don't quite get as to why Iga discontinued level of intensity she had in first set and played not to lose in the second and gave up on her aggressive approach from then on, had she played 2nd like she did 1st it would have been 2 straight sets affair

...Η Μελίνα, που, όταν επί Κατοχής ο λαός πέθαινε από την πείνα, αυτήν διασκέδαζε, "κερατώνοντας" τον γηραιό και βεβαίως βενιζελικό μεγιστάνα σύζυγό της ...Η Μελίνα, που, όταν ο λαός πεινούσε και πήγαινε τοίχο-τοίχο, για να μην τον σκοτώσουν, αυτή έκανε μεθυσμένη βόλτες με τα γερμανικά καμπριολέ ...Η Μελίνα, η οποία ήταν ανιψιά και προστατευόμενη του ιδρυτή του χιτλερικού εθνοσοσιαλιστικού κόμματος της Ελλάδας ...Ανιψιά του τοποθετημένου από τους Ναζί διοικητή της Εθνικής Τράπεζας ...Ανιψιά του δωσίλογου θείου, τον οποίο όταν πέθανε τον έθαψε μέσα σε θρήνο με λιγοστούς συγγενείς και πάμπολλους Ναζί αξιωματικούς. ...Η Μελίνα, που, όταν η Ελλάδα υπέφερε, ζούσε το "όνειρό" της ...Το "όνειρο" της κινηματογραφικής "Μαλένας". Ένα "όνειρο", το οποίο περιελάμβανε πολλούς "θαυμαστές" ...Έλληνες και Ναζί. Πού το "ζούσε"; ...Στην Ακαδημίας 4 ...λίγα μέτρα απέναντι από το κολαστήριο της Γκεστάπο στην Μέρλιν ...Στην κυριολεξία ένας τοίχος τούς χώριζε. Από τη μια μεριά του τοίχου ούρλιαζαν όσοι πατριώτες συλλαμβάνονταν από την Γκεστάπο για να βασανιστούν και από την άλλη μεριά "ούρλιαζε" η Μελίνα από όσους "συλλάμβανε" στα μπαρ για να την "βασανίσουν" ...Δωσίλογους κυρίως, γιατί σ' εκείνες τις γειτονιές δεν πλησίαζε κανένας άλλος. Όσες φορές πλησίαζαν, τους κατέδιδαν -για να κάνουν την "πλάκα" τους- κάτι τύποι σαν τη Μελίνα ...Τη Μελίνα, η οποία πηδιόταν στο μπαλκόνι της, βλέποντας τις προσαγωγές της Γκεστάπο ..."Μαλένα" και όχι Μελίνα θα έπρεπε να την λένε.

doesnt it stand to reason that the best player will have the best cue action? So it will be Judd Trump

Mads P 💪

MvdP would've won if he rode for Quickstep

Yeah yeah

I am starting to get the hate for Nole from another dimension. It's like the fight between religions. Federers fanatics are like al kaida . They cannot stand christians. They would like there to be one God. But there are 3.

Iam guessing the wind that MVDP breaks for his rather small fellow escapé is much more then the other way around

JH thought he was playing on a brown envelope.

On the full coverage it looked like mvdp pulled up and stopped after they were caught, close to the end. Why was that?

He was gassed, i think he would've won that sprint.

Well, I think the canyon sram kit looks best. Both the bikes and clothes. Race looked exiting despite the sick domination

Definitely Dan

ZIV BIO ,😍😍😍RODE MOJ

Dan Lloyd: I'm a bike race commentator. This guy: I'm a Game of Thrones commentator.

Verry nice performance by Mathieu van der Poel 💪🏼

Atentos a Aramburu y García cortina amigos¡!!

Sådan Mads P 👏👏🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

Świątek is a Prodigy...

Arrêtez votre comédie avec vos masques qui ne servent a rien et laissez respirer les coureurs!!! honteux que les instances cyclistes et les clubs se plient et se soumettent a cette volonté absurde de ces gouvernements!!

Was rooting for Ronnie. Well played by John though

Rocket time. I miss when players looked for 147s

How bout Tom. Solid ride🤙🏽

Mads👍🏻Good job dude 💪🏼😘

VDP is the only guy who wants to race. Others are just hanging on his wheel. It's a little bit of shame. 😔

Honestly, if you were in a break with him and you took equal pulls your coach would probably have some choice words for you. You have to be strategic.

That was the first Classic I've ever watched and I am hooked. It was a good race.

Bro rewatch tour of flanders last year I have never seen cycling like that.

Ever??

