Great to have you back in UA-cam.

Great stuff , I wish I had known this channel longer ago

I'm going back and watching some of your past videos, and somehow missed this (more recent) one. Your approach makes my sociologist heart proud. And it's fun+good race analysis, too. Thank you.

Cosmo, this is great. As someone else said below, it has aged well.

Great race report!

Hey man, I enjoy your show. When are going to make a video of Biniam Ghirmay with his win at TDF.

Why did u stop youtube and switch to instagram

We are prouf of you bini our hero God bless you

F yeah! I'd love a HTRWW Tshirt or two.

You're still the GOAT for this kind of content. Welcome back and we can't wait for more! Well done sir

pushing limits is great, but the course made poor use of natural features. zero flow. rock wall with pads on top was so odd

The problem is that the other many disciplines need to be their own Olympic events. DH, Enduro; that's where these features belong. Those events are in full face and protection, with one rider at a time, riding the course just one time. But XC is 50+ riders at once, doing some of the same gnar, with no extra protection, lap after lap after lap. It's not a question of if you crash but when. Yes it looks great and it sure makes things interesting, but courses can still be challenging and test technical ability without trips to the hospital . Because there is no Olympic DH or Enduro, they are putting these features in MTB races more and more. When the top riders in the world are crashing multiple times, it's too much. An XC course should be somewhat ride-able by the average competitive rider; not just a select few.. In swimming there is no less than 14 individual Olympic events, and 11 Olympic track cycling events,. So we need more MTB events for these disciplines, and not try to wrap them all into XC.

Cool to see you again Cosmo

Not sure if this was something on your end or mine, but it took me until about 3:14 for the right audio channel to come in fully. Edit: Buuut then it dropped out again a few seconds later 🤷‍♂️ Glad to see you back on YT covering XC!

Let’s gooooooo 🎉🎉🎉

Welcome back

I know I shouldn't get overly excited about a new HTRWW video, but I'm overly excited about a new HTRWW video.

Great video! Keep them coming please!

whoa this guy finally remembered his YT password

I love your coverage of XC racing. Its great!

I wish I watched more xc mtb, thank you cosmo

I don't tend to comment on YT videos, but when I do it's because they are good.

Love the longer form video! As a roadie that’s new to all things MTB, I appreciate getting as much detail and insight as I can!

"making long videos is at least as irritating a I remember." 😆😆😆 Well then , keep it uppppp!

Welcome back!

Yes, in normal conditions its great course. But its not good course if its not working when it rains. In conclusion, its not good course because no one will care what if there was a drought. We saw a wet track that injured a lot of people before the Olympics.

I also think that if the course is burley you can ride a bigger bike, yes you’ll be slower on the climb but its supposed to be a challenge

I have been watching The Week in Bike on repeat for the past decade or so WAIT YOU HAVE A PODCAST NOW?

Great to see you back 🎉

I've missed you on UA-cam for about a decade.

ya know...cross is coming...keep up the great work!

Cosmo is what sports presenting should be.

:)) Cosmo coming back for XCO is definitely something I didn't expect. Welcome back

This is great analysis.

We all know who you are, Cosmo😉 And miss the heck out of ya!!

You should have stayed away. Nobody said it was too hard. People simply said the manmade features were dumb. That was proven accurate by them being close off for the majority of the races, and when they were open, Max Brandl etc smashing the faces on the moronic rocks that had been used to separate the option ‘lines’.

BIKES

Tx. Been lost and no user of other applications. Now I know, away I go, to Insta to watch the past 5 years.

Coffee mug... definitely a coffee mug. Great to see you back!!

life in MONO

The best in the game is back!👏

Dude, you're a legend! Chris Horner and Lanterne Rouge need to acknowledge your race calling vlogger OG status! Are you still in FoCo?

Don't understand the comments about this race: it's a MOUNTAIN BIKE race - if you make that argument, then if it rains for the Namur CX World Cup, they shouldn't run it? Yes, technical, steep, rocky descents are terrifying (check out Puck Pietersie's course recons if you want to scare yourself) but these are very, very good riders; plus, I like seeing 3KPH climbs in mud with multiple foot dabs and dismounts: this what makes it different from road and 'cross. Thanks for this, and more, please...

Cosmo! So glad to have you back 🤘

Welcome back ,,,welcome back,,, welcome back....

Your cam does have a dead pixel 😊

The GOAT is back!

I'm glad to see you're back covering XCO! However, I have to disagree about Crans Montana. Difficulty should not equate to danger. I understand your point, but things have changed recently, especially this year. Firstly, there were protests from the teams on the first day because the course's lines and obstacles were designed in a way that made racing unsafe. This undermines the argument that riders can check and pre-ride the course as designed. In reality, they only knew the final course setup the day before. To emphasize the issue, take a look at the number of riders who crashed with serious consequences that might have prematurely ended their season. We must not forget that we are discussing the world's best athletes here. This situation is reminiscent of Jakobsen's crash at the Tour de Pologne. It seems that until someone is seriously injured, it's considered acceptable, even praised for the attention it generates. However, we must not forget that these athletes are risking their well-being for our entertainment, so neither organizers nor spectators should condone it.

So, I’ve been rewatching 2013 Amstel Gold HTRWW on YT on repeat the past decade not knowing YOU‘RE STILL DOING IT ELSEWHERE?!!!!
