MvDP is just out of this galaxy. And great to see Politt doing so well in this year‘s classics.

If I'm not mistaken, Mihkels is the first 20 year old to TOP 10 Paris-Roubaix in the 21st century. The closest I found was Boonen in 2002, when he was 21 and finished 3rd. Shows how big of a talent this guy really is.
Pithie 21
@@Cp-gg9bp Boonen's birthday is in fall while Pithie will soon turn 22.
Let's make the NPC Rouleur an official phrase please guys
I'd wear that t-shirt.
Insane job from Alpecin. MVDP is just too strong AND had the best team by far today
I really hoped this would be Mads Pedersens year 🇩🇰
But Van Der Poel is just so damn strong, kudos to him 👏🏼
I was also rooting for Pedersen but he certainly didn't do himself any favors with his strategic decisions.
Pedersen has been in really good form lately. Only his tactical calls seem way off recently. His attack in Flanders, for example, was such a waste of energy, but somehow he still was amongst the best after he got caught (only at the very end he broke). He seems to have an incredible amount of stamina
Pogi and MVDP may be in a league of their own in classics and monuments lately, but Pedersen seems to be the best of the rest. Which is still a very impressive achievement
For sure he has been the best of the rest, I just think with better tactics he could have made it a lot closer today.
@@Nova-dy6fq I don't see him getting better than 3rd in this race. Alpecin was just better, stronger and had all the cards on the hands.
Not with that kind of tactics. No way. YOu cant ride like Trek did in the finals and beat MvDP. No way
Vermeesch did a grand job
You are the best cycling commentator out there!! I saw and learned more in your breakdown than any of the major broadcasters! 🤘
Agree. I like the Butterfly Effect as well but Chris talks a bit too quick for me and I have to watch it at 0.75x!
@@iwb70 Besides, everybody and every move is a knucklehead one for Horner :D
Shoutout to Pidcock though for hanging in while weighing 10+ kilos less than everyone else
As a light weight I’m always rooting for Pidcock cause he can let it all hang out better than anyone!! 🚀🤘
bloody hands and all!
@@damionmiller4366pogačar 🤨
Pidcock is even smaller than pogi @@Logi2380
@@Logi2380 Pidcock is almost 10 kg lighter than even Pogacar. He is really so tiny!
Incredible. Fastest Paris-Roubaix ever, with almost 60km of that solo.

Having got in to the classics for the first time this year really (always been a casual grand tour follower) I am really impressed with phillipsens ability on this stuff. For a sprinter to get through all the tough stuff is amazing.
I agree, he's very impressive all round in these very long one day races. Doesn't seem to earn much of a mention next to his top level sprint finish alas.
I can't believe MVDP's performance, what a great time to be able to see these insane monsters in the sport.
Hope all is right..
Vermeersch was definitely the MVP of the day
definitely not. Most helpful teammate, but the MVP was Mathieu and there's no going around that
@@nicolbolas5078such a hater lol
@@alessandroscagnolari5123 I think it's a joke because Mathieu's initials are MVdP... get it?
Crazy he was able to pull Pithie all the way to the finish line after all the work he did. Maybe his best day on the bike ever !
Most combative, I think is the cycling term?
Honestly might be a crazy take but in this form MVDP could pull something crazy out of the hat in LBL
Against pogi
I still think Pogi has it, but with Remco out of the way as well, and him being in this shape... I don't think he'll ever get a better chance of it.
I personally think that Tadej is gonna take amstel and LBL
@@mauritsbol4806 I don't think he's doing Amstel sadly :(
it would be hard to beat Pogi... but with other favourites out... he may have a great chance of a better result than the Covid affected 2020 6th place.
😂 You can’t blame Tarling, that bottle was *SOOOOO sticky!!!* 🍼
only 1 different rider compared to last years top 5. Thats also a crazy statistic!
Alpecin absolutely killed it. First the NPC roulers.. then Vermeesh following everybody's wheel... Then Jasper scaring anyone out of chasing VdP
Love this channel. Grear summary of the events.
