How The Race Was Won – Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2013

Posted on 24 February 20134 July 2021 by cosmo

Opening the season right: by putting entirely too much effort into a video for a not-especially-interesting bike race. That said, who isn’t glad for some serious news relating to actually racing bikes instead of throwing lawyers around? And a good fight from some names a few steps below the marquee is always nice to see.

    So glad to see cobbles again, even though the race was a let down.

    I know it was taken down due to copyright reasons, but is there a possibility for you to re-upload the HTRWR on Mende?

    Today have been quite the disappointment due to race cancellations, but your great video cheered me up 🙂

    Please keep these coming… it’s obviously a lot of work, and reputedly not well remunerated, so I know it’s a big ask, but… well, I do love them…

    I wonder if the 2rmag.com guys would be willing to share some spoils with you?

    Downton Abbey is done for the season AND HTRWW is back? Mondays just got a lot better around my house.

    Awesome! Glad you’re back. Your HTRWW videos got me up to speed on the pro scene when I first started getting into it a couple years ago. Humour!
