My incisive video analysis of yesterday’s race. Apologies for the poor audio, USB mic is in the mail. Ask about any muddled parts in the comments and I will clarify.

    I dug this immensely.

    Gotta agree with Colin. Awesome content, but could’ve done without the auctioneer-like speed.

    You should offer abridged versions of the TdF – 15 espressos can easily push you to condense 12 hours of DVDs into 10 minutes.

    Welcome back.

    BTW, you called it when you predicted a decline in quality reporting on Cyclingnews post-acquisition (http://cyclocosm.com/2007/07/what-a-lousy-day/). At the time, I thought you were a little pessimistic but the change has been quite swift and sad.
