Getting Destroyed at Alviso

[@geraldtone5914]

Jeff: My goal is to get Chris to chase. Chris : Reverse Uno Card

[@NorCalCycling]

Too true 😭

[@Timtimzi]

“Teleported across the gap.” As someone who was in that break. ... I felt that.

[@dominicng1437]

I thought your profile pic was a hair on my screen...

[@BigBrownMonke]

@@dominicng1437 ew, you don’t use dark mode? LOL

[@markcavandish1295]

You have to get Chris on to talk about this race. Both you and he together are Podcast Gold.

[@avenc8516]

Never get tired of the chest cam

[@cyclenutter2715]

So immersive init

[@kylehagertybanana]

plus that clean aerofly cockpit mmmmmm

[@audieali9556]

Chris legit just casually rolled up and said what’s up bro

[@PaulRiezebos]

So this was Chris's tutorial 'How to Beat Jeff' 😲. He completely nailed it. 👏

[@chrisgray8064]

Love how fair and honest you are in these. Great vid as always!

[@nicholi1246]

7:10 Chris looking buff as hell

[@cyclenutter2715]

Tried to make my last video in a similar style to yours, every time I watch one of these the quality blows me away Jeff!

[@rodrigovieira3551]

Hey Jeff today i raced at a local crit here in my country Angola it was a really good race and i made a video i will send you

[@entombed_kills]

Please do. It is so refreshing seeing footage from other countries.

[@REMIREZZ]

Obviously I can’t give these videos enough praise- you do such a great job with everything! It would be awesome if you could list weather info at the beginning or something. I think having temp, humidity, and wind would add more interesting context.

[@jonathanwise47]

Exactly... stay teammates 😄. It's good to get another perspective. Great video.

[@johntrussell7228]

Love seeing you and Chris go at eachother. It would be scary to watch you two just team up and destroy the entire field.

[@IamCredit]

Imagine being so confident in your team's ability to win that you f*ck around like this and still win anyway. Such a flex.

[@adamscotera2378]

I doubt I'll ever race a criterium (don't have the endurance or power), but your videos and commentary have got me interested. Nice stuff!

[@smits7142]

Don't chase your teammates...even when they aren't really your teammates.

[@DJBeurdex]

or never chase anyone xD let somebody else chase haha

[@patrickprouty4415]

I can here Chris on your first attempt “y’all better go get him or this race is over”. Then he used same tactics against you and you burned some matches to chase him back. Then Chris used his big FTP perfectly. Another great video. Thanks.

[@Dakota-cz5od]

As someone who is just getting into cycling and doesn't know much about racing, I find these very insightful and entertaining to watch. Definitely motivates me to want to push myself harder on the road and one day maybe even get into racing myself. The commentary is 👌🏻

[@bon9cat]

Back to the time when Jeff was still at Terun and Chris was his enemy

[@Sirkanuts]

exactly haha just like old times

[@davidpeterson3778]

As always great content Jeff, gave the perfect start to my day.

[@theAIex2]

Man the way you explain the tactics makes me feel like going out and do the same!! Then I remember that I actually do not own a nice road bike and then go back to my beer XD

[@rok3895]

Jeff when he’s racing: so I was thinking that I should make him chase and I’ll sit on his wheel Me when racing: GO GO GO, don’t get dropped, don’t get dropped 😂😂

[@Hardcaslte]

380 watts is a comfortable effort is insane.

[@NorCalCycling]

Comfortable may not have been the right word, but sustainable yes

[@chuckbunting9731]

There needs to be a term for when Chris rode through you guys like you were dead, I think he Swayze'd you (Ghost)

[@shaunb93291]

also known as a Linda Rondstadt....blew by you

[@harryluns]

Chris is a beast! 🔥

[@ShorelineSprints]

Your end analysis on what to improve is totally accurate, you should not have taken that pull at threshold HR assuming he'll play nice. Cool ride and analysis as always.

[@jessewilliams1129]

Great race! Love the friend/competitiveness

[@irlrp]

Damn i love this ! I'm only riding a dozen of kilometers a week, but still i'm hooked !

