I was out of town, so we managed to secure a guest narrator. Took a while to get the finished product out as he insisted on final cut. [iPad/iPhone/m4v]

How The Race Was Won – Tour de France 2014 – Stages 11-15
Sure, Nibali has a more than comfortable lead, but two uphill finishes last week didn’t do much to sort out the rest of the standings. All that and some fantastically aggressive racing and a couple sprints. Also, I’m seriously not going to be around next weekend, so you’ll have to wait for the final installment….

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

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.