Thanks so much for all your coverage.
走行技術プラス超人！素晴らしい動画に感謝．
Only 300 days to Omloop
only about 354 till RVV
Great summary. Thank you
Brilliant well-paced commentary - thank you

If I'm Trek, I try to get Declerq in the brakeaway with Milan and Theuns. MVDP is way too strong man vs man in these races, so you need more numbers than them and the only way to do that is to thin them out early. Trek actually has the team to do it, but just played the convensional strategy. Ah well. Better luck next year!
D'autant qu'il manquait Stuyven.
Trek have been trying to profile themselves too much and been racing really stupid, helping Alpecin and MVDP with it.
The MVDP Canyon sponsorship is working - I want an Aeroad!
MVDP 60 km/h insane atttack on cobbles, no wonder anyone could comprehend how to respond.
Patrick, check out Merckx in the 1969 RVV. I believe he took off with 70 k remaining never caught despite a high quality chase group.
Ehh, he was almost certainly doping. (Ik, ik, it's heresy to question "the greats.") What's truly impressive to me is that we're still seeing insane performances out of the modern day peloton (similar to the doping peloton days), but accounting for gear improvements, nutrition and training improvements, etc the likelihood that they're still cheating is very small.
If they kept doping + had the modern improvements, we'd be seeing some truly unbelievable performances in terms of times/records, etc.
Van Der Poel's superiority and the absence of Van Aert made the race quite boring; hopefully next year the line-up will be complete.
Most boring !
Complètement, plus une bonne météo a rendu la course très fade, sans suspens.
WVA can't follow this Guy in this shape in abmonument...
When was the last time he was ahead of MVP? Years ago
@@kristofrookx8452exactly a year ago in a sprint vs Pog and MVDP at E3
@@kristofrookx8452think you need to see last Paris Roubaix race back. Wva was ahead when he punctured. Also, he won E3 Saxo last year, which is the mini-tour of flanders, ahead of MVDP and Pogi.
So inspirational 😎🤗😎!!!!
Was similar to Boonen 2012, getting away with Terps at 56km to go and solo at 53km.
"From before the professionnal era"
Paris Roubaix winners have been professionals since almost the very first edition..
No cap throwing incident mention here either? Wedu missed that as well
Yeah ! That Belgian woman loves Mathieu so much and was borderless jealous at Roxanne. Or is she French ?
Pithie, is it his first time? I think, great job
The lack of organization in the chase after MvdP went, was probably the most disappointing thing of the race. In hindsight he probably would have stayed away with no mechanicals, but them immediately giving up - allowing the gap to over one minute and consequently letting the team car in - ruined the race. So much could have happened in the sectors, but they were immediately like "let's race for second".
Thats just what MvdP does to people i guess. i mean we all knew the race was over when he went and so did they
@@liamday453 In a normal road race I get it, but this is Roubaix, anything could have happened in those 60km. Like I said, in hindsight he had no punctures or mechanicals, but he could have.
I agree here. Also Lidl Trek wanting to show a bit too much they are a strong team by closing a lot of gaps and helping to pace, which is only helping Mvdp.
@@FrapsomaticalOption i mean sure but ive seen MvdP have bad luck like twice ever. didnt really seem in the cards and plus ive already lost all the tension and excitement from the race being tight. a potential mechanical isnt near enough to fill that gap. the gap blew up so fast it probably wouldnt have mattered anyway
Lidl should have let Politt Kung and Vermeersch go,play some poker and if everyone else would have done the same, it leaves the question if Alpecin would rely on Vermeersch to win it. At least Pedersen would not have sacrificed his domestique.
Politt has looked very strong this year. Props to him
Alpecin too strong, when MVDP launched, having Philipsen there and just pulling him to eventually lose in a sprint, realistically when nobody caught the attack it was done from the moment the gap was 10".
Even if Philipsen weren't there they wouldn't have caught van der Poel.
Pedersen did a max effort to catch the attack and the gap was going out.
