106th Ronde van Vlaanderen: April 3rd, 2022

Watching the overhead, MVDP played that perfectly. Aware of the speed of the chasers, whereas Pogacar wasn't?

 

[ppanther92]

I get why Pogacar is angry. He didn't even get to sprint cause he was trapped in. But that said it was fully on his own.

 

[Salvarani]

They just came with more speed from behind and Pog lost the wheel on MVDP. If he had the wheel and didnt lose 5-10 meters, he wouldnt have got boxed in by the others. Van Baarle or Madouas did nothing wrong there.

Pogacar such a spoiled little brat.showing his true colours

 

[Volderke]

Pog will get the young rider's award, no?

 

[AlfaLum]

What a disgraceful sprint by van baarle. He clearly change his line

Lol, he is clearly trying to jump into van der Poels wheel after passing by Pogacar. Pogacars own stupid mistake because he started his sprint as such a low pace. Pogie only has himself to blame here, nobody else.

 

[Mayomaniac]

UMM, do you mean what you typed?

No, it was just a stupid joke.

Pogacar with a Remco-like reaction at the line

Arrogant twit.

 

[red_flanders]

Never quite seen the like. Incredible!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Van der pole today became one of my favourite riders. So cool in the finale. Knowing the others would be too tired to outsprint him.

WVA would have ridden the front from 1km and led out Pogacar

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

I don’t even think this is Van Der Poel’s top top form as I didn’t see him making many attacks today.

How many people could control their emotions after 6 hours of brutal racing ...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ah, now I see why, from the overhead view. Pogacar thinks he was interfered with by VB...

Van Baarle kept his line, Pogacar only has himself to blame.

Wow at MvdP's acceleration from the helicopter shot!

Pogacar underestimated that. MvdP obviously has insane acceleration. So when the chasers came up he could match them almost instantly while Pogacar could not, leving him trapped.

Pogacar just had nothing left lol.

This is just Alaphilippe PTSD.

 

[Izzyeviel]

One of the greatest botches in cycling history. He did an amazing job in preparing for the race, he did a great job until the last km... and then decided to play silly buggers at the last.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Unbelievable! For the last hour or so I was in awe watching the new Merckx dismantling strongest cobble specialists on his Flandres debut. At the end he f**ked it up in most ridiculous way possible!

He was interfered heavily. But VB not to blame. Pogacar himself got him trapped in.

Exactly, he lost the wheel. It was decided then.

Relax!. He was still great in this race!

 

[jaylew]

I actually thought Van der Poel went too early because of getting scared by Madouas for a second. Almost reverse AGR vibes.

Me too but that heli shot showed no one including Pog had the acceleration and Mathieu got a gap immediately.

What a disgraceful sprint by van baarle. He clearly change his line

I think the heli shot showed Van Baarle did nothing wrong

I'm okay with a little rant there from Pog. He is a fighter.

Heck of comeback from where MVDP was earlier this spring to winning Flanders a few weeks later.
