Wow, Deven's less than 24-hour turnaround, including the hunt for a derailleur hanger, shoes, and wheels - plus setup in time for the next day's Arts District _and_ full blown redemption to the podium is an awesome story in itself. That was, indeed, fire in the heart.

Sorry for your crash Devin and congrats on the result. Watching, I'm struck by how cool it is to have the cameras, and that you and Jeff take the time to break down the anatomy of a crash. At the end of the day, this one looked like an instance of "crit things happen in big crits," but seeing it broken down from multiple angles might provide some learning, and it's fascinating in and of itself. When I was racing crits cameras were just starting to become ubiquitous. Usually when I crashed I never really had much idea what the heck had happened!

[@willross5108]

Elbows out man and you may get yelled at if you do it too much or too far out. But that rider/move coming on your left gets pushed out if your elbows are flared, look at 11 minutes where you have freeze frame with highlighted bubble. Also, you are the only rider that so can see on the tops, less stable/iffy grip than drops and with two laps to go in my drops, elbows ready as precaution. Awesome recovery next day so bravo indeed.

[@FreeMTrider]

Glad you were able to come out of that crash to get a great result at the next one! Sometimes it's just a millisecond away from disaster and there's nothing you can do. From what I see in the cam view, you were just about to filter behind the guy to your right to take that turn perfectly, but the guy to your left wasn't backing down when he should have done the same and prepared for the turn. It wasn't an aggressive bump, but he crowded the space unnecessarily and most likely would have been shut down in that turn anyway.

[@beefeekeefee]

Second best thing about this video (after Deven being on the box in race 2) is that the dude who swoops across the front of that race and throws a shoulder into into the eventual winner ends up going down in the melee that he helped to create. Karma exists...

[@ashurany]

Podium-ing (is that a word?) is a hellla way to bounce back. Good for Devin.

[@Ad-my9kg]

The rider on the left (to the right as we look from the front) is, I think, caught out by the riders in front moving from their right to left. You can see from Devin's footage that Devin moves from being on the right side of the white line, to the left side of the line, just before the crash. At 10:58 you can see that the angle of Devin's bike and that of the guy that bumps shoulders with him are converging and that the guy is trying to swerve away. From this I don't think the shoulder bump was intentional. He may have been guilty of loosing concentration for a second only to find those in from of him moving over to the left while he was still travelling a straight line. Thoughts? Well done, Devin, for coming back the next day and taking 3rd.

[@DennisGonzalez101]

Same exact thoughts here I don’t think it was the guy on the left fault he was going on a straight line while he crossed the white lines.

[@devenvangreuningen3275]

It’s wasn’t his fault to say. But had he been expecting the group to move left. Like we had been the entire race, the crash probably would not have happened.

[@marcfarrelly5944]

@@DennisGonzalez101 I would disagree, the pack is drifting left, the guy on the left should have seen it as the racing line is what people follow. He should have just drifted left rather than leaning in but I don't think it was intentional, it is a second to make that call.

[@Ad-my9kg]

@@devenvangreuningen3275 I don't think you actually read what I wrote, and your typo suggests a hasty response. I did not say that it was not his fault.

Tough crash! it seems Devon moved left over the centerline way before the riders in front, putting down power to go on the inside of the rider in front. maybe he should have stuck on the wheel in front instead of trying to make a move into the corner, which looks to be more unpredictable than the other guy moving up on the left into open space.

Was the guy behind you ok? He locked out fast but his leg looks badly bent, also blood caught on camera.

[@rafaeldegiacomoaraujo8778]

He should have pushed back the rider on the left. Being on the drops would have helped that. This allows your elbows to move out and protect your drops from being hooked from behind.

[@devenvangreuningen3275]

I mean maybe. I race all my crits in the hoods until we’re coming to the finish. My bars are low enough that I’m not too upright and it gives me better access to the brakes. We always say to not use your brakes in a crit, but there’s a difference between braking and modulating. I try not to brake as much as possible but your almost always modulating your speed when you in the bunch.

[@elmar7190]

@@devenvangreuningen3275 You should put your brake levers closer or get a narrower bar. It is so much saver to be able to corner and brake comfortably in the drops.

[@rafaeldegiacomoaraujo8778]

@devenvangreuningen3275 I agree with the other person commenting. You need to configure your controls to be on the drops. The hoods are not a safe place to be on the race. It's safe for when you crash as well. If you hold on to your bars, you will protect your arms and collar bone. Have a look at Peter Sagan crashing. He does that. Very interesting.

That guy on the left is a poor bike handler - a twitcher in the parlance of pro riding - and either lacks situational awareness or intentionally crashes people. He had full view of what was coming and still bumped someone right into a line of riders moving left. I'm just gonna say it because the channel is too polite here: a JERK move. I know crit stuff happens but this is inexcusable in any race. I know it's not sanctionable but I hope he's at least marked for future races as the unsafe rider he is and people learn to avoid him.

I've had orange, raspberry, citrus, watermelon, mango chili, and chocolate. I'd say raspberry is probably the least salty of them, but I really like most of them. Per my cardiologist my body needs a relatively high level of hydration in general, and sodium in particular, so I drink a lot of LMNT. Avoid the mango chili and chocolate, there's nothing good to be found there. Orange and watermelon are my favorites.

@devenvangreuningen3275 That's not what happens in Europe. The variations in speed are so much that there is more differentiation, and the elastic band goes earlier.
