How the Race was Won

Escape Collective

How the Race was Won is back for 2025. This year, we have evolved from being solely a podcast to being a post-race video show that you can watch live over on YouTube, although of course you can still just listen to the show in podcast form if you'd prefer. In any case, we will once again be bringing you the same analysis you love, taking a closer look into the key moments of key races and the how and the why behind tactics and results.

Escape Collective is member-funded. If you like this podcast please consider supporting us by becoming a member: https://escapecollective.com/member/
