By birth, I am a Pogacar fan, but how can't you love Rolga?! Such a class act & love seeing him win.

It's staggering how far you've come, in such a short space of time, from doing random classic race commentaries in a dark room, to creating the best cycling analysis channel on YT 🙏

Can we take a moment to appreciate, how much Lanterne stepped up his game during the past two years? I hope, this channel will turn out to be sufficiently profitable in order not to lose him to the established media outlets!

At any given race I couldn't pick between Primoz & Tadej. But considering their ages, it's insane how good both physically and psychologically mature Tadej is - off the charts!

Glad that you mentioned Pogacar's outstanding parcours knowledge. A true professional, he practised bike changes and rode Planche des Belles Filles several times when preparing for the Tour, I believe. Roglic seems to have a more casual attitude, which I also like. It might cost him some success, but people are different and that's a good and very entertaining thing.

Mate I subscribe to GCN race pass and don’t get me wrong it’s brilliant, but your recaps are just a whole other level of race insight compared to the highlight reels on gcn. I bow to you sir. Please never stop!

LR, this is absolutely the best race coverage available! These quick videos are amazing! Thank you. Team Tadej!

Definitely Team POG here! Sending Formolo up the road to create the lead group of 5 and following Alaphillipe’s wheel in the sprint were classy moves. His talent is obvious but tactical intelligence and nous are what sets him apart from his countryman. Roglic is a legend but tends to rely on his team and good placing/power rather than cunning! It makes for great racing! Thanks for these breakdowns LR, your commentary is always fascinating.

This is one of the best recaps I have seen! Good stuff.

I really want to be Team Roglic. Probably mostly due to his story. But I think, this spring, Pogacar has proven how dominant he's likely going to be over the next 10 years.

Mate, I really appreciate how you always make an effort to pronounce the name of the riders correctly! Of course, it's hard to get it completely right, but I would give your "Vingegaard" at 2:40 a solid 8/10. Big ups from Denmark!

I like both Slovenians and have been team Roglic, but now I'm not so sure. Great race from Gaudu and I really feel for Woods, he is just always there in the final of an Ardennes but doesn't have the kick to win. I'm always amazed you put together such concise but thorough recaps so quickly. I love the dry humor. Keep 'em coming.

Great to finally see excellent commentary on Cycling! Please keep up the good work!

Pogacar is more nimble then Roglic. Rogluc sometimes make clumsy things, Pogacar rarely. and bedude that Pog has much. Much better team support. His team is usually there when he need it.

Just incredible commentary. Everything else falls flat in terms of pure content. I can't watch anything else with such a complete breakdown. I enjoy cycling so much more because of your particular talents, Lanterne. You are just awesome.

“this video has be shorter than 20 minutes so there’s no time to show the whole wheel change” hahaha

Thanks for your coverage. Helpful. Yes, I liked the photo at about 2:05 also, but I cannot say exactly why. Like you, it caught my eye.

"can't show the whole rear wheel change" - haha good one. Honestly, these old school stages are relics now. Just lop 100km off the damn thing and make it more fun for everyone.

Team Pogacarmstrong!! Kidding pogacar is one hell of a cyclist! And i love his expressive and bold but on the other hand humble nature.

Great recap. Thanks.

Another great video!

They are both solid riders, I can't pick because I like them both. Wouldn't mind having either one of them on my team

This video has got to be under 20 minutes so I can't show the full rear wheel change. Completely straight voice. Love it!

5:20 Bauke Mollema's headshake and resignation as the sprint begins in the second group down the road is a killer to watch.

Poglić vs Roglić. Can't wait to see them race more. Same for Evenepoel.

It’s nice to see so called GC riders not being “one trick ponies” and riding & contending in the Classics!!! This is where Froome & Bernal get a thumbs down from me!! Sick of hearing “GC” this “GC” that...ALL the greats rode the grand tours AND the classics!! So fair play to both Pogacar & Roglic 👏🏻

Great review there LR!! It was shocking team management that Ineos got zero results from this race for the amount of effort they put in at one stage!!

Pogacar is a better all-rounder than Roglic for sure, but I want Roglic to win the TDF this year.

I'm team Roglič because when he exploded onto the scene, he was basically the only Slovenian rider who could contend with the best. It's weird that only a couple of years later we got Pogačar, who's basically better in every aspect and I think plenty other Slovenians are confused by that as well.

I have been Team UAE 🇦🇪 and Team Pogačar from the beginning. Great win.

Nice recap! Only comment I want to make is that they were actually sprinting with a side/tailwind, which was coming from the north. You can also notice that from the flags at around 5.40 into the video.

