Lance, JB, George, and Johan break down an impressive ride from Mathieu van der Poel to win a World Championships after the Dutch superstar stormed clear of and held off a firepower-laden front group of Mads Pedersen, Tadej Pogačar, and Wout van Aert, despite a late-race crash, on a slick and extremely technical city center course in Glasgow Scotland. The crew covers how Van der Poel was able to turn around his summer with this win after a quiet Tour de France, the state of the rivalry between Van der Poel and Van Aert, as well as how Remco Evenepoel was unable to defend his title, and Pogačar putting in a strong ride to grab third place after a tough Tour de France. Before signing off, they discuss how the climate protests, which paused the race for over an hour, and rainy weather, which caused Van der Poel to crash late in the race, could have drastically altered the outcome.