Mathieu is just 2 levels above these riders. His team doing a hard pace is also so beneficial.
Proving that if you go fast enough, anything becomes smooth!
Sadly another supernatural 1000 mile solo attack which stuck. Not denying it’s impressive but sure makes for some tedious racing. Flanders also a yawnfest.
A great race by a great team with a great finish by a great cyclist.
juicy ride
W recap as usual
GV sitting on Pollet and Kung was gold because it was too far out and chasing group/Trek still too strong and brilliant MVDP and DS had the goggles for that long game.
Sadly the first time I've switched the race off with over 1 hour remaining as result no longer in doubt. Easily the least watchable Roubaix in decades. Nothing against Alpecin/MvdP but sport needs competiiton.
Alpecin is the new Wolfpack. Hard to believe the team recently joined World Tour status. Gianni was on.
Alpecin are not exactly new to WT level racing in the sense that for three years as the top European Tour team they had the benefit of an automatic invitation to any WT race but had the ability to refuse as well.
@@epincion Yes, not "new" but more so now dominant in the classics over and above MvdP.
@@hernanhernandez3861 exactly……
Mads Pedersen in the middle of Mathieu and Jasper, perfect setup by Alpecin. I could see the frustrations, it must have been a Nightmare for Mads. How ever Mads was pleased after the Race, what could mads have done differently?
It is truly amazing how mvdp always shows up in the biggest races. Sure Mads might've won Gent-Wevelgem but when it counts most, you'd be silly not to have your money on mvdp.
the efforts they do on the cobbles is incredible. id fall so fast its not even funny
Vermeesch could have won if MVDP wasn’t there, he was unreal
Fenix-Deceuninck had it seemingly planned for any outcome: add Philipsen to the list
Great win by MvDP and the Alpecin team, however, a pretty boring race to watch once the break was made.
One of the GOAT
JOIN s ZONE definition is a little high
UCI: "Van der Poel must glue and stick back all records he broke for the year. This is unacceptable!"
MvdP still wears the old Abus Gamechanger, i don't get it. Anyone?
Your vids are Capital 😎🫡
Insane 70km/h on a near flat surface.
Easy 2.60 odd W
Unbelievable strategy from Trek
Knew once MVDP was off that Philipsen would just mess up any attempt by the rest to catch him, frustrate everyone then sit at the back then take 2nd, just like he did with WVA last year. Messy but effective...makes for dull viewing at the end too...
Hilarious that Politt thought he could out-sprint Philipsen and Pedersen in the velodrome.
Politt needed to make a move much earlier outside the velodrome to try to drop them - he was never going to beat them so he should've rolled the dice and gone for it much earlier. Worst that could happen is he gets caught and finishes 4th anyway.
What a race
MvdP has really sealed his rainbow jersey the past two weekends. Curious how he’ll do in the grand tours this year.
I think he will prioritize Olympics
He's not starting in the Grand Tours this year - at least not planning to yet. He has a 4 month break to prepare for the Olympics.
I heard they going to bring Vermeersch to LBL to neutralise Pogacar.
Hell of a rider but lack of competition makes it really boring to watch, hopefully pog can spice up Liege a bit
Will be Peterson there next sunday?
* Pedersen.
At Amstel Gold Race?
Nope, he has never ridden the race before 🙆🏼♀️
No, why would he? He's not much of a puncheur, they thought even Sanremo didn't fit him until recently.
His next race is supposed to be the Dauphiné.
It's been interesting to watch the development of Alpecin as they become this juggernaut. They have clearly vaulted past the likes of Ineos and Soudal and Movistar and other teams that looked so powerful just a few years ago. Sure they have no legit GC guys but so what? They are cleaning up on sprints and one day races.
Holy 3 minute gap. What a performance.
MvDP IS A BEAST!
Paris Roubaix is really about who is the strongest on the cobbles who wins.
