Jonas waiting for Pog after he crashed is legit my cycling highlight for the whole year. not only dominating athletically, but also playing it straight and being a true sportsman. A true feel great moment.

Jonas might have won the Tour, but he won all our hearts when he waited for Pog.

[waitbalthy]

YES! Build that hype. We are all here for it. Best cycling coverage bar none

[LennieNelson]

Wout in Green pulling Jonas in Yellow away from Pogi in White on Hautacam is THE picture that perfectly represents the best Tour in decades, and perhaps this golden generation of cycling. Absolutely iconic, where were you moment.

I'm not even a cyclist, but watched the new Netflix documentary and searched out more cycling content on youtube. I found these Lanterne Rouge videos and now I'm properly hyped for the 2023 edition. But as someone still new to the sport, a lot of the terminology is confusing to me. I'd love to see a channel like this have a quick primer video on things like lead-outs, defensive satellites, punchers, etc... Unchained is going to bring a lot of curious people to youtube and I think Lanterne Rouge could get big numbers on a video (or series of videos) that lays out all the stuff Netflix kinda glossed over.

I feel you missed the last TT. Where Jonas also showed to be strongest, slowing down on purpose on the last 2-3 km. And letting Van aert win by seconds but also still beating Pogacars time.

Stage 11 of the TdF 2022 is the most memorable stage I have ever seen. It's the stuff of legends. First the picturesque Lacets de Montvernier, then the unbelievable one-two attacks from Roglic and Vingegaard, followed by the Galibier with Wout waiting at the top pulling Roglic back from behind in an insane downhill speed train, Pog smiling at the camera just before imploding and Vingegaard being reborn as the new cycling hero.

I know what happened in this race, I listened to every stage recap pod, but this summary is still so enjoyable and beyond any other cycling media being produced currently. LR is producing some of the best media in sport let alone cycling, so thank you and keep doing what you do!

[chrisclancy]

Seriously though - how in the world did the producers of the Netflix special not spend any time on that Pog crash / Vingegaard pulling up moment. Crazy. Was the most amazing show of sportsmanship I have ever seen in any sport. I remember being stunned watching it. After 3 long weeks ... ups and downs of previous clashes with Pog.... made me Jonas fan for life.

[madskristiansen]

That 11th stage on col du granon gives me chills everytime. Insane stuff!!

[maxjahns]

I still can`t believe this stage when Jonas bridged forward to Wout and they dropped Pog in the climb. Never have seen a green jersey doing this much damage to a GC rider!!! Amazing performance of Jumbo Visma last year!

[MichaelBoogerd]

More relevant than Netflix. Better editing too.

[Mizekslav]

Honestly the Roglič-Vingegaard attacks were crazy. That team up would probably break anyone.

[frankwilson]

Tadej and Jonas have brought back class that was missing (or hidden) for so long. Can't help but respect these champions.

[igorvmakarov]

Both Tadej and Jonas being extremely talented racers, it looks like the the descent made them both to feel the real edge of the risks they take and Pogacar accepted Vinegaard's victory overall.

Probably the moment when Tadej slipped off the tarmac and Jonas waited for him and the handshake was THE MOMENT of 2022 TdF.

WvA nearly stopping and falling over on the road after delivering Jonas on Hautacam was really underlining how deep his helpers dug to ship him up that final climb. How did van Aert even finish the stage after that :D

[ЛёхаБукреев]

Doesn't matter who will win - we want an interesting sports show! (with minimum crashes!!!)

[kingjasko]

as a slovenian and a pogi/roglič fan, i wish luck to all the riders, may the best win!

[superrs]

This might just be the best video on YouTube. You're killing it and only getting better, LR.

[adamhindle]

Great summary. Pog was clearly out-played on the Galibier but to lose 3 mins on the Granon must have had a fuelling issue too. The Netflix series showed Jonas to be an clever rider, and he'll be ready for Pog this year. Can't wait.
