And maybe even this season the WC on the road! A pleasure and honour watching this fighting Champion!

I’ve been following cycling for decades and this is definitely a top ten moment. Epically called by Mr Hatch. I’m off to write some Public Service Broadcasting style music to go with the commentary ....

Superb victory of MDVP! It was fantastic. I love these commentators and the enthusiasm that is lacking in the French ones. How did Alaphilippe and Fuglsang lose this race after the efforts that kept them out of reach? Amazing and so beautiful. Absolutly explosive!

You are Not Alone! 💪👏MVDP! I still watch it here!

One of the best sports moments ever! super-beast-mode, and then some by VdP. Epic commentary btw, thanks.

WOW! The First time I watched this, I did not realized, That Van Der Pool was in the Wind all the time. What a Power!!!!

He might not have won, but mad respect to Fuglsang. So many guys would have been happy to tow Alaphilippe up to the line and settle for second. But he took a risk, refused to settle for second, and actually managed to outsprint Alaphilippe in the end. Sure he didn't win, but he made the race so much more exciting by his willingness to sacrifice some positions to have a chance to fight for 1st. I hope more guys will refuse to work and force Alaphillipe and other top guys to either pull or risk being overtaken, rather than pulling all the way, getting smoked in the sprint, and settling for positions.

Am watching it again. What a race. Holland has some great riders, from sprint to mountains. But they now have a Sagan. ;o)

its impressive what quality of highlights incycle puts out, it suprises me every time how few they show. We went from 6.6km to go, to the last km. They just left out the chase van der Poel did in those last few km's.

It's unbelievable how MvdP managed to win. Great result for him. And well deserved. But not very clever done by Alaphilippe and Fuglsang. They made a big mistake which they will not forget anymore till the end of their lives.

In the next 100 meters they lost 4 seconds to both Kwiatkovski and Mathieu! Alaphilippe must have been pretty tired, because they were 36,3 km on the attack and he (4) even lost the sprint to Fuglsang (3). The will to win must be stronger than the fear to loose.

Great commentating to a truly unforgettable finish. What is his name? The month before this race I followed flemish races I'd never watch, because of expectations of MvdP. (Dwars door Vlaanderen, Brabantse Pijl ) . And every race he did something remarkable. In the Amstel I thought 10 km that he wouldn't make it , and then this Happens. Unbelievable (that is literally what i shouted 3x at the finish). I can watch this footage over and over again... (rip to Bjorn Lambrecht 1997-2019)

Yep what a great race , I heard about it from The Move , lance was right
