How he could've beat me

[@bryanlrsn7]

Attack or be attacked. Great racing out there Jeff! To our viewers, what do you want more guidance or videos on? Want more sprint finishes? Maybe help on how to get into a breakaway? Or what to do or not do once you're in the breakaway? Or simply, how to conserve in a group of racers and make it to the finish line?

[@Jalaljr-cs3jq]

Maybe all of them, especially the last one.

[@DZMegamind]

YES!

[@mustridefaster]

I'd love to see more breakdowns of other riders footage that is submitted; critiques of lower category races that can demonstrate common mistakes newer racers make. I'd also love to see some breakdown of some women's races. I find that women's crit racing, especially at more local and regional races, the racing is very different from the men's fields in general and the strategies are somewhat different in smaller fields.

[@DummyUrD]

I am not a racer myself but I am surprised on the importance you put on the break-aways. You do "le slingshot" (catapulte) quite often aswell as deciding to bringing back the take aways yourself even if you have still 20+k to go.

[@jamieb2865]

Tried the Manscaped. Got me a lot more action off the front, but still not any faster. Great race!

[@glacifi7484]

I don’t even race but these videos are so interesting. Great stuff!

[@VaraNiN]

Same. Haven't sat on a bike in like a decade but always looking forward to these

[@JoshH44]

Hope you recover quick Jeff! If you could do a video on how you recover from covid and how your fitness is affected, what training you do during /after, that would be amazing. Love the vids, even though I race mountain bikes - but so many aspects carry over!

[@Sionnach1601]

Oh grow a brain. He didn't "come down with covid". When was the last time you had a cold or flu? You don't think it's not highly suspicious that every sniffle now has to be 'covid'?? Greatest scam ever perpetrated on the earth and good people are still falling for it 🙄

[@g-hutch7407]

I miss the old Green Machine S-Works, what a beast! Looking forward to the inteligentsia footage, good work Jeff and get well soon.

[@MrAlexLandry]

As a French Canadian, I love all your videos Jeff. I don’t even race crits and I still love your videos!

[@Joshua-dx7zn]

I always love when you talk about how cold it is in California in the winter. Here on the East Coast it isn't cold until it drops down into the 40s. 63 degrees and I'm still wearing short sleeves.

[@davidwebster2616]

63 degrees? yep, freezing cold! ha

[@GunganWorks]

My brother got his first Cat 5 win at Intelligentsia this year. He cites your videos as where he learned race tactics.

[@vedamurthykm6407]

God! The sl7. 😥😢 Missing the feel of that bike on Jeff. Toooo many memories to be broken by a single crash

[@joshuacaballero3567]

HI Jeff, how do you normally do your strength training? Do you do training on the bike or all of your strength condition is done on the gym? Hoping for your recommendation regarding this...

[@flyingbadger1759]

I'm here thinking 63⁰ sounds like a wonderful summer day. August and looking at a week straight of 50s at night in southern WI.

[@nigelmcclean4166]

Its nice to feel like I'm starting to understanding this thing better, coz I was asking the same question of Cam before you went over it

[@cameronadams7055]

As soon as the race finished I was beating myself up over it 🤣. I just remember being so gassed, so I was scared to sprint early- I had been recovering from an injury but it was definitely what I should’ve done

[@Sionnach1601]

Very good tactical racing. A very clever rider is a sprinter who gets himself in a break. Sean Kelly used to thrive on this. You remind of him in this.

[@facediaper09]

Respect to Super Dave at the end.

[@ericbarfell]

Awesome job on the quality of your videos! They continue to improve! Great improvement! Those are some big watts!!! It’s interesting to hear your thoughts on the workout plan, can’t say I’ve ever done one before…

[@jacgn_cycling]

While I´m down with covid I watched some videos from your channel. Thanks for the content. Is this race on open roads?

[@funkydisciple]

I love all your videos. I wish the roads were as smooth where I lived 😩

[@ezeekwheel]

63 degrees thats summer in the uk. well into summer kit

[@stoledrew]

Love the longer videos with the breakdowns!

[@tulga3293]

Always like to watch your videos Jeff. Thanks

[@NorCalCycling]

Glad you like them!

