Which was your favourite attack? Let us know 👇
MVDP at the World Championships Road Race
World champion attack MvdP not mentioned😂😂 That should be number 1. Which idiot approved to post this?
very bad choices in my opinion
MVDP world championship and Michal woods at the tour
mvdp world champs, Pogi Fleche and Amstel, Pidcocks downhill at Strade, Remco at thr vuelta cant remember the stage, but bad list imo
What is this list? Has to be 50% women or what? Woods from tour? MVDP world? Kuss from the Vuelta actually 2 times? Pidcock from SanRemo? This is ridiculous
Simply beautiful.
Brings back some memories about a really great season. But next time you should do two seperate lists for women and men because there have been many epic attacks in both pelotons which have not been included due to making just one list. The cycling sport contains more than enough great rides to make two lists each year.
Quinn simmons from vuelta san juan on race track was great.
Victor Lafay 🎉
50% women? Hilarious 🤡
The fact that you didn't have Mads Pedersen at Bemer Cyclassics invalidates this entire list!
Sepp Kuss?
1:34 smoove!
I like van Empel, but why is that attack on the list?
All the 9 other moves resulted in winning major races.
Is getting caught a single kms afterwards really worth the 8th best attack in the season?
Lol sorry but did an intern who didn't watch cycling this year put this together?
Not a big race but Wout van Aert in Britain was a special move/attack which would deserve a place just because it was teamwork.
You can have a Female top 10 instead of this non-sense. IMO MVDP attack on Worlds should be at least a top 3 given the drama.
Not only is MvdP's amazing San-Remo attack only in 10th, but his attack at the World Championships isn't even on the list!
Next year’s edit needs to include the actual attack, not the overhead shot when the others have already been distanced
Bad list…MVDP attack San Remo 10? No World Championship included? Damn…
Terrible editing – where are the actual attacks?! This should've been a 10min video with the attack, break and win.
Incredibile…where is van der poel wc?
Pog stage 6 tdf was the best imo, very unexpected.
this is the 3rd list of 2023, in which MVDP is undervalued or does not appear at all 😕
Don’t include women’s
Call this the top 10 list of Wokeness.
Thanks for the mix of men and women.
Wait where is MvdP WC not here ans why is San-Remo 10 and not AT LEAST top 3. For me it was no 1.
