Did today's result surprise you? Who do you think will win the sprint tomorrow in Paris?
GCN Racing CALEB EWANN🇦🇺
This was the most boring and senseless stage of the Tour de Farce for ages. My bpm during watching it: < 50, after the stage >180 realising the wasted time. Who cares about the also complete useless last stage? One of the surviving sprinters will win it, nothing else will happen. I will only watch the summary on GCN. This last stage is one of the reasons why I prefer to watch the other three week races especially the Giro. Tension up to the last second.
Viviani and Sagan head to head with Sagan taking it at the line.
@Yonas Sbhatu They would need to purchase the rights to do that and the cost would be prohibitive.
Alaphilipe lol
Alaphilippe fought like a man and lost like a gentleman. A lot to be proud about and nothing to be sorry about. He made the whole tour exciting to watch.
juian props to for your performance this year brother
if he gets faster going UP rather than just down he'll be unstoppable! the french hope! :)
DFTA (Don't Feed The Animals) I mean he won the polka dot jersey last year if I remember correctly so I think he’s okay going up ngl
Thanks man I tried my best
Absolutely
@@jethromaris624 true, but polka dot is different than yellow. the leaders don't fight for those points usually. it would be really cool to see someone win all 3 again, but those days are gone i think.
Bernal earned that. He did the work
He reaps the reward.
Are we looking at a legend?Time will tell.
I’m guessing we are.
So many thanks to Alaphillipe for making the tour so much more exciting than it’s been in years, he defended valiantly, and pretty much alone, and I’m glad he was in it!
Thanks for the highlights guys, they've been the highlight of my day for the last the weeks, great job 👍🏼
Thank you for keeping to your No Spoilers pledge for your thumbnails and titles! If only your colleagues at the NBC Sports and the Tour de France youtube channels had done the same. So many stage results were spoiled when youtube threw their content thumbnails up immediately when I opened the app without having a chance to head to the GCN Racing channel first.
I just don't subscribe to them on this account (I have other accounts when I don't want my name out there). Plus IMO GCN does it the best.
Wow, this whole race has been so exciting!!! Thanks for the coverage 👍 looking forward to seeing more on this new race specific channel!
Egan for ever.❤💐 you are going to be the king for years👑🌠
Simon Yates at 0:33 pulling out his earpiece like " WAIT...WTF did you just say???" ...he was sitting comfortably behind Bernal and ready to draft to another victory! :)
In the end Sky/Ineos always wins. Bernal couldn't win the Giro, never mind, he took on the TdF. With 3 Colombians in the top 10, one may guess who Is going to win la Vuelta a Espana. Top work done by the GCN Team every day. Well edited highlights, clever comments and articulate explanations. Now other YT cycling channels know it's possible to do it!
Alaphilippe: (presses the NOS button on stage3)
Egan: "Too soon, señor".
I've been car-free for 10 years now. I go everywhere by bike. This is the first time I've followed the TDF. It's been exciting and I've really enjoyed your enthusiasm and insights.
This proves once and for all that JA wouldnt have been able to keep up with Bernal if that mud slide didnt happen on stage 19 and he wouldve lost more time. Seeing that JA isnt actually a pure climber its still astounding how he managed to defend the jersey this far.
Bernal! you r about to be part of cycling history! Congrats! God Bless you and your family! Amazing!
so sad to see Julian go like that my heart saw him victorious :,(
Lot of heart, he's not a climber.. he'll never win a GC cat in any grand tour
5th still good...
Races are won on the climbs.
It had to happen, bro. He cant do everything. He has already blown away many nay sayers on most stages. But Egan's like the next Froome on the mountains. Even G wouldn't compare. The surprise is he's only 22 ! that new ! !
Hats off to Julian Allaphilipe.
Awesome to see Dutchman Kruijswijk on the podium!
I'm a big Egan Bernal fan..... Come on colombia / Ineos
"Alaphilippe finally cracked". What bitter things to hear said about this man. I would've loved to see him in yellow. But such is this sport.
Really makes you wonder what JA can do if he actually prepares and trains to ride for GC.
Johannes he had no help from his team at all!!!
@@bobbywall172 true DQS i more of a sprinters team
He seems to me like a Laurent Jalabert. By far the most versatile rider in the peleton but probably not quite good enough in the high mountains to win a grand tour.
With the right shift to his training, a lighter load in the runup to the race, less all round aggression (pulling for and leading out Viviani) and a team built around his chances he could easily have gone the whole way.
His team just prepared for sprinter
Thats why they cannot help him
They didnt expect him in yellow
Don't know about you but I always keep an eye for the T-rex dinosaur in these highlights. There he is 2:09.
