Sporza has posted never-before-seen footage from behind the scenes of the Tour of Flanders on social media. The footage shows the podium finishers of the women's and men's Tour of Flanders discussing various things before they were allowed to take their places on the podium.
Lotte Kopecky asked Mads Pedersen whether he had come second or third. "Second, but after Tadej..." the Dane replied with a smile.
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot turned to Tadej Pogacar and asked how his partner, Urska Zigart, who he had gone to a tennis match with on Monday, was doing.
Liane Lippert realized that Mathieu van der Poel was talking about her shoes. "Are you gossiping about mine?" the German said with a smile. "These shoes are super cool. Last year, we even had ones we could click into our pedals." Pogacar also joined the conversation and said his shoes would allow him to run the fastest.
