Episode 35: Volta a Catalunya 2016 The Volta a Catalunya is a great race and an old race, but underproduced and out of place on the WorldTour calendar–or at least that’s what I think. Dane Cash of VeloHuman, who was at the event itself last year, has some different thoughts as we pick some potential…

Episode 34: Milan-Sanremo 2016 The World Tour’s longest race also brings the most compressed action, but I’m pretty resigned to thinking this thing is always going to be a sprint. Dane Cash of VeloHuman and I discuss the good and the bad of that, tab a few favorites, and even get some on-the-ground info from…

Episode 33: Tirreno-Adriatico 2016 A mid-week stage race that’s comfortable with who it is, but at the same time isn’t afraid to try new things.

Some fantastic course features have been worked back into the route, and a compressed…

With Il Lombardia, Paris-Tours, and the Abu Dhabi Tour in the books, most of the riders in the pro peloton are now enjoying some well-deserved time off, so the Recon Ride p/b VeloNews is getting into offseason mode too.

Episode 29: Il Lombardia 2015 The Recon Ride Powered by VeloNews rolls into the end of the season for the fifth and final “monument” of the year—a mere six months since the last one.

Episode 28: Richmond UCI World Road Championships 2015 In our inaugural Powered by VeloNews edition of the Recon Ride, Dane Cash (@velohuman / VeloHuman.com) and I discuss the general weirdness of world champion events and racing, examine the surprisingly thoughtful race course, go over the favorites, and check in with Taylor Phinney, Sep Vanmarcke, and…

Episode 27: GP Quebec & GP Montreal 2015 With worlds in North America and the Vuelta improving/degenerating into a pain-fest, the French Canadian GPs are especially prominent this year.
