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
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,…

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…
The Recon Ride: Tour de France 2016, Part 2
Episode 48: Tour de France, Part 2 The Tour’s first week provided…actually, not all that much.

How The Week Was Won – 2016 Tour de France, Stages 1-5
The first of our our new “How The Week Was Won” videos shows that despite some opportunity for mass disruption, the 2016 Tour has gotten off to a slow start—at least from the prospective of the overall classification.

How The Race Was Won – Tour de France 2015
So, given that I wasn’t going to be able to get this done anywhere near the actual end of the Tour de France, I took a shot a mostly comprehensive take on the GC race into a single episode. Lots of links to other videos (things are interrelated—who knew?) so hopefully YouTube won’t take it…
The Recon Ride Podcast: Tour de France 2015, Part III
Episode 19: Tour de France 2015, Part III With five stages remaining, the 2015 Tour GC race seems depressingly settled, but lesser placements, the KOM competition, and several glorious mountain-top finishes remain. Dane Cash (@velohuman / VeloHuman.com) and I bug CyclingTips’ Shane Stokes from his French accommodations to tell us more about the situation on…
The Recon Ride Podcast: Tour de France 2015, Part II
