Is this Ultra-Critical Bike Racing Analysis™? No. But is it the sort of weird quirk that creates bike racing fans? Absolutely. (I now promise not to complain about Peacock’s coverage again for at le...

One of the better Tours de France in recent memory, so I have to say *something* about the actual racing, right? Honestly thought this reel would be a lot quicker than it was—covered a lot of ground...

No More Re-PHILs: How Peacock's Cycling Coverage Needs to Get Better

I get the parallels between Pogacar and Armstrong, but as someone who was around and engaged back when, there is *a lot* that couldn’t be more different.

A closer look at how Jasper Philipsen won stage 17 of the Tour de France despite the best efforts of the rider in the green jersey.

Watching @pedersen__mads and @sebpiquet carry on like this in the post-race interviews has been extremely entertaining—#soundon for full effect.

Unpredictability reared its head on TdF Stage 15, shaking up a previously predictable GC race in ways both awful and encouraging. In the latest How The Race Was Won® podcast, @daneacash and talk about both sides of this coin. Link in bio to the full FREE version on YouTube, though @escapecollectiv

No question UAE drew a target on TdF Stage 6 and hit the bullseye. But on the latest How The Race Was Won® podcast, @daneacash and I ponder—with an atypical profile and a TT/group-friendly final climb, could Visma have done better?

Lidl-Trek dominated stage 4 from start to finish. Here's how the key moments unfolded.

In honor of The Fourth of July, here’s the Ken Burns / Tour de France mashup nobody asked for. (video edits are me, script is me, voice is me, but digitally altered to sound like a certain late Pulitzer prize-winning historian) 🎻: “Ashokan Farewell” by Jay Ungar & Molly Mason

“Racecraft” tends to be the preferred term over “tactics” in MTB racing, but @bikerevolutionseries Davos had a lot of what looked like good old-fashioned teamwork.

At Lenzerheide, @boichisadrien and @lucamartin.12 staged a classic battle of watts vs. racecraft If you’re in 🇺🇸, sign up at the link in my bio to re-watch this epic throw-down in full—along with every other race from this year’s MTB World Series (XC and DH) plus extend highlights, special featu

A *fantastic* final day at the @giroditaliawomen—Van der Breggen cleared the final summit in Pink, still holding the virtual lead, but Vollering proved the GC action doesn’t have to stop at the top.

From not quite making it though Sante Marie at Strade to sticking with Pogacar up La Redoute at LBL, the How The Race Was Won® Podcast from @escapecollective is stoked to bring you the latest Paul Seixas hype report.

Because why should Roubaix get all the love? (cf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzLlDfdleyA) As will become rapidly apparent, I have about a half-octave singing voice.

SD Worx took @debrabantsepijl by the horns—then suddenly let it tumble to a chaotic finale. They still had numbers for the sprint, but the S-Bocht presents a great opportunity for riders with calm nerves and a willingness to take chances.

Teamwork was the hidden story behind @tadejpogacar’s dominance at this year’s @rondevanvlaanderen. We break it all down in the latest How The Race Was Won® Podcast from @escapecollective. Link to the free video recording in bio, but Escape members get the full, uncut version, including Q&A, and th