Congrats Bernal, at 22 he's gonna be a mega star in grand tour cycling. Froome appears to have an heir to continue Team Sky's/ Ineos' stranglehold over the Tour De France. Team Quick Step are now in a quandry as to whether they should cater more for Viviani or Alaphilippe after both of them have performed really well.
Felicidades Colombia !!
I was expecting fireworks from Buchmann for podium. Maybe Jumbo Visma did a good job keeping a high pace, but it was disappointing...
Yes very strange, not even an attempt, just wheel sucking all along...
Yeah, was hoping the same. But I guess if you ride so close to your limit for such a long time to stay in the group, attacking just isn't possible anymore. He tried to run into the last ramp with speed, but you could quickly see, there just wasn't anything left. He is still young and still improving every year.
He said in german TV that he didn't really have the legs today. Still an amazing tour from him. The only stages he lost time were the individual and team time trial.
@@kochka22 Exactly not willing 2 try, even d Dutch rider, no attacks...scared...
@@brunospasta Don't agree they were just scared 2 lose time, it was boring, everyday waiting and waiting for some excitement...u r been 2 kind...
One of the most iconic moments in tdf history
Muy bien hecho mi compatriota!!
Finally the shark (V. Nibali) did it ..!! What a great performance ..!!
Nibali :) Yeah, a real champion !
zkaria shubar He had his eye on this stage the whole tour. Smart, he’s been saving his energy while the GC guys are all tired
Anyone know the tune they used as background music?
Well Bernal is from the same continent as I am so I guess I'm rooting for him!
Although I'm happy Bernal won I still feel JA is the real winner of this year's tour nobody dug as deep as he did. Bernals victory seems overshadowed by that
I don’t see why the last stage needs to be “ceremonial”, with only a 2 minute spread between Bernal and the contenders, there’s no reason not to be racing on the last day.
Remember Greg Lemond 1989!
A person may only get one shot at winning the Tour; if you had just 2 minutes between you and immortality, what would you do?
With exception of when there's an ITT as final stage, it's typically not a stage that's conducive to time gains. Any team with rider in yellow would quickly reel in anything threatening. In other words, efforts to gain on GC during the final stage is futile.
Yep. Somewhere since Lemond in the last 30 years it took on the celebratory parade with a sprint finish mode.
so you expect the jumbo visma to ride and drop all of the sprinters teams going for the race win + ineos, on a 128km flat stage? you must be new to cycling
Just wondering if it’s so processional tomorrow if Bernal or any other top rider fell off would this mean they kept their place. It’s if I had a rider minute down I would tell them to fire off in 4 up and let the other play interference with the chase group
3:59 his first TDF stage win since 2050... haha
Heather Luna 2015.
I know Brian messemer
How old is JA?Would like to see him back next year with a better team.Congrats to Bernel but a French victory is long overdue.
he is 27
Dan Lloyd called it
New ZWIFT ad "Wait... IS THAT E-gan?" :)
Silly question, do the top teams fly the riders up to Paris (via private jet) for the transfer to the finale? They hardly take a coach or train up?
William O Connell i think most of the peloton flies via a normal plane
They're on a couple of chartered flights tomorrow morning. Dan
The G is a true sportsman.
So yellow Jersey is won on stage 20 right? So does it really matter how much time yellow Jersey loses on stage 21? Anyone please help.
hey ! No analysis for the deciding stage ? why ?
Among all the other topics herein: I've been thinking all Tour... Movistar's wearing yellow helmets with no one in yellow throughout the Tour is bad form. Maybe even a jinx.
Aaron Householder they have been leading the team competition.

"The curse is lifted" by GCN
He won tour de France, and he's just 22 years old!
Well done GT for towing perfectly
Wait, I don't understand, is there nobody who is able to take him down on the last stage or does the last stage not count towards the final placement?
I'm asking for the yellow jersey.
This has been the most exciting and interesting Tour De France in years. But after all that, Team Ineos/Sky is poised to have two riders on the podium and Columbia will have three in the top ten CG finishers!
Sor for buchmann did make a podium
How surprising, places one and two on the podium for Team Sky, äh, ineos.
A history tidbit: The Tour will be at the Place de la Concorde today. 225 years ago today, at a little past 4 in the afternoon, Maximilien Robespierre, a central figure in the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror, was executed by guillotine at that very place.
GCN curse has been defeated
Somehow it's all a bit flat (despite the Alps),Ineos 1+2 not I think through any master strategy but by the way things panned out on the road with EB putting time into GT and sadly another Tour won by a team with unlimited funding,same team different label.
JA was fantastic,yesterday I thought unfair and killed off his chances but overall was impressive,brave and gave his all.
Jumbo Visma lost two crucial riders in WVA and TM leaving SK fairly isolated,they animated the race early doors and we'll hopefully see WVA back fit and healthy next year.
