Posted on 12 July 2015 by cosmo

Episode 18: Tour de France 2015, Part II So nine stages in and we somehow still have a highly-competitive race.

Episode 17: Tour de France 2015, Part I Dane Cash (@velohuman / VeloHuman.com) and I dissect the storylines and first week of the sport’s biggest event.

Dane Cash (@velohuman / VeloHuman.com) has a slightly more positive take, but for me, this year’s Tour de Suisse marks a pretty big missed opportunity…

Posted on 5 June 2015 by cosmo

Episode 15: Criterium du Dauphine 2015 While many consider this the beginning of “TdF Season”, as Dane Cash (@velohuman / VeloHuman.com) and I delve into this week, the Dauphine is more than just a tune-up event, and has historically been kind of a crummy predictor for the Tour. Listen in for the details on why,…

How The Race Was Won – Giro d’Italia – Stage 15

Posted on 1 June 20154 July 2021 by cosmo

It’s one stage, and it’s the whole Giro. There weren’t major GC gaps at the top of the classification, but maybe there could have been. Purely speculative ♫…and to be real, it doesn’t matter anyway… ♫

How The Race Was Won – Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2015

Posted on 28 April 20154 July 2021 by cosmo

An aggressively contested classic, pretty much from the moments the cameras came on (and off). Effective, well-executed team work, some nice individual performances, but also kind of an example of how, sometimes, you just gotta be fast. Those in Germany might need to watch on Vimeo.