This was the case but luck plays a huge role, mvdp never has a mechanical😂
@@alfredogatto6012it might be becouse he rides smart and good line choices tho. And pedersen had a mechanical looooong before this so non of the faworites had mechanical in the «final» kilomiters. Its much more luck on wet conditions
@@alfredogatto6012 If luck played a huge role, MvdP would have mechanicals the same frequency as everyone else 😂
Read Sagan's book. He explains punctures aren't really a product of luck. Bikehandling skills, confidence and freshness are more important.
I'm new to the cycling sport. Maybe someone can explain this to me. The commentator says that the MVDP is protected by having his team member follow other people's attacks. If 3 others attack and one team member hangs on to them, why should that help MVDP? If these 3 rotate , does MVDP's helper have no effect or am I misunderstanding something?
It's basically about showing dominance, you can try catching the leader but then we have 2 of the same team in the leading group.
If Philipsen jumps with them, he can just sit in the weels. In the drag of the other riders, he can take it easy and win the sprint easily even if they would catch (and drop) MVDP
Has MVDP ever had even a flat tire all classics season?
Or any kind of a mechanical? All these big races, and not a single mishap? Canyon must do some remarkable stuff on his bike! :D
@@savagepro9060 Your brains are sealed with peanutbutter and jelly
Non.
I was thinking this today; he doesn’t flat, stays away from crashes, he’s always well positioned, rails every corner, looks relaxed on the bike which saves him some watts… and to top it all off he’s strong AF. His team ain’t bad either.
@@robertabbey100 You know, 'flatting' is not 100 procent just a case of (bad) luck
Bin the radios UCI ffs
Gianni Vermeersch was also turned on, did not let anyone get away when Matje was out front
Not even blisters
Laporte really doesnt have luck on that kind of races, he also got a mechanical in Glasgow last year in first lap and never caught back
When bad luck becomes a tendency, it's most probably no longer luck, but attitude
Merida Rajovic was good, he rode very well.
Without wout, pog, remco there’s no competition, hats off the mvp but it was dull as for last 40km
They would do shit to mvdp’s placement anyways😂
@@sivertandreassen776 It's not about the placement; it's about having an exciting race. True fans of the sport understand.
goat doing goat things.. a little snoozy, but good race
I don’t get why asgreen keeps going in the early breaks. Ain’t he one of the strongest over the cobbles?
Strong legs, weak mind.
Boringa race it was going to happen.
One thing I do not get is why does nobody question his performances like Cancellara, Boonen, Froome, Jonas, Pogi I remember even Wout, people spoke about after his tour performances. You always hear people talking about how they cannot be clean. But Mathieu never gets questioned. He is so far ahead of anyone it's not even close. Even prime Sagan couldn't do anything like this.
His father was suspect and his coach is suspect but Matthieu, totally clean. Yep.
a) people are literally accusing him in this comment section
b) you really think there is some magical juice only mvdp is using that no one else is on?? if it could make you THAT much better, don't you think other riders would be using it too? or maybe he is just better and stronger than everyone else (which he has literally been since junior)
@@franzroth2830 what was the others taking? I don't know? I was just repeating what others had
@@franzroth2830 Lance was on the same stuff as everyone else but was a better responder. Also you may notice there are a handful of riders lately that are utterly dominant.
Honestly a bit of a boring race considering Howe easily MVDP got separation on Aranberg, was just a question of when he was going to win
so?
it was actually really fun until his solo attack
@@tollph3314 you literally witnessed history, be grateful
@@gabrielmazza7923 i did and it was pretty fun
@@gabrielmazza7923The only history that was witnessed today was a historically low competition field.
Easiest Roubaix ever. Year after year it has been shown that MVDP, Pogacar, and WVA are on an entirely different level. They are the only real competition for each other. It’s wild that MVDP was lucky enough to have none of his competition present.
Mvdp on a other level
Sorry, but it seems to be impossible that all the Alpecin team are so extragalactical
@TorrieFix WTF is that comment that I just read hahaha
Not to throw shade on everybody's effort, but -Fenix- Alpecin-Deceuninck control and domination really makes me question other teams' motivation.
Shit, the women's team were in there, too? No wonder Alpecin won.
