Absolute credit to Honore for bouncing off that wall straight back onto his bike - every time I think I'm an ok bike rider seeing things like that remind me that I'm nothing special

Congrats to Powless on his first pro win. Good for him and EF!

Cool video! I’m a pretty fair weather cycling fan, usually only pay attention to the grand tours, but your content (plus the podcast) is really opening my eyes up to all the other races going on. Really like that you cover the women’s events too, so, thanks!

First survey I've ever done without thinking about it twice.

[jakesupertramp]

Good that you haven't been too hard on DQS. They have Patrick Lefevere as their DS. So they have enough to struggle with at the moment.

Brilliant for Powless and I'm so happy for his win! I look forward to every race he lines up for, knowing he's gunning for the breakaway and he looks like he has such fun doing it.

I've gotten so used to seeing Powless get into a perfect position in big races and then either not have the legs, lose it to bad luck, or blow it with a badly-timed attack, that when it just all came together for him, at every turn I was like "wait, that's illegal" "he's winning... he's winning? That's not supposed to happen, let me see the script"

And then finishing it off with that sprint, in which on paper he was so hopelessly outclassed and then he did it anyway. What a legend.

Movistar sent their A team to the women’s race

3:43 mark - Richard Mille sponsors to Alaphilippe: "Must flex watch at ALL times!"

[zzhughesd]

Fabulous. I was Gee’d up after this Lantern race review. Gonna go harder Sunday.

[youtubesafename]

Love those recaps! I usually only watch the TDF and maybe the Olympics but this opened my eyes to so many other interesting races, keep it up!

[kingpluto]

Really happy to see JA doing well and Landa is back@@

[distancespl]

Survey done. Love your channel. Keep it up.

[charlyncorgan]

Very happy to see Powless take the win. Have to admit I wanted Honoré, but not unhappy with results. That crash cost him. Mohoric is super strong right now. Anyone in a break with him has to work.

Thanks!

Ahoe Powless. Your tribe is proud of you.

3:55 Guy with beard: I don't know why I'm here, but I'd better smile at the photographer.

[ygtcbee]

That Face of Alaphillp says it all about the day.

[rangerk]

Hanyo! Hanyo! Neilson Powless! <SALUTE> to you Road Warrior!

Very telling to see the power data as riders put in efforts as they get closer to the finish.

Simon Carr did 6.6 W/kg for 13 min after 180 km at Erlaitz. Faster than Pogacar and anyone else in the Itzulia Basque Country with worse conditions. No wonder why Landa couldn't hold the wheel!
