At some point will you cover older stages of the grand tours? Would love a breakdown of Froomes massive solo attack at the giro
-
Will never forget this. Cav was awesome, as expected, and G just showed such class. In an post-race interview, G was asked about it and he said he look to his left and saw Cav and he thought, "[why not] help a brother out?".
-
100% the right decision to offer him an extension
-
G's just such a class act, he really is.
-
Absolutely it was the right decision to extend him, if he breaks Merckx record at the TdF it'll be in an Astana jersey for all time. All the pictures of him breaking the record will have Astana on his chest and live in cycling immortality. Definitely worth a roll of the dice with this.
-
Mørkøv and Cav next year will be very exciting.
-
I remember watching this live and clocked G on the front and was willing him to give Cav a lead out and when he gave sanchez the nod I had immediate goosebumps and was jumping up and down. Its these moments that make sport great. It was nailed on for Cav to win from that moment and he delivered. Fairytale stuff. He just needs one good lead out in the tour and he makes history. Possibly the best moment in Gs career for me.
-
G and Cav 2 legends 🙌
-
I never get sick of watching this man takes stages! What a legend! Cheeky calling out the reporter LOL he’s had his run ins with the media.
-
If Cav wins a Tour stage next year, that's my yearly cycling wishlist completed. Growing up with seeing him dominating with HTC Highroad, taking the record would be a fitting end to the career of a legend of his caliber.
-
G and Cav! Great to re-watch that beautiful combo! And Cav thanking him 😄
-
Great to finally see the full footage of the lead out, all the highlights I saw made it look like a 3 second pull. Also the analysis was perfect
-
I'm a novice, so your commentaries are so illuminating. And this one was heartfelt. Wish you had a playlist of material breaking down racing strategies...
-
Excellent analysis. The way he searches, finds and holds Milans wheel is also very nice. He made all the right the decisions. Years of experience all come together in this sprint
-
Geraint Thomas is already a cycling bad ass, this beautiful move makes him moreso.
-
Fantastic ending to a memorable Giro. Even if Cavendish doesn't break the record, he's already the best.
-
Thanks for the recap, I honestly never fully understood what the big deal was with the G leadout. It all makes much more sense now 😊
-
If he does get number 35 they're going to have their Brand plastered front and centre on what will be one of the most iconic sporting photos of all time, well worth the investment.
-
I always support older guys, when competing against youngsters: being at the end of your career makes defeats far more bitter, 'cos there's less and less time to redeem yourself
-
I've been watching you for years and never commented. One of your best videos. Keep on the great work.