I wonder how many times did it happen that the final top 4 didn't win one stage...
Yeah, it's a shame. I hope Alaphilippe will got the "super combatif" prize in Paris for all what he gave to this year edition.
Nobody needs to win a stage to win the Tour. Its the accumulation of time that decides the whole race. The one with the shortest total time for 22 days, wins the yellow. 😉
@@oyettebagaporo2788 Oh really? Duh
@@oyettebagaporo2788 I do not even know if it already happen that top 4 didn't won any single stage...
Victory without glory... Ineos Motto...
@@oyettebagaporo2788 Everyone knows it dude. But the question is something else. Of GC riders who will be at the podium tomorrow no one won a stage.
Is it possible to lose the yellow jersey on stage 21? Sorry newbie here.
It is possible but mostly unlikely, nobody will attack the yellow jersey on the stage 21 even if he somehow crashed, the other gc contender will likely wait for him to get back on his bike.
@@jamelpiclit3062 thanks for the info
Not sure about that thumbnail guys...
Egan Bernal 💪💪💪💪💪
I call Alaphilippe in tomorrows early breakaway Just to say goodbye
They said Ineos were weak... but you can't beat 1st and 2nd!!!!!!
Not even a stage win...
@@kochka22 Bernal won stage 19 even if its not official. Who cares? Yellow is yellow.
@@dionysiaex5538 No, he didn't nobody could predict what would happen in the last climb.
Ineos won indeed, but still a boring team of robots.
@@kochka22 If you think Bernal is boring I suggest you give up watching cycling because you'll never be excited.
@@dionysiaex5538 I was talking about Ineos / Sky in general. Have we seen something from Thomas who was the natural leader ? (and still finish 2nd)
Bernal's attack on Iseran was interesting, too bad we have not seen the conclusion...
Bit of a tour de france noob whats to stop people taking time against bernal on tomorrows stage?
It's an old tradition to not attack the yellow jersey on the final stage of the tour de france
They'll ask sagan to speak to commisaires and neutralize GC.
Anyway, it is a stage for sprinters and it's quite impossible to attack the Yellow there.
As others have said, it's kind of a tradition not to attack the yellow jersey. However, it would also be a very difficult, if not impossible, task. It's a flatter stage (not to me but rather the experts) which would make it difficult to attack. I think the overall standings would have to be way more contested than they currently are in order for them to actually race on this stage. I'm not a veteran of this sport either though, so I could be wrong.
Buchmann best man
I have a dumb question. Even though I am a cyclist and have been watching racing for awhile, I don't understand why, given the fact that several riders are within a couple of minutes of Bernal, he will not have to defend his lead on the final stage. Perhaps one of the presenters, or commenters, could explain this to me. This is not a rhetorical question. Thanks in advance.
Joseph Berti there some kind of unwritten rule that you don’t attack the leader on the last stage. It’s part of the tour “etiquette”. Anyway, Paris’ stage is flat so it’s almost guaranteed to be a sprint finish from the bunch.
Joseph Berti It is an unwritten rule that no one will attack the Yellow Jersey on the final stage (unless it’s and TT). It is a flat stae for the sprinters final honours. Also since it is flat if any GC tries to attack they will get caught up by the peleton pretty easily.
Thanks for the explanation Vincent.
Thanks for the explanation MtTux0.
It is an unwritten rule in the TDF that the fight for the GC ranking stops on the penultimate stage which is also the last tough stage of the race where drafting will not help much (in the mountains). There were also enough opportunities to separate the weak from the strong. The last day is flat and a breakaway will not be allowed to survive if there is a GC rider involved. The race for the sprinters continue though with the last stage being the most sort after stage for them ... That said, the GC riders still need to finish safely in one piece in Paris to claim there positions.
Where is Peter Sagan? Is he out?
He's a sprinter stage 21 you will see him again
Arc Cabiling Thank you for the info.
Vincenzooooooooooooooooooo
Why is tomorrow just dubbed a ceremonial stage? Is it etiquette or just the fact that mountain stages are over and the climbers are the GC contenders. If you went into it with only a second time difference why not attack in the final stage. But with alaphillippe down 3 mins would you really rule him out if you can treat this final stage as a proper stage. He's more of an all rounder than the climbers and because of his unusual position in gc he may have more of a chance staying with sprinter groups and pulling out a gap. Seems a shame to not use an opportunity because the mountain stages are finished. In my eyes it's normally top 10 is climbers and then more all rounders and puncheurs and then sprinters.
It's an old tradition to not attack the yellow jersey on the final stage of the tour de france
I wonder if it was Ineos who hired shamans to call for the snow on the 19th stage :D not so marginal gains
So the winner is set? What is the point of the last stage then?`Sorry, noob
That only for the general classification. But for the final sprint stage. It most the sprinter want to win
Kevin Durant will be back next year.
