How the Race Was Won: 2016 Tour of Flanders

by Cosmo Catalano

April 4, 2016

In this edition of Cyclocosm’s “How the race was won” we take a look at the 2016 Tour of Flanders won by reigning world champion Peter Sagan.

In Cyclocosm’s “How the race was won” series, you’ll see much more than simple race highlights. Cosmo Catalano picks up the details that nobody else sees, analyses the race situation and its progression, and wraps it in his own brand of humour and razor sharp wit. We hope you enjoy it.

Top notch! Brilliantly noticed the moment when Sagan shifted down before his attack!

BRAVO COSMO! But in Cancellara’s final year could you PLEASE ditch the FAY-BEE-IN? He was that teen singing sensation back in the day – this guy is more like FAH-BEE-AHN. Otherwise, you’re the MAN!!!

Well this is a nice development. Great to see you back Cosmo and with what appears to be some support.

Does this mean press credentials and increased visibility are around the corner??

My son is getting his first mountain bike. Scott’s in the running and there’s really no difference between them and the competition when it comes to this bike. Might as well make this the deciding factor. Scott it is. Well done, Cosmo.

COSMO! Great work catching the hand sling offer.

I’ll say it every single time there’s a new HTRWW – Thanks Cosmo and welcome back. In my dream world, all cycling press would be a CT and Cosmo double-whammy.

thank you Cosmo!

Big thanks to Cyclingtips and IAM and Scott for rescuing HTRWW from the realities of economics. So glad Cosmo’s finally getting some support for his awesome work.

Nothing gives the middle finger to those getting previous about copyright more than using some Kanye in the credits, well played again Cosmo.
Cameron Harris

Kudos to Scott for giving Cosmo an outlet. I will now purchase many of their fine bicycles.
Jeffrey Swainhart

Answered my plea. Entertaining and educational. Thanks to Cosmo and the sponsors.

Haven’t watched this yet, but yo CT are you sorting Cosmo out with some coin for doing this? and if you are, is the week in bike coming back? – pretty please!!

Great stuff. I love how you notice so many of the small moments.

Brilliant work as always Cosmo. Great to have you back!
Liam Taylor

Would never have noticed the car hitting the mechanic if it wasn’t for this
Robert Blaudow

I like your work. And in a rare twist, I don’t mind your sponsor fill at the start. Your sponsor introduction reminds me of early television and radio when hosts and series introduced their sponsors like partners. That format softens the blow. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Cosmo!! Great to have you back.
