Sorry, this video cannot be streamed in your country…. despite the fact that its creator is there too. WTF.

  Yes. WTF?

    usual story, used to be able to watch this at Cyclocosm, you guy’s buy it and now it’s geo-restricted, good bye Cyclingtips.

      You automatically blame us? We have nothing to do with it. Eurosport is the one commissioning Cosmo for this and they appear to be geo-blocking it.

      I don’t think that is fair, Cosmo’s stuff was yanked more than once in the old format.
      BRAVO COSMO though I still cringe every time you say GEE-O-vanny. Visconti’s first name is “JOE-vahnee”

Great job, but you should have closed it with “I get by with a little help from my friends”?

I have also got the same error message :( “sorry video can’t be streamed in your country” since when?

This is a bit underwhelming as the report hardly goes into the heads and motivations of the riders.

Thanks Cosmo! (And Wade)

Great Synopsis as usual Cosmo. Got my HTRWW fix and all is right with the world.

Great stuff, as ever. Interesting the that Dumoulin eshews the usual magic spanners and sticky bottles when chasing back, post-poo poo.
It’s a refreshing attitude, but why be the only one doing it?
The UCI continually allows his rules to be broken/bent/ignored – and that very much sets the tone in cycling.

  Along with riding behind the team car for prolonged periods.
- George Darroch
  
  I suspect he might have suffered more from it than others, particularly as GC leader. Some riders and teams can get away with a lot. Others, less so.

Cosmo, fantastic analysis as usual. Finally someone notes the soft pedalling by the GC guys while TD pulled over. I find it amazing how bad reporting becomes truth when reported often enough.