[@billkallas1762]

63 degrees? I remember when the first race of the season was between 25 and 35 degrees, and possible cancellation because of snow.

[@billkallas1762]

@Paul Southworth True, but what's even worse is racing in it, and then having to work as a course marshal in it.

[@arch417powersports]

Finally a longer video!

[@frozenbean]

Fun factoid: Slingshot in French is "Lance-pierres" (stone launcher/thrower).

[@overlandingfamily]

Hi there. Awesome videos! I really enjoy watching these. What chest strap are you guys using?

[@tascoVal]

Casual 2x 1200W+ effort within 20s..

Does anyone else ever go on Google Maps and dream up Crit Race Maps in your local town?

[@Ejstrainingcamp]

YES! lol all the time

Shoutout from Montreal! Love your videos!

[@commander993]

LOVE to see that notification of a new NorCal video! 👍

[@mwilko79]

Great video and analysis as always Jeff. Keep up the good work 👍 Makes me want to try racing 😊

[@cameronadams7055]

I’ll out sprint you one day… but for now I’ll just give you lots of video content 🤣.

[@wruf7213]

I could watch this all day.

[@billkallas1762]

You are lucky that you didn't get to intelligentsia until after Winfield. There was a massive pile up in the 1-2 race where bodies were piled up on top of bodies.

[@NorCalCycling]

I was in that pileup at winfield 🤣

[@billkallas1762]

@@NorCalCycling I didn't think that you were going to be there until the 25th or 26th.

Super dave, saves the day

[@fogelmclovin2694]

Is there a reason why Jeff doesn’t wear his Mike’s Bikes jersey at Alviso?

[@MannequinSmiles]

your avg W has to be higher than anyone else in this race. you're always the one stitching the race back together.

[@nathansdad04]

Are the roads closed off? If not...how is car traffic managed?

[@lauig]

Wait a minute, that integrated cockpit, that's not the TCR, right ? Is that a Propel ?

[@henryhunter194]

Why is he riding the Tamarac 7, I though he was riding the giant tcr?

[@M.E.Cyclist]

0:11, I'm not sure I'd park my McLaren there, unless that was just my commuter car and I drove out there just to beat Jeff...

[@eliplaysbikes985]

I was thinking the same exact thing! Beautiful car though

[@Nik0Xe]

Thanks for the video. Interesting stuff. Sorry for my ignorance, but are these official crit races, or just casual races among friends/riders who get together for fun only? There is no 🏁 line, judge or even people watching? Thanks from France and keep going. 👍

[@kidsafe]

Alviso is an informal race…aka a group ride.

[@Mgrant8163]

I told my Aunt once that we were on a ride and I was freezing because it was 58. She's in Minnesota and her comment was "above?" Way different perspective on weather.

[@Sionnach1601]

What are you trying to say?

[@Mgrant8163]

@@Sionnach1601 She was asking why I was cold when it was 58 degrees above zero and not 58 degrees below zero. My Minnesota relatives wear shorts wheneve it's above freezing.

Whenever I see someone wearing a camera on their chest in a race, especially Cat 4, I just think broken sternum.

[@Sionnach1601]

Really? Does that happen often? Surely the camera would just crumple to pieces and not cause a broken bone??

[@TristanTaillon]

Soooo with which French Canadian Team did you hang with in Chicago? Hahahah

[@desmondyap5391]

R.I.P. Tarmac SL7

[@charlespackwood9219]

Looks like these guys in the break have no brains at all. If I’m in the break and I see the field is within striking distance of catching up. I’m going to go as hard as I possibly can so they don’t catch up before the line. At 500meters to go and I see field coming boom 600 to 700watts. That’s how to beat that situation

[@Sionnach1601]

They were probably on empty I'd say, but I admire your gutsy attitude. That's a winner's attitude.

Time to stop watching this channel now that there are political ads. Manscape is bad enough.

[@Sionnach1601]

You wouldn't begrudge him making a few pounds for himself with the manscaped, but political ads?? Unless the politics are just plain Truth I'd definitely be saying "No thank you." Considering that he still believes in convid and hasn't thought that colds and flus have just mysteriously vanished, it doesn't bode well.

[@thebaddad1921]

Thanks for the Manscaped code @norcalcycling! What happened to Season 2 of Couch to Crit?