[@yowamushiguy9423]

I really learn a lot from your videos and I thank you for your content.

[@poincareconjecture5651]

Oh my goodness me...mad respect to the big guy in the red and black kit...are you serious man:) so cool

[@OM-sb2bd]

Dude that was awesome - great commentary.

[@mychemicaljojo]

gotta say, I've never ridden in teams like this and it looks very fun! great video!

[@jeromeridge5566]

OMG, did some of these rides a few years ago, coming from NASA Ames. Really brutal effort on my part just to hang on!

[@_kngts2293]

Jheeze just watching this made my legs hurt. Great vid as always!

[@jcw7509]

Great sprint, great video!

[@kennyvdh]

you start to "sprint" on 170 bpm, that's so high. You rode your sprints in your chases, which are very impressive! Anyway nice race, and always interesting to see your vids!

[@irrlicht2280]

I used to run for quite some time at 204 bpm max

[@yesil1026]

For 10 minutes, I did not notice the color of your bike, I like it.

[@johnwecna2386]

Can't believe i haven't subscribed already, i watched all your vids!

[@bgreen88]

The guy in the stars and stripes jersey had a frame pump on his bike? 8:07

[@indusrtial]

Can you ride the "Roasters Ride" that starts from the south east side of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco? I used to ride it years ago and would be rad to see you both rock it.

[@edwin7150]

im a mountain biker but that stem combined with the bars and no cables look so sick

[@adamneilson6734]

Is this the only race they do at Alviso? Or do they have ones for slower/less experienced riders too?

[@monstarwithoutfear]

WoW Chris got you... I'm glad i found your channel, just enjoying your vids lately.. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights! Seems like a lot of fun.. i just (re-)started cycling half a year ago..after i paused for like 7 years. Now im 30... i thought about doing some crit racing. is it too late to join? I'm currently training about 9-12 hours a week (Zwift, Commute, Outdoor). I started at 104kg back in November, now i'm at 80kg. My FTP is around 280/290watts. My Max Power output on Zwift was 1s ~1250w 5s ~1050, 15s ~ 900... havent tried the all out sprint outside yet... Will it be enough to join that late and have some fun in lower cats?

[@bitminerbob6731]

Don't pull turns with Chris on your wheel. Just sit on Chris's wheel and let him take you into the sprint.

[@chriswitek9455]

Chris won't let that happen. You sit hell just keep attacking

[@dingodoggy66]

@@chriswitek9455 yeah well if your a sprinter and you can’t hold his wheel then your not strong enough to win. Simple as that 🤷‍♂️

[@noahhoch9915]

Finally got some great competition there

[@abyn8220]

Thank you for the awesome vids! Yeah, team work, go with that!

[@chinmaykadam7420]

dude your videos make my day

[@jabyers]

Very interesting. thanks! Great to watch. But so many high bursts of watts! So inefficient. Can you compare Chris's Wattage over time chart to Yours? That would tell an accurate story of the race

[@mark-1234]

This was probably the most fun I've had listening to a race narrative. :)

[@fluffy1973]

I had fun watching this. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@williamsamson2177]

Nevermind his 400 W FTP, why we sleeping on Chris's kit? Damn it's nice!

[@zenpsalm1036]

Great content as always! I always preferred chest cams.

[@_cpdchua]

Finally a new upload!!!

[@NorCalCycling]

More are coming thanks for your patience

[@KarlenBell]

Love the chest cam!! Anyways, you were prob nervous racing with Chris that you forgot your own strategy or changing the strategy as you go.

[@SWells679]

Man! The camera quality!

[@prfit]

"Why wouldn't I sit in his draft and force him to do all the work? That's a mistake and we'll find out why in a minute..." *Gets attacked from behind after doing a pull for him* ????

[@dingodoggy66]

Totally. Why wouldn’t you just sit in?

[@GastroCycling]

How do you mount the camera during the race? Are you using a chest mount? Isn't it uncomfortable?

