I think some more about tactics, especially surrounding breakaways would round this up nicely. To explain how a breakaway works, who will work and who will sit and why would be important for a noob to understand. Tied into this: Why will one team work on the front of the peloton (whether it is to catch a break or whether it is for other reasons) and why another team may not be interested to waste any cornels. And lastly the differences between teams, with some having contenders for the GC, KOM or point/sprint jersey while others may "only" be after a stage win. Last thing that comes to mind but perhaps most important: the many differences between one day races, especially the spring classics and the grand tours.
@jawjuh10054 жыл бұрын

The thing I wish someone had explained to me when I was younger is that, for races like the Tour de France, every day is its own little stage, and you can have a new winner every day BUT you can win the *overall* race and never win a stage. Although commonly an overall winner will stamp their authority and claim at least one stage, it's not necessary to do so, and you can still win the whole race. And conversely, the sprinters you see claiming stage glory will finish hours behind the overall winner. It's cumulative time.

Hey GCN, you would make videos like this a whole lot more inclusive if you also included footage of women. It isn't a men's specific video! An image of the women's rainbow jersey is the exact same as the men's jersey. Women draft in races too, show a clip of them once in a while. Its a little thing. But it is so glaringly obvious when it is missing. You can do better.
