Absolutely crazy that Hirschi was ranked 10th in UCI points going into this race without having won a WT race since 2020. The man is a .Pro farming machine.

The restaurant is called Arzak and is absolutely worth a visit. A family style run place by the daughter Elena, but with Michelin star class.

Sometimes i wonder if I’m addicted to pro cycling or your commentaries. Can you do a golf match review so I can check? 😜

[santiagobenites]

That was a super nice victory by Marc Hirschi, who looks to be back to his best form. He's looking like a good outside bet for the World's in Zurich this year.

2:35, Is the restaurant named Arzak? I just watched an episode of Bourdain's No reservations where he spends a day with the owners and chefs. It looks amazing, and not (that) expensive considering their reputation. I'm researching San Sebastian and Basque Country food cause I'm going on vacation there in September. I'm going to go watch the final mountain stages of La Vuelta.

congrats to Hirshi! so happy for his win although I would have loved an Alain Phillipe win too
Poor Vingegaard, he was added back into the start list quite late so presumably feeling okay else they wouldn't have done that? With his palmares Visma were always going to have to do some pulling on the front, maybe he just didn't have the legs at the crucial moment.
Maybe visma are trying to get him a bit more experience in more chaotic races like one days? A strong team can control later stages against a tired field a lot better than a one day race where everyone's coming with fresh legs. From watching him in the last few tours I got the impression he prefers calmer races where everything is going to plan, while Pogi doesn't seem to be able to follow anyone's plans 😂(even his own!) So maybe they wanted Ving to get more used to dealing with other riders throwing a range of different tactics at him

I wonder if Alaphilippe thought that the Lotto rider was Van Gils? If his radio wasn’t working and he just saw a lotto rider Van Gils sprint is really good so he might’ve been worried about that. But not sure

[badcaseofthebajabada]

I do wonder if the 2019 Amstel Gold Race finish hasn’t weighed on Alaphilippe. Seems more twitchy and paranoid, not as focused in these finales.

Great recap, always know I can rely on these when I can’t watch the race live. Hope you remember the name of that restaurant

❤❤❤ I love the accent whenever Yoonas Winger Got 😆 comes up on screen!

[nebukanezer]

Great to see Alaphilippe back to top form!

[metatron-]

Good bit of comradery their at the end, good to see.

[skoomymooms]

Marc Hirschi, probably: That's what you get for chopping me in LBL 2020

[hkw]

1:03 can’t tell me thats not ben healy

[sanastela]

Pogi should do this race next year. It has a finish that suits him well.

[drewcama]

Looking back trying to figure out who the rider is?

[liviocovre]

Hirschi fantastico, gara super intelligente

[sigfreed]

How can I watch these kinds of races in the USA? Is Max the only option?

[masonblackburn]

3 Americans in the top 10! Powless always does well here. I love to see it.

Visma pushed Vingegaard too hard on his recovery so he could be in TdF but now he's in the gutter instead of supercompensating from all the efforts.
If he races the Vuelta he may dig himself into a hole it will be hard to come out of
