How The Race Was Won™ – Strade Bianche 2019

Posted on 11 March 20194 July 2021 by cosmo

Happy to be doing How The Race Was Won™ again with Eurosport in 2019, and happy to start it with Strade Bianche, beacuse gravel racing is road racing. Didn’t you see the meme?

Thanks again to Eurosport Cycling for making this happen, and don’t hesitate to click the “no, please help!” link in the upper right of the video player especially if you live in France or outside of Europe as you are likely to have issues with the video if you are in these places.

    Cosmo, I really liked your videos. The only thing in the upper right hand corner is the “Share” button. This is the same issue I have had since you moved to Eurosport. I have never seen the No, please help! button to click on. I miss your unique and inciteful perspective on World Tour racing.

      I don’t understand how you’re seeing a share button. There shouldn’t be a share button.

      Ok, I think I figured it out—my guess is you’re looking at the upper-right corner of the iPhone screen. Look at the upper right(ish) of the video window.

    Why do I always feel like we watched totally different races? How did you see those phones? As always, amazing work!

    Shhhiiit man!
    Inciteful & humorous as always, you rip the race apart. I hope your wife appreciates your efforts more that the cycle fans.

    Year after year TV doesn’t show the big climbs on SB.
    And they’d be better later.
    Great stuff as always, Cosmo.
