Wayne pudding Mol Posted April 21, 2019 Share My money was on Simon Clarke when they were handed the beers, but MVDP has some skulling skills too Edited April 21, 2019 by Waynemol EvanB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted April 21, 2019 Share Yip it's back to cyclocross & MTB for him. What a luxury to be able to make that choice. Nino wishing MVDP made a different choice??Every cyclist wishing he goes on a long holiday. This has the same feel to it as when that young Slovakian kid burst on to the scene..VDP is here to stay no matter which discipline .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted April 21, 2019 Share Wow where did MvDP come from? That must have been one of the craziest last few kms behind him. I would love to see his power meter data...... splat and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted April 21, 2019 Share My wife just asked me what's the movie on mnet tonight. I said we going to watch the final few kms of this race again and again and again. Underachiever, Wayne pudding Mol, Gen and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted April 21, 2019 Share My kids thought someone had died and when they looked at the TV MvDP was on the ground. They thought a car hit him. What a race, so glad I tuned in!

splat Posted April 21, 2019 Share Wow where did MvDP come from? That must have been one of the craziest last few kms behind him. I would love to see his power meter data...... He must have been at max power for a few KM to close that gap and keep powering past everyone. Incredible!His emotion and tears after the finish is infectious. The disbelief at his own achievement: http://cdn.media.cyclingnews.com/2019/04/21/1/bettiniphoto_0388822_1_2000px_670.jpg Edited April 21, 2019 by splat Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted April 21, 2019 Share What a contrast to the usual finger pointing and sad "they did not want to work together" stories from the usual suspects. The kid was pulling that 3d bunch for most of the last 5km. Yes, the cat and mouse tactics helped him, but he also made his own luck.

Ozzie NL Posted April 21, 2019 Share Commentators went on about 4000m ascent but Willie's Smit Strava is just over 3k which seems more believable Unless Willies Garmin reset when he was showing the motoman his wattage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted April 21, 2019 Share Lesson about courage and never giving up dished out today. It took the peloton quite a while to work out how to beat Sagan when he burst onto the scene..I think they may take even longer to figure out how to beat VDP. When he does move to a big team.. he must really go to a team that will allow him to race with freedom for as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted April 21, 2019 Share Yep, sorry, don't have Comic Sans font on the phone, was being sarcastic. Everyone is building it up as MvdPoel's race to lose, so it feels like everyone else is just a long shot.Well now I look like a tjop... At least I have Allaphillipe and Fuglsang for company Looking forward to watching this kid dish out all sorts of @+-whoopings in the years to come Gen, Long Wheel Base, Fred van Vlaanderen and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted April 21, 2019 Share Watching Mat dominate this past CX season with early solo attacks .. boring. Watching Mat win like he did today .... priceless. Guess he night be thinking Olympic Road Race now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
