23% Climb in a Criterium

[@DavidEhrhartKing]

The most impressive thing to me is taking that last turn at 40 mph. I take turns at 20 mph and feel like the back wheel is going to jump out lol. And that pass on the outside going up the hill? Balls of steel. Great stuff.

[@nsant]

I road raced motorcycles. I can drag my knee on asphalt going 80+ mph, but am scared sh!tless taking turns fast on my road bike.

Slam ya stem and get your head low. You’d be surprised how much grip you can get

@@nsant I think Ryan mentioned in a previous video that he also has a motorcycle background.

[@_Suzuka_Joe]

@@nsant me too, I've done decently well club racing my R6 and anything over about 20mph in a turn im scared to death lol. I've also crashed my bicycle and broke my collarbone a few years ago

[@jonathanwise47]

Looks like a fun course. Watching these races is like watching an MMA fight. It's a rush!

[@SlynxPH]

He has been an absolute monster since his first win was uploaded into your KZbin. Best of luck on your following races!

[@joaotrigueiros5511]

Don’t spoil us with this amazing content. We won’t be happy with just a GoPro from now on. Amazing video, incredible analysis!

[@mstrasser]

Great video. and your quality is just getting better and better. the drone shots. love it. hope the collarbone's healing up well. Also, what a beautiful course through that neighbourhood

[@gringoflaquito]

I always hated crits and circuit races because of the high risk and crazy crashes. Thank you for posting this insanity. It's really fun to watch, and gets my blood pressure up with that conditioned race anxiety.

[@vladimirromanovschii4639]

Man that drone footage is amazing.

[@sakomeow]

Love watching Miles' front wheel hop in slow-mo as he chugs up that hill. 5:10

that pass on the hill🙌🏻🔥 crazy tight

[@shakinwakin35]

Loves these race videos. consistently valuable and high quality

[@jameskim3]

It's fun to see this from different perspectives. Ryan is a beast! 👍

[@jgrefrath]

Another awesome win for Ryan and TMB! This time it was determined by skill.. and yes.. power. That inside pass on Chris and the set-up going into the hill might as well have been done on a dirty singletrack. Very impressive throughout!

[@richjones2263]

Been waiting for this one. Was there and saw that downhill jump on last lap. This was exciting with all the team attacks, counters,...

[@cyclingboss469]

The added drone and footage from the stands sets this off Jeff. Well done as always.

[@paulvanderheyden7373]

Excellent commentary and exciting racing. Appreciated the drone footage.

[@djconnel]

Cat's Hill is 16% (I made an RGT route of this course). It's so great seeing this race back!

[@LF-hj8kk]

Seems more like it, percentages are so often overestimated. Looks nasty though

[@katomiler843]

Great course. Every year, everybody’s there. Great drivetrain choice, race decisions, earned win. Thanks for the production work, Jeff, and for posting. Consistently great content, lessons, and production quality 👍

[@pld468]

Just a small suggestion (it might be a bad idea) but could you mirror the rear view camera. That way, it would be like in a car rear view mirror. When you see a rider coming up on the left side of the rear view, it will then come on the left side of the main (front view). Anyway, just an Idea like that only me and maybe 3 other people might notice haha. Good videos, I love seeing them as I still have snow outside.

[@sam4512]

I like the drone footage!

[@schoondikah]

perfect video very nice done with all those shots and angles, and stunning but really stunning surrounding, you live just perfect there, looks like the weather was just as perfect to, all in all perfect day perfect video really enjoyd this one, cheers up from the netherlands

Jeez bro that last lap was Smokin. Hell of a win!

[@bribri5458]

Awesome vid!

[@robandsammyfamily8737]

Last turn at 43 mph is a nope from me. Well done.

[@viscera912]

absolutely loved the multiple cameras and drone. congrats on a super race!!

[@theaveragejoegarage]

This is some cool video editing!! Love the different camera angles! Nice works guys👍🏻👍🏻

[@ohnezuckerohnefett]

4:55 I only paid attention to the guy in the Borat costume on the left...

[@BenjamenGAO]

sheeesh the editing on this vid is amazing! 📈📈 is there any chance you could make a vid on fast cornering?? great analysis as always!

[@aaron-dm2bw]

Great race and love that last corner awwww the good ole days

[@redtestarossa]

Not really a big (National) race but one of my favorite wins! What a course! Not for the meek. There was a lot of hay on the last turn when I raced it and I felt both tires slide into the gutter. Some guys would shift to the little ring for it…big mistake!

[@adambeck369]

Now THIS is pod racing!

[@andrew7taylor]

@@chrisko6439 Why must be a "proper sprint" for the finish? Why can't it be a finish which rewards technique, smarts and power instead of just power alone?

[@chrisko6439]

@@andrew7taylor No problem with that if it was the case every now and then. But it seems to me, these crits all have a corner 150m to the finish line. Kind of boring. It like to see a few guys really fight it out for once. They have a long straight at Alviso, but there, Jeff is usually beating the other guys by a roadtrain's length.

Rode this in the 80's. 7-11 team was regular. Eric Heiden dropped his chain in middle of the hill. He turned around, rolled to bottom, set the chain, and rode back up the hill in the saddle. Two laps later he was in the pack.
