[iPad/iPhone/m4v if the embed doesn’t work] “The Sprinters’ Classic” is played out. “The Un-Google-able Race” is the new jam. Lots of posturing, a flurry of attacks over some steep-ish climbs, some not-so-polite racing, and a very suspenseful finish. And I think that’s a season. This is the third time I’ve done Paris-Tours, so maybe next…

[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…

[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…

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…

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…

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…

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….

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]

The 2013 Tour de France GC race is in full swing, and the world is full of opinions! Me, I like to make sure we don’t forget to appreciate the flat stages—if, for no other reason than they tend to age better. Also, you should probably catch up on stages 1 through 4—it’ll make this…

I think I’m OK with starting the Tour with sans prologue. Still not changing my mind on bonus seconds. That said, it’s been an exciting enough start to the race—especially for Orica-GreenEdge. Not too bad for RadioShack, kinda meh for Omega-Pharma and terribly unlucky for one Edward King. Oh, hey—and if you just stumbled across…
