Tough sport
Where is Pogacar, Shurter, Avancini, Hermida?
The black and white thumbnail made me think the dude on it died or something…
As a WVA fan I have to say, I'm impressed with the ride of MVDP. Wout came back well for second, but had no answer today for Matthieu.
Merry Christmas everybody and don't forget WVA is still better than MDVP 😉
C'mon
MVDP is on another level. Hopefully full natty brah.
0:58… se le fue sola la bicicleta pero la pudo contrar…? 👋🎄
MVDP is just majestic in the crowd, that cant be missed. There must be a lot in store from this guy in 2024
Mvp superb, again
Wow
Why is the commentator mentioning Pidcock? He is just an average rider.
The hype of pidcock is over he should just ride mtb can’t believe he earn more than vingegaard
Not even looking tired at all! Another walk in the park 😀
When I saw both MVDP and WVA in this same race at the start, I was expecting another head to head battle to the end, like I saw last season. Then with MVDP pulling out of the pedal at the start, drifting toward the back, uh-oh, maybe Wout takes this one. But the MVDP rides one of the most incredible cyclocross races I have ever seen, destroying the field. Hard to say Wout was having an off day when he surged to a 2nd place finish, but it almost seemed that way, if only because of MVDP.
While it was still great seeing the other races without MVDP, WVA, and Piddcock, but dang, having them all back makes things so much more exciting to watch.
Great highlights

Mvdp is a beast
Как же круто это было!
