, MVDP, POG, JONAS, there was that rider from Cirrus, who didn't quite make it but it was a hell of a finish, drama till the end, and you know everyone was rooting for him, it's been amazing. Is it the best strategy, no probably not, you will fail, and fail often. But you will be remembered when it creates the drama. But you will create a moment in history to remember. No you may not win, but everyone will remember how amazing YOU made that race, and you WILL turn heads your way. Because you WILL win it, at some point. You will play your cards right eventually.
Back in the days when MVDP and Remco raced like maniacs. It was so much fun to watch
holy smoke, incroyable
Great race
Impresionante!!! MVDP
Amazing Power.MVDP legend.
This is why the classics are so much better than stage races.
Best 1km of Cycling ever.
Amazing rider, amazing finish.
Kids if you want to be great, race cyclocross in the winter!
"Solid top 10 ride for van der Poel" :)
Suddenly i heard a board radio going: watch the weaving on the straight 😂
Great win, but the Dutch TV was giving wrong time gaps
You said it wouldn’t happen. His fans said he could.
Brabantse Pijl is pronounced spot on.
Epic
I don't think the gap timings were very realistic in the race, FYI...but it was still hugely impressive and entertaining.
looking back at this now, with what Matthieu has accomplished since then. Just freaking insane!!! what a rider, including double worldchampion road racing and cyclecross in the same year!!!
GOAT
MDVP is a GIGACHAD
The chosen son attacks 😂🎉
Anyone know commentators name?
His dad knows when to do
the first time mvdp shake the world
We just had WC 2023, what about that one …….😅
Fugslang: You have to be prepared to lose to win.
MVDP: Correct :)
Coucou 💗❤️💪
No it wasnt the first time he shocked the road cycling world. In the Tour of Flanders 2019 he broke his front wheel and crashed at 60k to go, but still became 4th. But the Amstel Gold Race is a very good second time MvdP shocked the road cycling world ;)
ENORME!!!
Somebody please explain how is WVA rated above MVDP?
Consistency, compare their results from last season and wva comes out on top
@@benji1681 Consistency? Compare their results over their careers. MVDP has double the amount of cyclocross victories compared to WVA, 5 WCs vs. 3, 4 monuments vs.1, while WVA has almost double the amount of race days.
How about WVA winning the queen stage, a TT, the Champs Elysees sprint AND the green jersey in a tour where he also did loads of domestique work? They both won stages and wore yellow, but Wout dropping the world's strongest peloton and soloing to victory IN YELLOW... bonkers.
Having said all that, I am on team MvdP when they go head to head, I just love his style and explosiveness.
Have you watched last years TDF ? WVA won on every type of stage and did so many breakaways. VDP won more prestigious races, but he can also have off days, WVA is very consistent
I'm not sure that he is, but regardless of this ultra dominant spring season by MvdP, what WvA did at the TdF last year was simply unprecedented. No rider should be this good in all conditions and stage types. I'm a big MvdP fan, but regardless, there's not many sportsmen I respect more than WvA.
i didn't see him stop his computer
Holy fuck! Insane. He let up a little too early at the finish though, made me nervous
The other riders seemed the cans at the back of wedding car
