    Great stuff – I LOL’d, not once, but at least twice. Please keep doing these while holding down a day job. Maybe the UCI TV team will get the drift and staff accordingly.

    Arrgh, the week is so long waiting for another of your releases. Today was a public holiday in Sydney, Anzac Day, and without work to distract me, it was terribly slow waiting for something new cycling related.

    The finale up MurderWee was impressive. Can’t wait to see if the All-New 2014 Spanish Method gets a mention. Go!? Valverde

    Ok so level with me. The reason you have not started your own cycling media company is what?

      Well, wrong continent, wrong language for starters 🙂

      Actually, I sorta have created my own media company. It’s just not profitable…yet.

      I did add my first give-cosmo-money donation link on this Soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/cosmocatalano/liege-bastogne-liege-chorale-kazakh-beats-orchestra-remix. Prosperity is just around the corner!

    Another great video, thank you! I always really enjoy both TWIB (heh, “twin”) and HTRWW. I am especially enjoying your continued advocacy for TV coverage of women’s races.

    I think if the panda holds his attack until just a bit later he’s a chance for the LBL podium.

    Don’t mind if you wipe last comment… I have always wondered, is there a cache of 2009 HTRWW lost in the ethernet or was life just too busy?

      Oh, yes—they should all be on youtube/vimeo. I’ll fix the Cyclocosm posts sometime soon so that the live versions are embedded.

    Even pictures where lacking for the women’s race. Steephill had 61 pics for the men’s race and 6 for the women 2 of which included Valverde…

    Will you play the L-B-L hymn from last year if you produce a HTRWW for that race?

    UCI’s race recaps or not the greatest although their full 25 minute race review are great. They often take a little too long to be made but feature comment before and after the race from several riders, all the important moves within the last 60k and a background check on a specific rider, team mechanic or the likes.
    They even make the race quite exciting if you don’t know the outcome.