Gotta love having Alaphilippe in your team as a sprinter

BRAWO POLAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job on these highlights

Dunno why MVDP seemed to throw it all away by flying high too early 🤷‍♂️

1. he follows his intuition, despite what is the more "smart move" 2. he is easily bored in these races 3. he uses smaller races as a trainingday

You only get so many chances to roll the dice.. these are usually won by breakaways and you don't want to miss the chance to make the selection. Sometimes you make the right choice, sometimes not

He is making these smaller races training days for strade Bianci. If he wins it is epic! But now he has done some good preparations for the goals he has. Like the binc bank tour last year.

wow

farts propel them faster, big time farts, like BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRt, like a rocket. Fart doping is real

ya...this guys was back

Trentin two top 10 in two days

@Frond Andrieb top effort by both

Nils Politt did too.

Pidcock 💪

Vdp is a big guy

Congratulations to Ballerini. But this is the old Flanders route. With the Muur and Bosberg. Who wants to see a bunch sprint? Well, not me.

We need another AVDB. Her solo victories are quickly becoming the default in women's cycling.

She’s retiring at the end of the season so I’m sure someone else will step up

Мои искренние поздравления братьям сербам!

mvdp another level💝

How tall is vander poel?

1.84

Rob Hatch, my favorite commentator, good to hear you again.

I thought they banned the top tube position?

April

Quality of the highlights really good this year 👏👏👏

All 3 of them are geniuses... For pots like this White with a bit more genius than Ronnie... And Alex a bit more genius than both. Always a very moving tribute from Jimmy when talking about Alex. You can never fail to hear the love and admiration he had for his friend.

Pidcock got third omg

Go girl powers!

Davis and O'Sullivan. Two absolute, all-time legends. Davis's dominance was unbelievable in his time until Hendry came to the fore. Steve is such a modest guy and so honest.

Medvedev v. Tsisipas before this match (5-1). Medvedev v. Zverev before Paris 2020 (1-5). Zverev v. Tsisipas (1-5). This weird three-way H2H proves that tennis is so much about match-ups!

💖💖 EVERBODY Who love tennis should please read my coment.💖💖 EVERYBODY should NOW remember again the AMAZING time when FEDERER era started wimbledon 2003 AND HOW he won one grandslam after the other....and from wimbledon 2003 until us open 2005 the next 10 grandslam tournament Federer won AMAZING 6 grandslams. Everybody should now remember the time when he won his 6th grandslam after the US OPEN 2005. Can you all still remember it? Everbody said in that time, federer becomes be the GOAT and federer was after the us open 2005 like a GOD for the most tennis fans= he won 6 grandslam from the last 10 grandslam tournament in that time and he was back then 84 weeks at no.1. CAN EVERYBODY still remember it the time after the us open 2005? AND exact in this same way, started the SECOND era from the REAL GOAT DJOKOVIC. Novak won now from the last 10 grandslams, since wimbledon 2018 tournament= amazing 6 Title and he is since wimbl18 also +87 week(totally 310) at no.1 :) After the first era from 2011-2016 from djokovic, we are now in novaks second era since Wimbledon 2018-202? So enjoy the time DEAR DJOKOVIC FANS ;)

MvdP = world class everything except tactics.

@mrm95 at least one guy in the comment section knows what’s up.

@Tommy Yes, I understand. MVdP has a lionheart. It was so close. Mads Pedersen owe him a big, big thank you. When VdP and Trentin joined the break at the Worlds '19, the peloton was only 15 - 20 seconds behind. VdP pulled and pulled, so when they started the last round, they had a comfortable 50 seconds lead.

@Tommy They were basically caught with 15 km to go and left dangling off the front as sprinter teams usually do when they catch the break. If the peloton swallows the break immediately upon reaching it, it only encourages counterattacks and diminishes the control the sprinter teams have over the race.

You don't understand that if he had only 1 or 2 racer from his group that were just a bit stronger, the chasing group would have never catch them. He basically pulled the group for the 10 last kilometer alone because they were all so tired except him. 1,5km is nothing, it was very close.

He doesn't need to win this race, he came here to get racing km's in his legs, to do a good training. He could sit in the peleton all day and win this race, but he much rather get a good workout in to get top form for more important races.

MVDP, Narvaez, what a fight! What a race! Congrats Pidcock! Thanks from Brazil.

Saying this and saying that about Naomi Osaka it is not just one sided, To reach that advance level to defeat a lot of very good players, it do not just happen over night you have to putting a lot of hard work to reach that level of maturity, with so much skill in abundance, the way that Naomi Osaka play she is a very positive player, and she is also a skilful attacking player, Naomi Osaka have a positive impact on the game of tennis, and Naomi Osaka is the best play in the world right now, she have advance skill for her age her technique is excellent what make her so good is her determination to win and her ability to dominate her opponent, Right now her strategy is flawless.

