How The Race Was Won – Tour de France 2014 – Stages 6-10
A transitional week of crosswinds, short climbs, and moderate mountains. The GC race continues to not be shaped by traditional forces, and a standout contender solidifies his lead. Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8jOWWsSb_g&t=3m45s [iPad/iPhone/m4v]
How The Race Was Won – Tour de France 2014 – Stages 1-4
As I mentioned after Stage 5, we’re a little out of order here. Relieve the opening few days among massive crowds in England that were…maybe not so used to seeing a bike race. Music: https://soundcloud.com/dimmakrecords/the-chainsmokers-selfie-4 [iPad/iPhone/m4v]

How The Race Was Won – Tour de France 2014 – Stage 5
I really couldn’t sum this one up in a minute-long, 180-world sound clip. Nibali gets to show his handling skills are for more than descending, Froome struggles from the beginning, and a whole lot of people attempt to limit their losses.

How The Race Was Won – Criterium du Dauphine 2014
A lot of successful breakaways, early GC action, smart riding, bold moves, and a surprise winner. Stage races should always be this fun—though maybe not so difficult to rework. Music: https://soundcloud.com/djskillzmusic/florida-georgia-line-how-we-roll [iPad/iPhone/m4v]