Lance Armstrong Would Have Kicked all There Bootys In His Day Stats Prove this ! And thay All Doped Then
Sadness hahaha winner is snow ❄️ ❄️
Analysis please. If Ineos had such a weak team, how did they finish 1st and 2nd? Why did all the other contenders crash out? Was Alaphilippe doping? Would G have won if he had been the only leader and Bernal his domestique? Will Froome win a 5th Tour? Should the final stages in the Alps go through terrain subject to landslides? Why do Movistar always focus on being the best team?
Movistar don't focus on being the best team. They are the worst team and despite talent in spades are not capable of working for one leader. Instead you have 3 top riders training and racing for themselves. So they will never win yellow. Winning the team classification is just an ironic consolation.
@@stuartclough915 Well put. I never thought of it like that.
Team ineous showing what landa hould have been aloud to do when Quintana was struggling in 2017 and 2018.
Valverde, Valverde...........keeps the juicer machine running and under radar!!!!!!
sour end to what had been an entertaining Tour. Truncated stages without a fair fight for main GC contenders. Bernal coasts to win on backs of powerful Ineos team without having ever won a TDF stage race and now everyone is annointing him second coming of Eddy Merckx, give me a break.
Hoping Alaphilippe attacks tomorrow and takes the win. No room for tradition when there's a Tour victory on the line.
Lol, would be cool but it's impossible :)
Seeing that he isn't a sprinter the other teams would just send a few of their fastest away after him to make sure he didn't get anything out of it.
@@kochka22 Nope. It would be cool and he will try.
tour de france is the greatest cycling race in the world? but this year I'm not impressive it is bias... in the stages 19 how come this is a winner if the race is suspended because of the weather situation.
Booooo!!! They shouldn’t awarded anytime on stage 19. Not fair for those who are pacing themself and preparing for the final climb.
Also wouldn't be fair on those who took the risk to attack. They would've wasted all that extra energy only to be told it was for nothing. It was a difficult situation, but I think it seems fair to reward those who dared to have a go.
This. A hollow victory for Bernal I think.
I said yesterday there was no point in watching anymore, guess I was right.
what can be suprised these years... Ineos (sky) takes every race...
this seems to be suspicious ..
Why suspicious? Ineos (sky) prepares team for winning the tour. It's their goal and do teamwork to catch it
@@ghseam right..and what other teams do ?
all these guys are on highest possible endurance level and when someone dominates too much, its just something is wrong..
Its just reminds on US postal from past
The super distracting voice again...thankfully the auto-generated subtitles are pretty good. It is much better when muted.
winning tdf without any real stage win!!makin tour boring!!
Not only Bernal, it's the same for Thomas, Kruijswijk and Buchmann... 1st to 4th
When you dont understand how the race works, it really is boring. The contenders tries to clock in the shortest time each day and they sum it up till the last day. It is a bit technical, but that's how the tour is raced. When you learn to watch their time, then it gets exciting. 😉
@@oyettebagaporo2788 You're seriously think we don't know how it works ?
Riders like Kruijswijk or Buchmann were boring to hell, trying to save there 3rd and 4th places without any attack, sucking wheels all along the Tour...
Oyette Bagaporo watchin tour over 30 years..i know exactly what they doin..but what i am sayin,if you will have yellow jersey at the end of 21 stages,biggest cycling event,you will show to the world you are strong,at least one time you will destroy the pelaton or your rivals.look at the history,lemond,pantani,contador...you ll do something memorable!!what bernal do,hidin like a coward,and depending his success on other failures!!if you are big go and get it,dont wait for others to fail!!race like an hero not like a coward!!and make tour memorable!!
@@gv0601 you are right. I'm sorry, my mistake. Anyway, that is why I was rooting for Alaphilippe for this year's tour. I admired his attitude defending the yellow.
Move of the clips match the commentary. This is horrible editing
Is it just me or did more people (except France and Colombian people) could not feel excited for this tour at any given moment at all?
just you
Just you. Most interesting Tour in a long time.
Personally, I found it exciting.
Erik, to like a sportsman or woman doesn't mean you have to be from the same country. Like them for their skills, their style, their smile, whatever. Alaphilippe is the most electric rider of the past few years. Was amazing to see what he achieved at TDF. You don't need to be French to appreciate that!
Lance Armstrong is best ever!!
tdf wo froomy boring there is no impressive attack from the gc contender
Agree. Thomas is a backup Rider and is so conservative
Amazing what drugs can do. Just let them all take it and let's watch the old school Lance tours again where you never fell asleep watching it.
No attacks? Boring ride boring tour boring contenders tbh not the best tour