Parabéns João Almeida Excelente pódio Abraço de Aveiro Portugal 🇵🇹

Why is Pedersen still wearing rainbow on the collar, is that okay for former world champ?

Yes, as an honour to their previous world champion status, all world champions have the privilege to wear rainbow sleeves and collar for the remainder of their careers.

Yes, it’s normal for former world champs to have the rainbow stripes on their collar and sleeves. The current world champion has the entire jersey with the rainbows on though.

Hold up how are some in an aero tuck?

We will miss you aero tuck :(

Rule implementation at the first of April

Van der poel has won my respect

@Slahudeen Hussain yeeeeaaahhh the best Guy cest mon coureur préféré

@Théo Neveu It was a reply to Kingo_Official

@D. Batt He already had my respect for everything he does

You mean he had not already?

He already had it

another bangin race!

@Slahudeen Hussain He certainly doesn't need me to hype him up! He's super confident in his abilities. No pressure coming from me at all. There is a whole host of young talent out there. The future looks very bright for cycling

@Rich Crompton I think you're overhyping him, I've seen this before where riders had a really good first part of their career but then people put pressure on them and they just vanish, just let him do his own thing.

Tom Pidcock! Second cobble classic as a senior! On the podium! So glad he knows he’s good! He looked very disappointed as he crossed the line. Bodes very well for his future!

The wall from Iga 👍👍👍

Mads P ❤️🇩🇰🥂 CHAMP

Mads P wins thanks to two other Danes who caught the front group. 😊

Kasper is extremely good! DQT threw the wrong rocks at catching the breakaway

Nice to see Pidcock doing well!

Yeah, aside from VDP's epic break I thought Pidcock's third place was the most interesting thing of the day. I mean, I knew he was strong, but sprinting for 3rd against those guys in only his second race at the world tour level - that's damn impressive.

Nicer to see the Danes doing well 🇩🇰😉

@Kevin Espineda ikr 😂😂

It's been a while since I saw Ineos had a good result in a sprint.

@Strait upno kicker lol yea

Can someone explain to me why Van der Poel attended this race? I thought he rode at the UAE Tour? I am confused

Thanks dudes 👏

pulled out of the uae tour after stage one, because there was a case of covid in his team he was negativ so he could race

They had a corona infection in their staff and got banned from the uae tour. Alpecin fenix decided to let him race only KBK and not both races at the opening weekend

Federer main opponents Roddick/hewitt/Safin from 2004-2007 in 4 season to compare, with djokovic main opponents Thiem/medvedev/zverev from 2018-2021 in the last 3 season. Roddick/hewitt/Safin vs Thiem/zverev/medvedev Grandslam titles= 1/1 Grandslam final= 7/7 ATP Final titles = 0 /2 ATP Final finals= 1 /4 Masters 1000 title= 4 /7 Masters 1000 finals= 8 /14 Titles = 23 /25 FINALS = 43 /43 H2H Federer vs hewitt/Safin/roddick from 2004-2007= 26-1 and 12-1 by grandslams H2H Djokovic vs Thiem/zverev/medvedev from 2018-2021= 11-8 and 5-1 by grandslams and dont forget the six months corona break otherwise thiem,zverev, medvedev would reached more... this is a 4 years compare to 2 and half years

1:22 I thought that was banned now the aero tuck?

April fools

@Rischard Grmn what a joke

The ban starts on april 1st.

Not yet, will be banned from first of April

shhhhh

The king forever !!!!

2 years later in quarter finals Tsitsipas would get sweet revenge by beating Nadal from 2-0!!!!

I love how excited the winner was😂🤙

C’mon McEnroe don’t go woke smh

Gefeliciteerd Anna!

Love this race

!

Je to prostě borec!!!

Finally, thanks

same with golf for me, the course every time ruins my Tiger Woods ability, we all know it's always the equipment.

If you was playing and the green was sodden with water you’d blame the course. It’s the same concept

Is that Dan from gcn?

Did you know he used to ride for the cervelo test team?

Yes- the parent company of Eurosport bought GCN a couple of years back, Dan et al are riding the wave (deservedly) :-)

that was my first question once i opened the video

It's Dan from Christchurch, Dorset

Yes

controversial* Gianni Moscon... *Replace with racist

replace with 'my bike is an offensive weapon'

She must plays like here‼️
