Ah, that music score... and attacking at the bottom of the hill. So clutch.

Still baffles me why nobody ever made Days of Thunder on bikes. Seems #obv

Isn't that basically American Flyers?

What a photo!

Kinda crushin' on this last km of the women's Fleche Wallone finish w/out commentary, from today, that climb is brutal everyone is riding beyond their limit

Disturbed by how different it looks without fans.

Amazed the cameras can pick up their breathing.

The wheezing 2:35 - 2:50 is a sound we never get to hear because of crowds and commentators. Such a great reminder of how hard they are going.

Yes, that moment when the microphone catches, what I think is Demi Vollering's breathing is amazing! She is so clearly going full on all out, she has no more bpms! so much awesome!

went back and watched it again, noticed you can also hear the shifts, and perhaps unsurprising, the top three appear to shift at the same times, and judging by the sounds, those bikes are at their limits too! helps appreciate how much awesome and hard this level of racing really is

and here's the men's last km, no commentators

There's so much awesome road content but the mtb world cups have just started with a buckwild 1 week schedule. I watched so many replays of these races on the turbo this spring and theyre so exciting. Redbull does a great job. Heres the short track from the other day!

watched those things last night! so much speed, and OMG PFP seems fit as ever, Eva Lechner destroyed her bike, and dude, seriously, Evie Richards actually outsprinted PFP. Looking fwd to tomorrow and Saturday. SO MUCH AWESOME BIKE RACING CONTENT!!

This x100^^^ 
The short track races are so intense. With all of the mud, if you squint it looked like a cyclocross race.

Found Vollering ride on Strava, she posts her power numbers, here's the Mur de Huy segment (which she QOM)

Her Pioneer computer records over 30% incline in last few hundred meters.

Watch MVDP , hoping the pavements to get a better line through the corners

Idk the full story behind this, but apparently Sagan had trouble getting to his team after the stage today and skitched a ride with some fans:

That is beyond charming.

Yes , apart from the 4 folks crammed into the car , I hope they are a pod

I'm a fan of GCN, wanted to mention the relatively new "Race TV" on their app, it is seriously awesome.

Been watching the Giro, Brabantse Pijl, Cyclocross, all with no issue, easy to cast to a chromecast, and my favorite feature: different languages, you can watch the Giro in Italian, which is magical, CX with Jeremy Powers, or my preferred language: just the cameras' microphones without commentators. SO MUCH AWESOME.

Seems like they mostly wrapped the Eurosport feed, still great.

Have mentioned this before, in the early 90s as young cyclist in Venezuela, I swallowed any cycling content I could get my hands on: Winning magazine, Velonews, World Cycling VHS tapes, etc... It was all so hard to find and come by. This 2020 world where all of it is live or on demand, at our fingertips, not to mention tips, clinics, tech, it is so stupid awesome.

 Yes! 

i've got a VHS i made of the '89 tour broadcasts somewhere. 

anyone remember Bob Roll's stab at serialized fiction that Velonews published?

Those WCP VHS tapes , with music playing the whole way through

sweet!

even when I moved to the US, I spent a few months without TV, which I eventually bought, along a VHS machine, so I could tape and watch first the Tour du Pont, and later the Tour de France. Coverage which I thought was already kinda amazing even back then. 20 minutes of daily coverage on ESPN2 at 12:30 am.
