How The How The Race Was Won Was Made

Posted on 25 May 20174 July 2021 by cosmo

For as long as I’ve been making these, people have been asking how long it takes. Now you can see for yourself (sort of).

The finished video is here: https://cyclocosm.com/2017/05/how-the-race-was-won-giro-ditalia-2017-stages-10-15/, though the kitchen sequence is actually from here: https://cyclocosm.com/2017/05/how-the-race-was-won-giro-ditalia-2017-stages-5-9/. Stages 1-4, if you’re curious, are here: https://cyclocosm.com/2017/05/how-the-race-was-won-giro-ditalia-2017-stages-1-4/

And the Recon Ride (Rest Day Round-Up?) recorded (off-camera) between segments here: https://cyclocosm.com/2017/05/the-recon-ride-podcast-giro-ditalia-2017-rest-day-round-up-ii/

    Thanks for pulling back the curtain! I agree with Jerome: Hard not to appreciate your vids even more after seeing how you go about it.

    Love the way the beer moves around on the desk seemingly of its own accord…

    How The Race Was Won has really taught me how to watch a bike race, and it has made me into a big cycling fan knowing how many tactical aspects there are to a bike race. Thanks for teaching me! Also: I’m dutch and thus very happy 🙂