@@FrapsomaticalOption 🤦♂️ good catch, jokes on me
Notamment, Quickstep.
@@feedbackzaloop No worries mate, I just couldn't let that opportunity slip haha
Alpecin-Trek did a good job controlling. I was a bit confused at first as I didn't understand why those guys with Trek jerseys were riding for MvdP, but now I understand they're part of the same team.
Why did Tim van Dijke get relegated?
He drove across the blue line in the velodrome, but so did Phillipsen so I still don't fully understand.
Phillipsen didn't ride the blue section fully so i guess thats the difference.
Van Dijke cut off half of the velodrome. A pity as there wasn't any need to do so. He rode like he never saw a velodrom before.
MVDP Solo Eclipse
What happened to van Dijke?
I'm not sure, but I saw him attack in the velodrome inside of the normal riding lane. Guessing that was a no-no.
@@zackdontattack Ohhh that’s right, I remember now, thanks!
Now we see the REAL reason Pogacar stayed away!
No we dont, we know the reason is becouse he isnt going to risk the tour de france and giro gc win for rhe monuments
@@sivertandreassen776 "isnt going to risk the tour de france and giro gc"
Pogi will probably do Roubaix later in his career, it’s too risky, Gran Tours are more important
@@savagepro9060what are even talking about?
@@alpsalish real champions ride to earn their wages AND satisfy the race followers, not pick and choose races to avoid obstacles of weather or potential crashes
So far this season, we've been robbed of all the exciting matchups that we've been looking forward to... No WVA to challenge MVDP in the classics, crocked WVA/Remoco/Roglic/Vingegaard for the Grand Tour season...I don't understand the excitement about MVDP winning Roubaix unchallenged...I suspect he found it boring...and Pidcock? I don't think he can make up his mind about One Days Races/Grand Tours....
Peak MVDP
It's not crazy when you are so much better than the others....and have the team to control whatever happens next....
Thats a stupid comment my guy😂like if messi scores 10 goals in a world cup final, and someone says «its not that good when u remember messi is insanly good at football» like the whole part thats impressive is the fact that he is so good😂. Alpecin didnt effect how he dominated at all. Same would happen without teamates
@@sivertandreassen776 really? You must have not seen his team keeping the breakaway in check....and controlling every attempt to go after him after he attacked.....he is the best...but the best don't always win...he did because of teammates like Philipsen and especially Vermeersch......
Always clean mutant
Gutted that Wout wasn't there - once MVDP broke away from the front - the race became as predictable and dull to watch as the womens was exciting .. an MVDP and Phillipsen first and second was a near certainty (barring mechanicals) from a long way out ...I didn't even watch much of the last hour or so ..kudos to MDVP for such a performance but would've loved a more competitive race with outcome unknown until the very end ..
Reminds me of the great Lance 😊
Lets hope not.
The other top riders did not stay with Mathieu Van Poel when he attacked, you can't give a guy like that an inch when he makes his move, go with him, I didn't see that, they just let him ride away. It is a flat race get in his draft and tell him you will work when you can.
There wasn't much draft. Tailwind all day. You need guys like WvA (sorely missed) to give MvdP some challenge. Without those, it's really a long free ride for MvdP.
Van der poel is the goat 🐐
Ahhh, that would be Le Cannibale! MVP isn't even on Van Looy's level! The Emperor is the only rider to have won ALL classics! Even Eddy hasn't, he missed on Paris Tours. MVP not even close!

Pretty boring Paris-Roubaix honestly, knew the winner since Milan crashed out
Lidl Trek are the complete oposite of Alpecin when it comes to tactics... Pedersen is the king in their lineup... I just don't get it. He can only win, when he is stronger than others, no way he (they) can win using tactics.
Lidl Trek literally won Gent Wevelgem this year with great tactical riding beating MVDP and Alpecin. They were missing Stuyven and Kirsch so their team was severely depleted. No amount of team tactics in this race would have changed the outcome with so many riders having missed the race for Visma and Trek.
