    Noooo. Bloody eurosport taking the video down. Surely there’s a way to fight it?

      I think CyclingTips is working on the rights bit. In the meantime, it’s back, hosted somewhere else for the time being.

    Removed? By Eurosport? Copyrights? WTF?!!

    Boooooo! Nasty Eurosport should be employing Cosmo, not blocking him.
    Already watched it though and ‘chapeau’ for the usual high standard of analysis. The more relaxed approach to the subtitles is appreciated. First time I’ve been able to keep up without freezeframe. Liked the comparisions with last year too.

    I saw some suggestion that Sagan dropped his chain at the line – hence the swerve and the coming together shortly afterwards – not sure if it would have changed the oucome though.

    Great as always.
    Nice to see CyclingTips picking this up. Even if the video doesn’t exist there. Hopefully they can make a deal with Eurosport.
    Will you also post to YouTube? Or should we just follow your personal page RSS?

    As always, great job Cosmo. Insightful and entertaining in equal parts, glad to see HTRWW back up and running again! Kudos to Cyclingtips for picking you up, they’re onto a winner! 😉

    Thanks

    Your regularly scheduled edition of the Peter Sagan show may be preempted this evening. Ungodly weather over the Turchino, still pretty awful weather along the coast, relentless attacking from an unleashed domestique, two major races changes on death defying descents, something resembling a shower cap, and artful slow-roll the likes of which we haven t seen since last week? Good times indeed.
