In 25 years you'll look at criterium videos and the nostalgia of having raced a bicycle will bring a tear to your eyes.
No
Funny i quit racing at 39 and at 59 started training again . Watched a bunch of videos and at 60 started racing again . Now 61 looking forward to another season of racing but this year bought a camera to make my own videos !
another thing about tyler's attack at 10:37 .. the way there's 0 daylight between his pedal and the ground as he comes around the outside is nuts. really pushing it for that win and you have to applaud it
Another great race! Looking forward to 2023 and you guys breaking someone's dreams!
Great breakdown as always Jeff! Hope to see you next summer.
Ryan ALSO won his Oakland field in 2021 in the M123 35+ field on a mid-race solo effort. He came by me like a freight train at the same place as Tyler in this race. Ryan's win was an early indication that he was going to be a boss in the P12s. Ryan's move was obviously the right move, but it was almost impossible to follow. Another great race breakdown and I love your recognition of the teamwork counterattack. There is no better feeling of seeing an immediate counterattack from a teammate.
Really love ur contet before even starting cycling . Now i compete n still watch , learn from u
Good man Ryan - impressive podium and well done for being on it.
Jeff are you going to come to Belgium or the nederlands to race?
course looks like a typical standard amateur criterium like we have lots here in Germany in many towns every week. but these are mostly points-race which makes them even more intense due to early points-laps great footage like always, keep on riding
Great effort 🤯
It is so daunting to see the vast gap between my strength and this.
I always think about how many times I would get lapped racing against people of this calibre 🤔 It wouldn't be good 😆
Disappointed ,that was good riding,well done,I enjoyed this race 👌👏👏👏👏
The dude with 'laurent' on the back is from a high level amature Belgian team
grabbing a gel with w/ only 6k to go, while everyone in the break can see you doing so.... in the words of Michael Scott, "No, no, god no, just nooooo!!!"
Wonderful!!. Also, I was wondering what type of cameras are typically used on bikes? I have tried a few action cameras in the past, but they all seemed to produce a lot of vibration when the bike reached higher speeds. Thank you for your time.
I love the blue mattress pad covering the car parked on the right.
Ha! That's exactly the kind of thing I would see...and then crash into it 😆
@@Tara_Masika I know exactly what you mean.
What a great course 👌
Terrific crowds in Oakland for the race! What a cycling mecca!
Nice commentary. When Ryan passed Quinn on the last lap at 13:30 it looked like Quinn gave an elbow flick to Ryan.... did he not know it was the last lap (I've done that mistake before!) and gave him 3rd place?.. looks like he even gave Ryan a glance to say "I can't do it!"? All good stuff - thanks!
That was purposeful, I knew I didn't have the legs to close Mile's down or hold off Ryan so I didn't want him to be stuck on my wheel thinking I was going to close the gap. The downside of not having teammates is that I had to expend a lot more energy throughout the race to cover moves and I don't have much of a sprint to begin with.
@@quinnfelton2076 Nice effort!
Good racing. What team are you on?
@@Slow.Smooth In this race I was riding for a Belgian team called Urbano-Vulsteke CT. I will be racing for a new team this next year which has not been announced
I really enjoy seeing Winspace bikes in the mix, it's a clear signal to the industry that a shift is happening, better not get caught napping at the wheel, the marketing machine can't save you heading into this recession.
That’s me! I love it, such an unexpectedly good bike
@@RexRoberts Good job!
what program did you use to display the map of the course like that? Great vid
That was some great racin'!
1:33 my 2 seconds of fame being in front of Ryan :-)
What does it take race on a team? Would pay to be the next person for couch to crit
0:57 social security building, that's where the money is at. Been there bunch of times, impossible to find parking
Ughh I was completely cross-eyed and got blownTF up 😫
Hard earned third place for sure!
id say should be guarding that inside line into the corners then so you dont get jumped like that on the inside. atleast cover one line so you only have to worry about guys coming around the outside no? that being said, lot of work done that race plus covid recovery so no surprise hes a lil tired at the end lol
What’s the camera rider weight?
Jeff, why is P1/2 race is so short around 40k, it's less than one hour
Because it’s very intense and it’s a crit race. Road races are longer.
@@MarkBurghouwt I race crits in Netherlands. Beginners race lasts about 35-40min. B group rides about 60min, A group 75 minutes. These races is quite intense too, for example my average power in A group is about 320 watts or around 4w/kg for 70-75min
@@enotracoon9244 That’s some good power. Where in The Netherlands do you ride? I’m a beginner road cyclist with a good fitness background and want to try racing this year!
@@MarkBurghouwt south Netherlands, we have a lot of cycling clubs with private crit courses, you can basically race 4-5 times a week
Hope your COVID recovery is 100%. 2 weeks off the bike and sustained, diminished lung capacity...feels horrible.
I’m exactly the same. It’s brutal. 2weeks off and hop back on and ~3 months of training woosh down the drain
Pads on the trees / light poles out of one of the corners is a MASSIVE RED FLAG
Hey would you consider making a video about how illness impacts cycling performance/ftp and the path to recovery? Of course no size fits all, but I came back from a bad cold with a 20% ftp reduction and can't hang without gassing out way quicker. I'd love to hear your experience (and others) and some sort of strategy to get back.
He has a video like this. 'Get fit in 60 days' when he recovered from his shoulder injury. However illness is of course different. Your immune system has been in overdrive. Just go easy on yourself. build the base again. start with a light load. better to ease-in than over-do. Be consistent & recover well. :)
@Diane I'd love to see power curves for a given segment before and after illness, followed by the trail to normal. Really curious if it's just a slow drag or if folks tend to spring back.
@@Masterrex I think it depends on the illness, I was unwell for about 3 weeks over the Christmas period with cold like symptom, and it's taken me about 6 weeks to get back to the level I was before
Seems like too many power spikes vs chisel away at higher avg watts you can maintain.
Did L3GION not bring a train to the race because they trusted Tyler Williams that much?
if you look the amount of Power tyler is doing in his trainings 400w is crusing to him :D
wow
@𝗛𝗜𝗧 𝗠𝗘 𝗨𝗣 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗘-𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠 @NorCalCycling really?
😬
Legion riders are just built different 0-0
I wonder if they take any super supplements? (Just thought I would rattle that cage for a laugh 😂)
You mean recovering from the flu?
it is so sad the watch cycling videos to me anymore, i dameged my knee joint irreversibly. i wont be able to ride rest of the my life. i missing every part of cycling even all that pain expend for go faster, all that sweat. i am warning you guys take care of your body
When did chubby conti riders become pro?
Felt like I was losing brain cells watching this
Legion is the team that wants to pay winning men in cash and winning women with gift cards. 😮 still shocked by their behavior.
