I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS | Paris-Roubaix 2021 in Insane Wet Conditions

Lanterne Rouge presents highlights of the Paris-Roubaix 2021 from Compiègne to Roubaix, a barnstormer from start to finish right up to the velodrome. van der poel, van aert and quickstep appeared to be the big favourites but the mud, rain and cobbles opened the race up.

You know it’s been a legendary season when everyone thought the World Championship was the best race ever… until Paris-Roubaix just a week later. 🤘🏻🔥

[nvrseriouscc]

this literally is like watching people on tv on black and white with colored background....Epic!!!

[eurobubble]

indeed one of the best races ever, colbrelli screaming like a baby, while van der poel was in agony after such an epic race...almost more like a piece of art, an opera, than a bike race.

[vincem]

these sort of races are what makes cycling so exciting to watch. couldnt have scripted it any better.

[scully]

I feel like you haven't really mentioned vermeersch enough. The dude is 22 neo pro does his first Paris Roubaix and comes second against Colbrelli and MVDP even beating MVDP in the end after being in the break and in the front the entire day. Man of the race

[pschwa]

Right after the finish, having watched since from about one hour from the start, I said to my family that people are going to be saying this is one of the best races in the last 25+ years. Just like Pauline Ballet’s incredible photos, your highlight real captured the epic nature of the race (in a way no other on YouTube has). Wonderful job Lanterne Rouge!

[wanderalmeida]

What a ride, Moscon! Bad luck happens. 🙁🙁 Respect.
MVDP and Colbrelli 👏👏 What a epic race!

[retalivity]

Whenever i'm bored, i always end up coming back to watch the highlights or full race of this, truly epic

[philliptrzcinski]

As long as no-one got injured (beyond the normal bumps and scrapes), this will surely be my "once in a generation" race. Having the first women's race the day before made this special for me too, and got me so hyped up.

[srolchi]

This was one of the most legendary races I every witnessed. So so good! And great recap!

I cannot remember being so drawn in and compelled by a bicycle race since the late 1990's TDF battles. It was a spectacular game of pure survival and human suffering. Chapeau Sonny. A race that will be shown to cycling fans long after we've all left our mortal coils.

[griffrad]

Can’t wait to see what Vermeersch can accomplish in the next few years, seems similar to Wout in that he excels at one day races and can still hold his own in almost everything else. Amazing coverage and analysis as always!

[Beeks_]

Top 3 all deserved to win! What a race!

[hs]

Telling my buddies all day this was the best road race I've EVER WATCHED... all day.

Lanterne Rouge, you're consistently giving great insight in cycling races. You've covered all the major events this season and I've watched your videos with great interest to get your insight in what happened during the race from start to finish, in the front as well as in the chasing groups and peloton.
Here in belgium, we're blessed with live transmission of the races with what probably is to be considered the best commentary duo in the world, Michel Wuyts and José de Cauwer (+ Christophe Vandegoor and Karl Berteele on the motor), yet in terms of summary post-race, you're doing a hell of a fine job! Please continue to share your views and insights on racing.

Images like ascended mineworkers seeing their first daylight in over a year. What a heroic battle this was. This one will go down in the history books for sure, glad to have watched the entire race.

[dubplateriddim]

MvDP did incredibly well to come 3rd after battling back brom back injury. Anyone who finished is a bloody legend.

[MrLecksy]

Boivin's face @3:09 says it all. In an interview to LaPresse (Can Journal) after the race he said "Honestly, I just closed my eyes and rushed through. I didn't touch the brakes. I can't believe I didn't crash there. I was lucky"

[chrisko]

If a rider had to choose between a victory at Paris - Roubaix and one at the World Championships, there would be no choice. They should print a picture of a cobblestone on the winner's jersey for one year.

[captainsushi]

IT WAS ABSOLUTE MADNESS! I was paying such close attention and still didn’t know what the fuck was going on 😂
