The Recon Ride Podcast – GP Quebec and GP Montreal 2016

Posted on 8 September 2016 by cosmo

Episode 56: GP Quebec & GP Montreal The UCI WorldTour comes to Noth America and Dane Cash himself heads up to Canada to score interviews with BMC’s Greg van Avermaet and reigning Montreal champ Tim Wellens of Lotto-Soudal. Oh right—and Dane and I discuss and prognosticate on these unique, underrated, and perhaps slightly misplaced one-day…

The Recon Ride Podcast – Vuelta a Espana 2016, Part 3

Posted on 6 September 2016 by cosmo

Episode 55: Vuelta a Espana, Part 3 As we head into the third week, the unpredictability has continued, but Quintana has also solidified his lead. Dane Cash and I go over the last chances for the Movistar rider’s competitors, and discuss the controversies and remaining racing with Eurosport’s Felix Lowe. https://media.blubrry.com/reconride/p/content.blubrry.com/reconride/The_Recon_Ride_Podcast_Vuela_a_Espan_a_2016_Show_Part_III.mp3 Podcast: Download (Duration: 41:00…

The Recon Ride Podcast – Vuelta a Espana 2016, Part 2

Posted on 30 August 2016 by cosmo

Episode 54: Vuelta a Espana, Part 2 All I can really say is I’d love to have been watching more of this race live. Dane Cash go through the entertaining twists and turns of the first 10 days, and preview the hills and excursions into France slated for this second week. https://media.blubrry.com/reconride/p/content.blubrry.com/reconride/The_Recon_Ride_Podcast_Vuelta_a_Espan_a_2016_Show_Part_II.mp3 Podcast:

The Recon Ride Podcast – Bretagne Classic – Ouest-France 2016

Posted on 26 August 2016 by cosmo

Episode 53: Bretagne Classic – Ouest-France 2016 Not exactly sure why I even bother to put a date after the ever-changing name of this event, but poor event branding not withstanding, while Dane Cash and I have comparatively little to say on this largely underrated race, the overwhelming majority of it is pretty positive. https://media.blubrry.com/reconride/p/content.blubrry.com/reconride/The_Recon_Ride_Podcast_Bretagne_Classic-Ouest-France_2016_Pre-race_Show.mp3…

Posted on 18 August 2016 by cosmo

Episode 52: 2016 Vuelta a Espana, Part 1 The third Grand Tour of the year has a start list that you couldn’t be blamed for confusing with the second. With all the route data—and some help from Trek-Segafredo’s Kiel Reijnen—we work through all the important details. https://media.blubrry.com/reconride/p/content.blubrry.com/reconride/The_Recon_Ride_Podcast_Vuelta_a_Espan_a_2016_Show_Part_I.mp3 Podcast: Download (Duration: 46:57 — 64.5MB) Subscribe: iTunes|RSS…

The Recon Ride Podcast – Olympic Road Race 2016

Posted on 4 August 20164 August 2016 by cosmo

Episode 51: Olympic Road Race 2016 I don’t beat around the bush that the Quadrennial Entity isn’t exactly my favorite sporting event in the world. But Dane Cash is enough of a fan that…*sigh* I guess we can do a podcast on it. https://media.blubrry.com/reconride/p/content.blubrry.com/reconride/The_Recon_Ride_Podcast_Olympic_Road_Race_2016_Pre-race_Show.mp3 Podcast: Download (Duration: 38:54 — 53.5MB) Subscribe: iTunes|RSS Photo by Paul…

The Recon Ride – Tour de France 2016, Part 3

Posted on 19 July 20164 August 2016 by cosmo

Episode 49: Tour de France, Part 3 Ok, so Team Sky and Chris Froome are definitely in charge of this year’s Tour de France. But a truly inhumane third week means the 2016 race is far from over. Dane Cash of of VeloHuman may have other opinions, and—after a thorough listen to our discussion—I’m sure…

How The Week Was Won – 2016 Tour de France, Stages 10-16

Posted on 19 July 20164 July 2021 by cosmo

Never have I felt more like Walter Sobchak. The Tour de France video for Week 3 (also check out the first week, second week and preview) was a lot of work. So much to unpack and re-assemble, especially a shambolic Stage 12 and a teeny-tiny bit of controversy over a sprint or two. As always,…

Posted on 11 July 20164 July 2021 by cosmo

Is it Stages 6 through 9, or 5 through 9, or ♫ workin’ 9-to-5, just tryin’ to make a livin’… ♫ Week 2’s Tour de France video (also check out the first week and preview) covers the fairly traditional ground of the GC even but notes that a lot of work is being done for…
