[iPad/iPhone/m4v if the embed doesn’t work] I don’t like to do produce these things “late”—but then again, I don’t have complete control over my own work schedule, either. And to be entirely honest, the 2013 edition wasn’t exactly a race for the ages. Still, it’s a “monument” (though I’ve never been clear on the root…

How The Race Was Won x BTB TV – Gran Prix of Gloucester
It was tough to resist the temptation to voice-over this one in my finest North Shore accent. GP Gloucester is a New England staple—though super-dry conditions, while appeasing some unhappy locals, made the event almost unrecognizable in parts. Perhaps it wasn’t surprising, then, to a see a California-based New England transplant come to the front…
How The Race Was Won – UCI Women's World Road Race 2013
[iPad/iPhone/m4v if the embed doesn’t work] So in a curious reversal of the normal state of affairs, I was able to get footage to Saturday’s Women’s RR before I could acquire the the Men’s Event from Sunday—which, in case you think I’m just sitting around not making you videos, I still haven’t gotten to watch…
How the Race Was Won x BTB TV – Trek Cyclocross Collective Cup 2013
This week’s Behind the Barriers feature is the Trek CX Collective Cup—it’s the first-ever running of the event, so you can understand some of my confusion on the exact details. Despite the seemingly ad-hoc venue (Trek HQ!) and firm conditions, the sharp elevation changes and thoughtful tape routing made for a selective and hard-fought event….
How The Race Was Won x BTB TV – Rapha Starcrossed CX 2013
Yes, the rumors are true—I’ll be teaming up with BehindtheBarriers.tv this ‘cross season to produce “How The Race Was Won” episodes of the CX races they film. Pretty nifty stuff if I do say so myself. The first collab is from Rapha Starcrossed CX, this past weekend’s season opener. Fast, flat, and a little dusty,…
How The Race Was Won – GP Ouest-France 2013
I know, I know—we’d all rather see a Vuelta recap, but this month the day job has been particularly rigorous. You’ll all have the ability to help me out with that in the near future, but for now, the Grand Prix Ouest-France will have to suffice. [iPad/iPhone/m4v if the embed doesn’t work] Anyway, plenty of…
How The Race Was Won – USA Pro Challenge 2013
If the event is looking a bit unsettled about its name, may I suggest “Tour of Colorado”? Sorry it’s a bit late, and afraid I won’t be doing HTRWW for the Vuelta due to some time zone issues and day job time constraints. That said, there’s more going on over the next months than 21…
How The Race Was Won – Clasica San Sebastian 2013
Does anyone call this the Climber’s Classic? Well, they shouldn’t. Sure, the length of the race and climbs take a toll, but they’re pretty tame as far as slope goes, and a clever all-rounder can get away if the favorites can’t seem to sort things out—and if the motos don’t provide too much support to…
How The Race Was Won – Tour de France 2013, Stages 16-21
A complete HTRWW’d grand Tour, all released next-day in spite of a weird centennial schedule, non-standard Euro codecs, and all sorts of crazy fans—though judging by the last week rider-on-fan violence, I think it might be important for spectators to scale it back a touch. Need to catch up? Part 1, Part 2, Part 3….
How The Race Was Won – Tour de France 2013, Stages 10-15
Crosswinds! Crash drama! Sylvain Chavanel demonstrating additional facets of his seemingly limitless skillset! One week remaining, with each day’s profile revealing legitimate, game changing potential. Catch up here (Stages 1-4, Stages 5-9) and watch the fireworks tomorrow. [click for iPad/iPhone/download]
