300m to go and they caught us SLEEPING

[@datadrivendave]

You say it was anti-climactic. But only for you. For them it was pretty fantastic.

[@joshbraegger]

My thoughts exactly. I'm a mediocre cat 4 masters, and this is why I love racing -- it's not the strongest person who wins, sometimes you just get in the perfect place and can blow out these "sprinters" in a sprint.

[@m.ncycles]

I agree! This was one of the best endings to Alviso this season. It's a textbook example of when "too smart" becomes "dumb". It's also a perfect demonstration of why it's important to preserve, even when faced with little to no prospects of success. This sport often takes, but will sometimes really give back!

[@Real28]

​@@m.ncycles eh, this wasn't "too smart" becomes dumb at all. Not having vision =\= dumb. If you're smart, you can hide yourself from certain racers. It doesn't make them dumb. It just means you played it best.

[@jmarredondo]

I miss the rear facing camera, while i agree the views from the insta360 are interesting i feel we lose perspective on what is coming behind you. This race is a perfect example, we could have seen the two riders coming full speed from behind.

[@albertxnyc]

Did you catch Gerome's cheeky smile after he elbow flicks you through?

[@willross5108]

I like the style of glasses that the lens is the frame this way when I’m in the “pro” aero position, there’s not an interruption in my sight.

[@dmitry_7533]

There cannot be enough of Alviso.

[@timwong3532]

Team Fremont! Way to represent, Kyle. Great example of how to capitalize when the breakaway gets caught playing games in the last k.

[@kyleviau923]

Thanks Tim! Fun video for me to watch and relive the moment 🙂

[@christopherw5581]

Thanks for the great content! Video idea … would love to learn more about your chain ring and cassette choices and therefore ideal gear ratios for your races. What are the trade offs, when do you switch it up, etc. Do you run really large chainrings to help you maintain high speed once you get rolling? I can’t find good content on this topic with models group sets and also would love your performance race perspective. Thanks!

[@lolbubs11111]

Casually riding with locked out elbows, not even pedaling, at 4:55

[@kidsafe]

Good job Kyle and Vasyl.

[@_gregvalencia]

Loving the 360 camera. That last 200-300m side view was really interesting to show how they were able to sneak up from behind. How far out front is it on your bike? Or is it in the same spot as the GoPro? Cam from RCA posted on his IG story about not liking it because he has his way far out front. It looked like a 2fi-3ft stick

[@shepshape2585]

Get that money pool going, see how it changes the outcomes of these races. Loving the 360 footage!

[@ArnOllier]

Good pulls for a sprinter 🤩

[@stevenwsong]

sportrx also has a helpful youtube channel. They have good cycling glasses content

[@sportrxeyewear]

Thanks for the shoutout Steven!

[@m.ncycles]

OH MAN I just clicked and I can't wait to watch this one despite KNOWING HOW IT PLAYS OUTS haha

[@OhYeaIRemeber]

Love your vids Max.

[@m.ncycles]

@@OhYeaIRemeber thank you!

[@brizziefritz4794]

Who won? Jeff makes it out to be like you all got surprised by the two riders. However, Zack and two others were on their wheel straight away. It was mainly Jeff who got surprised.

[@m.ncycles]

@@brizziefritz4794 Both guys from the chase who shot thru went 1-3! Kyle and Vasyl.

[@brizziefritz4794]

@@m.ncycles Thanks. Great effort by those two, very well played!

[@Timtimzi]

This one suuuuuucked. Everyone was gassed from the heavy winds and chasing. Nobody expected a chase to catch with everyone's pants down and looking at each other.

[@m.ncycles]

I knew they were right there, which is why I kept flicking you to get out of the way. Also, I wasn't gassed. I just brilliantly boxed myself in and trusted you'd open up. But you're sleepin' with the door locked AND the alarm clock blaring zomg timmy zomg! :P

[@andrewj4752]

Considering the advertisement, you didn't see that coming?

[@Mateo-xn4im]

love the vids

[@EricMichaelManuel]

I don't think I'd call it anti-climactic. More like a Shyamalan twist. :D

[@rizkymarsa4913]

thats cool video!!! , can u tell us where u mounted that X4 ?

[@TimR123]

I've watched some of your other content before but this is the first race recap and congratulations. Interesting and educational for this non-racing rider. BTW, is there any traffic control in place for these races in Alviso or are y'all just counting on the time of day to minimize cars?

[@RobertNixon-l5p]

I’ve asked the same question before about traffic control with no answer.

[@BorisKhvostichenko]

Hey Jeff, have you ever tried installing this 360 camera under left or right drop on your dropbar? Should give much clearer view of what's going on behind.

[@trentwalters7679]

What camera are you using? Any thoughts on GoPro vs. DJI Osmo 4? I’ve read there is an issue getting telemetry with the Osmo. Can one get telemetry from their Garmin head unit? Thanks for the feedback. Love the videos.

[@Pratalax]

Heh, typical geologist. Gets a pair of sunglasses named after a ground/rock pokemon ;P Is it me or is alviso looking more verdant than usual? That finish was a thing of beauty though, grats to those riders!!

[@cosmonott1]

I always enjoy your videos and learn a lot from you. May I ask what is your height, bike size, Front Chainring size and Crank length? Thank you.

[@rsmiii]

Was that a hat tip to Cosmo there at the end?

[@chuckbunting9731]

That's the move everyone wants at some point in racing, punishing sprinters for their sins

[@willross5108]

❤Jerome❤ But yeah sick Go Pro footage!

[@okletsgo9135]

are you releasing any content from Tulsa Tough this year? Did you race or attend?

[@livingvroom8418]

how is the race decided? after x number of laps or a certain time is final lap or?

[@jamilcostley1]

Where’s the Insta360 mounted?

[@MarkMash17]

watched this on an oled - quality was awesome - great race

[@mikekrowka2365]

How do you deal with the traffic lights during these?

[@wertyboy8704]

Because their turning right they pull into the right lane if the left is clear, they have also the green straight light so no cars turning

[@EdwinFGroby]

WOW!

[@musclelessfitness2045]

I'm guessing at the end, you were too tired and too comfortable to worry about unpredictable attacks

[@NorCalCycling]

we were so focused on what we thought was the only competition we got beat by the actual competition

[@TenSapphires]

What happened to Trim bike computer?

[@NorCalCycling]

on my other bike

[@Deltadawg660]

it happens

[@evandarling699]

Lasik surgery! I had it when I was 33 and I'm 56 and still have 20/20 or better. Best choice I ever made.

[@CalliBeste]

the thing im wondering about with these is how are you dealing with traffic? i see youre making right turns only but there could still be cars coming at those intersections. do you just cut out close calls or is it just such a low traffic area?

[@95TegSE]

It's a very low traffic area and in the rare occasion there's an issue with a car, we usually neutralize

[@CalliBeste]

​@@95TegSE ah okay thats cool, thanks for your reply :)

[@nikole921]

😂😂😂😂

[@Astronomater]

it doesn't matter if you win the race dude. look at your thighs and realize you already won. :D

[@djgainsbond]

12:10 min mark or so, looks like cyclist was going the opposite way.
