How the Race Was Won: Paris-Roubaix 2016

[@pascal_weber]

Gotta love the Scott commercial about the Solace knowing that Hayman rode the Foil :-D

[@Jamesoloughlinjr]

Thanks Cosmo. I'm going to go get a couple Scott bikes now. Glad you're getting paid something to do the best race commentary!

[@33Nautiboy]

One of the best and succinctly post-race commentary I've seen thus far, with great highlights and video snippets!!

[@SirSamTheThird]

I'll take sponsors if it means we get more of these.

[@CM-bq8cs]

I absolutely concur!!

[@njtvideo]

Glad these are back, great job man.

[@AlexCheng42]

that sponsor segment segway was smooooooth af

[@bradyb2482]

probably the best classic of all time, made sweeter by the fact I was very happy to have a delayed plane to watch on my phone. i remember cheering and tears of the fight in the last 3km.

[@gttim]

If you get a coffee sponsor, we can have that coffee sponsor segment over while the racers are still milling around sipping their coffee before the race start! But, thank you Scott for bringing the greatest race recaps to us!

[@BongConcepcion]

Cosmo is the best!

[@RixterNow]

Cosmo, best race analysis, as always. Love how you manage to spot the things we all miss and highlight them for us to enjoy in slo-mo. Awesome!

[@tasmxiwslwisne]

Very emotional, loved this race and the winner. His post race behaviour was just so humble, such a deserving winner.

[@themrtimmyboy]

Missing these. Bring back Cosmo!

[@Ichheissepetr]

Literally best last 15 kms ive ever seen in any cycling race... omfg, they gave it so much.. Boonen, such a great head, he looked totally cooked, but he managed to chase every attack. Cant even describe how i felt watching this beauty :D

[@joskoevoet9569]

Glad to see you're back Cosmo and kudos to Scott for their support!

[@Turk3YbAstEr]

That shot of the Hayman's bike crossing (with the logo in plain view) was smooth sponsor exposure.

[@Ben_Mdws]

Awesome to have these back Cosmo.

[@matdaka]

Good work Cosmo, love the analysis

[@SWells679]

Chapeau, Cosmo! Fantastic eye for details. And I appreciate your stop screen for a couple seconds to catch up to the commentary. Nobody does it better!

[@webmanic]

You do insightful yet entertaining summaries and the Ad was cleverly done.

[@edwarnett28]

Love that these are back and don't for a moment mind the little sponsor interlude to allow it to happen!

[@jtk1ify]

really enjoyed your summary, you have a talent in compressing a lot into a focused, knowledgeable, accurate and at times humourous commentary

[@rutgertollenaar6218]

I'm so glad Cosmo found a sponsor to make these quality video's again! The only ones I know which really do the races justice and analyse all the aspects I care about. And with enough info to have to rewatch them at least thrice to fully understand everything (as a non-native :P). To be honest though, I do miss some pre-sponsor enthusiasm and fire.. I really hope you (Cosmo) still love cycling as much!

[@richlavigne1505]

Great job Cosmo! love your race reviews.

[@dansmith4058]

Super psyched these are back. missed HTRWW

[@asoakley]

Cosmo - great work, as always. CyclingTips - thanks for getting this guy back on the inter-webs. His content is gold.

[@MichaelMachado2]

I think I've watched this 8 times now.

[@scarecrow4242]

Awesome turnaround. Great race to watch, and great summary.

[@mnugent1974]

so glad you bridged it back

[@mikechao7649]

well done cosmo, and quick turnaround!

[@marknixon2761]

Thanks Cosmo. welcome back!

[@MichaelMachado2]

This is the greatest video ever made

[@hawkeye5035]

I love these Cosmo!!!

[@williamkay1127]

Man i've missed htrww. Great work as always cosmo

[@frozenwastz111]

Brilliant Cosmo!

[@EricHumes]

Gah!! Cosmo's back!! Thank God! ...and Thank Scott!!

[@c11z]

I love these so much, will go now and purchase a scott bike.

[@RobBastien]

Very good comments, love your stuff, thanks for posting.

[@mnugent1974]

awesome as always

[@ygchan89]

Great video! Thanks!

[@gunkshunter2519]

Excellent as usual thx!