[@jakedharrington]

Entertaining video as always, thanks. You said it was a bad idea to sit back in Chris's draft and make him work, but then showed the race-winning move came after you took a pull. What would be the disadvantage to doing no work at all once it was just you and Chris?

[@NorCalCycling]

I explain this at the end of the video

[@krishvasavada4108]

one of your best videos

[@joblessalex]

How do you guys avoid traffic? Looks like an open road with a ton of ran lights.

[@hebrews11vs5]

380 NP for 20 minutes! Ouch.

[@monkeyx17]

that loop looks like insane fun

[@MyVideoHome2012]

Does "STOP" signs only apply to motor vehicles in Alviso ?

[@JaywayWong]

chris already putting what he learned in the previous video to use

[@Babkyb]

nice race! congrats cris:)

[@Twodaae]

Good job mate! Which gears are u riding in? I wished we had crit races in SG...

[@johnlessar9428]

what streets do you race on in Alivso?

[@kenmei18]

first -> grand -> disk -> nortech, i used to cycle down disk/first on some of my routes when i lived closer

[@johnlessar9428]

@@kenmei18 Thank you.

[@russellvernick2683]

I'm curious about whether it would have been better to let Chris go solo and chase with the break group toward the end? Or is that basically conceding the race earlier?

[@NorCalCycling]

Ya maybe. I thought about that option after. Hindsight is 20 20

[@michaelbarry9954]

What aero cockpit are you using?

[@NorCalCycling]

Sworks aerofly 2

[@raijuventures]

How do you get this view on the GoPro. Care to share good sir?

[@Antonioprophoto]

What do you use to get the wind direction telemetry?

[@stevenchua9668]

Hi, nice video as always! What's Chris average when he is doing solo after he dropped you?

[@firewolfninja694]

Yess!!

[@RobertLinthicum]

When do the climbs begin??

[@yas96225]

Well, nobody expected Chris to chase you down because nobody knew you didn’t race as teammates ;-)

[@Stefan-st]

How hard do you have to train to compete in that race? Is an hour of fast riding a day enough?

[@YuriThorpe]

That dude with the blue gloves, what gloves are those?

[@bobbenson6302]

Chris looks like a BEAST! ;)

[@gregorwachter6804]

dude, how are you so good at cycling and still have big arms? jealous ^^

[@MELLOW1__]

How do you put how many meters left in dashware or what not ?

[@arunask.6541]

Is there similar quality channel crosscountry instead ?

[@ThibaultChe]

Are all crit circuits flat? Or are there some that feature steep climb(s) where lighter guys could stand a chance?

[@NorCalCycling]

Yes we have hilly crits too, I actually prefer them

[@MrBolonio]

Oh thats my friend Super Dave Koesel ..Local Legend of Orange County.

[@BOOFSIDEPINS]

can anyone explain how they driving trough red lights? Is it legal in california or is the road closed off?

[@chineduukaonu1868]

Wow San Jose. I stay in Oakland. I don’t race tho

[@CHRISTALMOUNTAIN]

My hero Ricardo!!!

[@staszekpiernik6815]

I thought it was some kind of game

[@-Xaverius]

what made you go with etap instead of di2?

[@paulmichaelpolsinelli1945]

not sure how riekert avoids adding a camera mount to his wardrobe lol

[@fs.1g]

holy moly. good sprint

[@MrBusunglueck]

7:45 thats still not UCI legal btw.

[@chrsthper]

can we see the strava of the ride?

[@nyf_verg]

I wanna see Chris's footage and commentary for this race. lol

[@TheMazeTheA]

why did you take lead when you caught up to chris?

[@ichmagnichtunboxing1049]

jerome has the same bike as me :D sl7 domane project one same color!

[@BioStuff415]

why so much space behind the wheel?

[@velanrama]

What is your meal / nutrition before races? Any SiS?

[@NorCalCycling]

I made a video specifically about this topic a couple months back. Cheers!

[@johnnytarmac4685]

You riding last year’s SL7?

[@stevedong5117]

Don't chase your teammate, because you'll be dropped.

[@michaelskinny1]

how do you measure the watts and BPM?
