What a weekend in hell! We look over all the key incidents from this weekend’s Paris Roubaix and Paris Roubaix Femmes Avec …
Going out of my way to run up hills feels kind of silly and almost counter productive, especially when the run is supposed to be easy.
..but then I was also like smirking to myself during my last marathon because it was a hilly last 6 miles and people were fading, but my silly ass did not!!
Great video, love the cooking montages!! 😍
I can't thank you enough Dr Ofenmu YouTube channel for your excellent herbal Hiv remedies produced to your patience as a unique gift.
Alison's win makes up for Wout's loss 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🚀🚀🚀
21:45 Did a bit of digging out of interest and found that the 1942 Giro di Lombardia was won in 5hrs 6min. I guess they had places to be. I feel Cillian Kelly could do a deeper dive.
25:31 Yeah let‘s all just pretend this is normal and move on….
Disc brakes are a disaster waiting to happen again and again!
Great analysis Dan..is GCN going to become relevant again?
MVP should have been dq'd
Great video. Thanks to the rivalry of MVDP and WvA I have never watched an edition of PR so closely nor learned so much about the dynamics and incredible stats of this monument – including the women. Everyone knows about the GC stars and climbing mountains in Grand Tours but the physical and mental demands of PR deserve equal respect.
You have to question, why WVA go with MVDP with about 45km to go when the 2 broke free from the group of 7? MVDP appeared willing to give it a go, but WVA just stayed on his wheel.
Oh I am so tired of hearing about Wurf doing half marathon after PR. I am quite sure a triahtlon ironman is harder, and he has done a few of them. Anyways, good training day for him!
Great analysis. But my big bugbear with classic races are the camera bikes, they provide such an advantage that they can change the course of a race. In Roubaix, Pedersen was towed up to the front group. Gilbert mentioned the 'clever' use of motorbikes. In Flanders, van der Poel got a massive tow when chasing Pogacar. Maybe you should do some analysis of this to hopefully pressurise organisers into not having motor bikes potentially change results.
Dan does the best post race analysis in the business.
As a WVA fan, I don't think he could have closed that gap with MVDP. Perhaps if it was any other rider, but not against MVDP in the best shape of his life and giving it everything he's got. It's a shame though, they really deserved to battle it out man to man.
The women's race was better than the men's this year. Much more fun as a spectator.
LaPorte and van Aert had crucial flats towards the end of the race. I wonder if their tire pressure system had anything to do with it. Jumbo Visma was running a system that could regulate the pressure in the tires and perhaps these were just unlucky punctures, but perhaps the technology had a failure.
America's #FONDLINGFATHER #JOEBIDEN wishes he could kiss every boo-boo and smell the hair of firm young men in pain,
A word on Disc Brakes.
The UCI is responsible for the safety of the sport; hence safety measures should be put in place regarding rotor breaks. The UCI needs to enforce that guards be placed over disc brakes.
Thanks, Dan, particularly for the moment-by-moment breakdown of the John D. flippage, heartbreaking stuff. And what's the answer here, are the pros being too aggressive by either driving into other's lines and not yielding for nothing or it is all, indeed, just racing, no matter what? Whether in a bike race or a drive to work, we all know what it means to back off for a moment when a situation in front of us unexpectedly changes or gets sketchy. And it just seems to me that in that moment when Mathieu was totally large and in charge, he chose to drive right into a fellow top competitor. And it just seems that with all these wrecks in racing these days, something is amiss, no yielding or grace notes or something. And that rider in Flanders, it did look like he was begging to be allowed to scoot over into the bunch but no, perhaps he lacked the street cred, so he off-roaded it and the worst occurred, most unfortunate for many of our favorite pros and him, too, and I had never even heard of that rider.
A joy to watch Mads P.. racing all the way to the finishline.. 👍
My reaction to the men’s final 🤣 #gcnracing #commentoftheweek #gcnshow

Excellent breakdowns of each race. Bravo, GCN!
Watched the women's race for the first time on Saturday, their tactics need work… 1. leaving Vos alone to close the gap not dropping any teammates back… 2. Trek and sd works working in the breakaway and the chase… 3. Taking the middle on all the cobbles instead of the sides like the men..
And there where many more, could be because it's only the third addition of it, but there are ex winners at the men's in most of the cars that should be able to radio them in?
MVDP is a monster. Great work from Jackson too <3
Alison Jackson had the best single-day performance of any Canadian cyclist ever. I can't express how special it was to hear the Canadian National anthem played in the Roubaix velodrome. I was walking on clouds the entire weekend.
Excellent coverage! To be honest, the NCL managed to make criterium racing quite boring…….ugh
The women's Paris-Roubaix was, imo, the best race of the season. Viva la Breakaway!
we now need a GCN show about the top 5 disc break injures, vs the top 5 rim break injures.
You know it's difficult terrain when a former winner like Longo Borghini's sliding out like that.
Love that Ali was the one working hardest in the breakaway and still won the sprint.
The little dance at the end was great.
WVA must be starting to feel a little like Jimmy White to Stephen Hendry in these monuments now.
Even as a Wout fan, I’m not sure you can really say he is true rival of MVDP anymore, it’s just too lopsided. Still no doubt an amazing rider, and one I’ll hope can eventually win a non covid monument.
Just hearing you describe some of those injuries sends shivers down my spine. Holy hell.
Damn shame WvA got a puncture at the end. I think he would have won otherwise. Imagine if Jasper made MvdP crash too instead of just the other guy. Still congrats to MvdP
Would tubeless with inserts solve the problems with flats?
Such a great review thanks
I think while the Degenkolb crash is a racing incident, it is Alpecin’s fault. No issue with racing incidents but Philipsen’s celebrations, behind van der poel finishing, while he still had a lap to go left a bad taste in my mouth. He should’ve got the job done for 2nd before throwing hands in the air
I’ve ridden with Alison on gravel and road in Abbotsford, BC and I have to say she is an amazing person and all of Canada is celebrating her prestigious win!!!🇨🇦🎉🎊
What sort of tyres were Jumbo-Visma using? They seemed to have more punctures than the rest of the field combined.
I really feel sorry for Degenkolb – after that horrible injury he got back in 2015, he comes back, and is a front runner up till about 10 km from the finish,. Sigh.
What dos GC mean?