Pogacar is incredible. He's such a complete rider and seems down to earth enough not to let the success ruin him. He's a joy to watch. Question for LR, if Alaphillipe had sprinted left would he not have blocked Woods or Gadu and been more likely to be in trouble for deviation off his line? And giving Pog even more scope to come past on the right?

2:07 Indeed that is a fantastic photo!

Well done.... As an avid cyclist and fan you do a very good job. Love the content!

Straigt fire from LR

The final order was the inverse to the leadout , showing the decisive impact of the wind. Perhaps Hirshi was wanting too put pressure so the sprint would be launched early, which would benefit Pogacher who he could see well placed at the back. Very clever.

Pogachar is really a complete rider. GT, classics, ITT he can do them all. UAE made a huge mistake signing one-time Vuelta champion paying huge salary, but makes amend by signing Pogacar.

as an all rounder i think i appreciate Pogi's skills better, like, this man can do fucking everything (and do it extraordinarily well, at that), but come on, I can't chose one over the other, Rogla is just as much of a fucking king

Pogacar is simply the best rider of the world and there's no discussion about it!

thanks for cycling news / race.

I think TDF 2020 made it evident that TJV is the best team, and Pogacar is the best individual cyclist in the pro peloton.

I think the only thing that Roglic has over Pogacar is his altitude climbing, and when he's on his day they are even in the TT I think.

Man these GC contenders are so young lately unbelievable

I am always amazed how riders can get back on to the peloton after having issues (mechanical, crashes, etc.). Sure, they can use the cars, but I imagine it is quite the effort, especially in the latter stages of the race. The guys in the front of the peloton are riding tempo, so you have to ride at least a bit harder than that to catch up. Wonder how much it takes out of a rider. Seems like not too much in Pogacar's case ;)

They are both crazy. Pogacar is probably the better rider? It's photo finish with Roglic at this moment though.

Tell me lord Lanterne, how do you MANAGE to make these exactly 8:15 every time 😩

Fortunately things are shaping up so we get to answer " Pog vs Rog?" at the Tour this year. Both have equal motivation and relevant experience, both should be in good form, and at this point I reckon the respective team support to be about equal - UAE have improved and JV seem to be missing Dumoulin.

Hirschi probably knew they couldn’t catch the front group even he pulled as much as he can but at the same time wanted that 6th place.

Great vid but i think you undersold the work woods put in after the break was established

I have one issue with Pogacar: Mauro Gianetti, the dirtiest man in cycling.

As much as I like to see how aggressive and a complete rider Pogi is, the thing that sticks in my mind and will always have a question mark of suspicion hanging over his every pedal stroke is the Mauro Gianetti connection.

2:12 I agree great picture. Took a screenshot.

@LR it’s ‘ve con dos huevos (Bala)’ meaning ‘go with both your balls (Alejandro)’.

Great coverage of a great classic season. Do you think it's possible for non-GC teams to race a Grand Tour like a series of one-day races? Can they make such a selection there and create chaos in the GC battle by forcing GC riders to use their energy everyday? Or the non mountain stages are not hard enough to do that?

I think pogacar is a more exciting rider and stronger overall but you can’t deny Roglic is Uber strong and respectable as well

nice.

This is the year they are closely matched. I'm afraid this is Rogla's last chance to win TDF .. As a long-time Primož fan I'm gutted but Tadej is a once in 50 years talent. Let him win another couple of Tours, then we'll really start the "greatness" debate.

In 10 years this will back on feeds

Hirschi chasing behind puts pressure on the other 4 to leadout the sprint faster. It allows pog to sit in. In this case the gap is too big for it to matter. If it were a smaller gap it would force one of the other 4 to ride harder on the front to not get caught. Pog could sit in with his teammate bridging. Even if Hirschi and others catch now pog has a leadout man.

POGS!

So glad pogacar beat that crazy swerving frenchman in a fair sprint 👍

Tadej is number 1 for me

It might look like Pogačar won the race but Valverde actually won after the race organisers accidentally placed the photo finish 300m from the line.

Valverde had to go first. He's not explosive enough right now to overcome Alaphilippe or Pogacar from the back. His only option is to go ahead, attack first, with a 4-5 metres of distance, and see if he could somehow break a gap with Woods/Gaudu.

Yes, this was the plan. Some other years Valverde in this way escaped and won. This time not and not “expert” are screaming that he should wait or been behind. No way.

Pogacar with no questions at all is the best overall rider....He'll win TDF this year, and next year he'll go for Giro/Tour double, if Soccer World cup happen, they normally adds one more week in between bot Grand tours, so more recovery, just as Froome tried in 2018 and he was so close. We need to wait for a couple of years for Remco, Bernal comes to his best, Ayuso (He'll be in UAE too) so pogacar can have real competition in the Grand tours

I think pogacar is the stronger rider but I just prefer him because generally he’s more aggressive.