[@knightwhite99]

This was the best, most exciting one-day bike race that I have ever seen. Congrats to Hayman, a win that is likely the best of his career. Sagan has MAD bike skills!!! A rear wheelie then a nose wheelie? How did he not fall down??? It wasn't Spartacus' day, he looked even less graceful falling again after the end of the race while trying to show off the Swiss flag!

[@Casquette]

Hooray! Welcome back

[@perwiratempur]

omg sagan's skillz level is god like

[@zoso73]

+Brian Fastabend That he instinctively unclipped to leverage more weight away from the handlebars ... incredible.

[@mikeisbill2167]

Thanks to Cyclingtips for getting Cosmo back to it. I'll bet they earned a few thousand new subscribers. Hope it's a regular segment now.

[@MagnanimousWaffle]

fantastic race, great coverage! Thanks Cosmo +1 @CyclingTips

[@footiecyclo]

YES FINALLY YOURE BACK

[@petervollers]

Dude, are you back?!!!! Btw, if the commercials are part of the reason why, then, by all means, add them in, especially cool Scott ones like the one in this vid!

[@chrisvanvoorst2125]

Nice job - thanks!

[@hcob76]

great to see you have sponsors!!

[@Bcookies55]

If the price for these videos is a sponsor segment that smooth, Im happy to pay it. Though jokes on them Hayman was on a foil instead of a soalce.

[@MAELOB]

great video thanks

[@rajjames4572]

excellent simply excellent

[@raymomdriley1866]

Quality stuff!

[@mattsnow81]

Awesome vidéo thank you :)

[@Balu5081]

Good video as usual, But Scott advertising in between video is really crap.

[@stuarthickson6103]

not enough plaudits for the winner. Hayman rode a very smart race and was out there all day. Chapeau.

[@ripwig6682]

you are awesome. My next bike will be a scott

[@tekesbur]

Great!

[@TheSatmos]

Loved the ad especially despite all the love being given to one Scott frame on the cobbles it was a completely different Scott frame that took the room, awkward!!!

[@tk38]

On a foil. Aero advantage

[@zoso73]

Episode 99 of HTRWW brought to you by Scott.

[@AustinIsTheGreatests]

why does it end on a track

[@ComeWhatThey]

I did not see the same as you at 4:17, definitely looked like Stannard divebombing the corner and pushing Hayman out.

[@euanmortimer5931]

+Ewan Jobe I read it as Stannard taking the gap that Hayman had left

[@merckx56]

+Ewan Jobe Yeah...he dove inside, couldn't hold his line, and pushed Hayman out.

[@SuperOCHomes]

great moment in the race....same corner Sep jumped a hole on the inside, then Ian changed his line, and Hayman was 'big timed' and squeezed out. Then, too make it back on and win after race radio said he was 'struggling' after that corner and on the pave.

[@simonbarnes6587]

Advert for the Scott whatever. The race was won on the Scott Foil!!!!

[@germcevoy]

Ads done right.

[@mirekmontepuro5330]

(Except Haussler's team mate Hayman won the the race on an aerobike.)

[@diogogarrido2089]

Why does he always say ''wait for it Sylvain Chavanel''?

[@TheTurdFerguson]

+Diogo Garrido Because it seems like he is always in the break or attacking in some sort of way

[@diogogarrido2089]

TheTurdFerguson1 thanks

[@aglees2b]

Watch the HTRWW back catalogue

[@Conza]

Yewww

[@aglees2b]

That Scott Foil is so hot right now.

[@plain-bagel]

haha jesus. I hope Scott at least gave you a bike for all this...

[@jmb1805]

Cosmo's HTRWWs are great. But his podcast predictions are uninspired, boring and usually wrong - no offense, Cosmo! Instead, check out CyclingHub's David Hunter for someone with their finger on the pulse. His predictions are incredibly accurate.

[@chris_noswe]

That Scott add was not appreciated.

[@juanerasmog]

+CW SK Its better than paid subscriptions...

[@_powerrranger]

+CW SK get used to it bro- adblock is killing ads and content, this is probably the only way

[@Jamesoloughlinjr]

+CW SK can you do better? I'll take them to have #htrww back!!!

[@AshleyMasen]

+CW SK What would you prefer. No more How the Race was won, or a inline ~15s ad interstitial that's relevant to the audience as a whole?
