That last 500m going 30 plus was intense. I'd be the guy to cross wheels and kill everybody.

[@gyvas]

I'd be the guy trying to get out to the edge of the field WAY earlier, fearing I'll get boxed in, and then shooting all my matches too early in the wind. Seriously, all I could look at was not even Sean, it's "it's 500m to go and you two are still in the MIDDLE of the pack, how do you even get to daylight in this little time much less make a sprint from way back there?" guess it comes with experience

[@didierlegall2184]

[@SnappyWasHere]

You could ride in the Giro then! Stage 5 finish was like that. 😂😂

Jeff moves through a field so smoothly.

[@bernardo9202]

Almost cavendishy

[@stangy007]

@@bernardo9202 naw Cav always had a leadout train, I'd say more like Sagan surfing through wheels

[@bernardo9202]

@@stangy007 you need to see more of cav, cause that man, raced a tone without any leadout, and won a lot alone

[@jpjipperwong]

This was awesome to watch without rear cam and then with rear

[@Abastida]

The fact that you guys had only 2 riders on your team for that race and you got the 1-2 is amazing. You truly are a master tactician

[@PatrickLino]

Those final 700m had me HYPED! Felt like I was right there with you. Quality content!

[@laithalnimer1]

"LETS GO JEFF" is probably the Best thing jeff has heard this year 😂

[@ebsalonga]

Dude that is pure trust right there. Helluva sprint.

[@Timtimzi]

That was a crazy "leadout" and early jump to the line from a boxed in position. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time it happened. LETSGOOOOOO Jeff and Sean.

[@drewon2s]

That was a great last lap… In my head if I was riding next to you guys and I hear Jeff ask can you win and he just says yes.. I would be like wtf 😅

[@kidsafe]

Voler deserves a shout for doing most of the work to bring back the late break with half a lap to go.

[@mrwezbo]

Dude, this is peak norcal content. Exhilirating stuff, love it!

[@GarinHatch]

That was a MONSTER send at the end on you both. GEEZ

[@Zen.416]

Great job Jeff and Sean! Going early was the key way to execute on the plan even if it didn’t go 100% as planned!!

[@Omnis2]

That kid Sean is a straight beast. I was convinced he was boxed in and wasn't gonna be able to stay on your wheel. I dunno how you fit your nuts through those gaps, Jeff. Well done

[@daningram7804]

Shout out Sean! Seems like a great guy. That was super fun to watch. Well done guys

[@ntd.1760]

commentary world class jeff

[@NorCalCycling]

Thank you !!

[@cblanks10]

Dude that was some awesome handling skills. Pushing through that narrow opening like it was nothing. 🤌🏽 grade A content on this one. Cool to see EJ in the same race.

[@chupa_mi_dongle]

Cool being able to watch the front and rear footage, nice win for Mike’s Bikes

[@MijoMontego]

Love how you ran the finish twice, as the gap was a surprise. Hell of a finish guys!

[@roebbiej]

Can you win? "Yes". Awesome guy

[@Lastchance2030]

that was an absolute gorgeous early Launch! nice work! very nice work man! Remember "you can be my wingman anytime"!

[@aarondcmedia9585]

One of your if not your best finish to date. Well done.

[@billstrachan476]

Thanks EJ and Jeff! Super fun watch. Lesson: if someone asks you if you can win....say yes.

[@NorCalCycling]

Sean puts his money where his mouth is 💪

[@TheVeloVibe_]

Imma start calling you and Sean Batman and Robin 🔥

[@viscera912]

just have to say every time a new video is uploaded I can't wait to watch it. congrats on yet another victory and watching your content and commentary is just so fun!!! thank you so much!!

[@CaedmonCycling]

Might be the best one yet! Awesome finish guys! Really enjoyed the breakdown at the end with and without the rear cam

[@flipboifine]

i forgot to breath for a few seconds there. Wheeeew, what an exciting sprint finish. Congrats Shaun and Jeff!

[@PeterPutz82]

hahaha epic, great job Jeff and Sean!! What a brilliant race, great video, thanks very much.

[@turtlehater2]

Loved that editing at the end with no rear cam! Was a cool reveal when you brought it back.

[@671james]

Wow!!! That was a great finish! So unselfish of you to be leading out but glad you were rewarded with a podium finish! 👏👏👏

[@DZMegamind]

Your comentary is just pure fun i watch other channel but i think your insights and enthusiasm is what sets you above the rest great sprint great video as always cant wait to see more jeff Also Saun is a beast he remind me a bit of Mark Cavendish 😅

[@jamesf8864]

That was a really exciting finish! Fantastic view back at Sean sprinting clear of the field there! Awesome stuff!!

[@shepshape2585]

Love your videos. Between the great perspectives, the editing and the commentary, you really feel like you're in the race. Great job on the 1-2 finish.

[@Obsrvr86118]

Huuuuuge power dump on the final sprint. very impressive stuff from both of you.

[@bestretirementever7931]

Great race, great finish. Again, thank you for providing QUALITY NorCal content, well narrated.

[@JwallzMTB]

hell yeah sean, caught the group lackin and capitalized

[@sidneyrogers5970]

The Match Factory almost stacked it. Good job keeping it upright EJ!

[@dag221]

These videos are just awesome. Love the race craft, the insight and the perspectives of what actually goes on in these races.

[@josephlazatin8199]

Holding a 1000-1200 watts sprint for 15sec and a sprint that lasted 30 . You aint human

[@123oner2]

That finish was supreme from both of you, congrats!!!

[@Omnis2]

3:20 Hey look, it's EJ blasting through the wind AGAIN lol.

[@aquilonianace4791]

Hindsight is 20/20...

[@aquilonianace4791]

40mph 400 meter sprint in the wind... you're fast af

[@TylerBartleyBike]

Wow that was prob the best video ive seen. So intense. Great job. Great vid. Love it.

[@twistedwires7318]

Hey Jeff. Could you put together some content on cornering at speed? Watching you guys corner that fast has always confirmed that my own bike and wheels CAN hold the road. I just have no confidence that they will. I'm a tall racer, 6'3" with a high center of gravity on my bike, so I always feel like I'm going to caterwaul off the road and fly into a tree or lose grip and slide out. Please put something together about cornering skills, techniques, and definitely the confidence and mentality to corner like that. Thanks. Great video. Congrats on the 1/2.

[@williamforbes7156]

that was an insane setup, i think you should credit yourself too, like nearly 1300 watts for a quarter mile w/o radios or pre race prep. feels good to see a nice performance no wrecks so thank you for posting.

[@Geebus77]

Sean reminds me of Mark Cavendish. Just looks like he doesn't belong on a bike at all until you see his sprint and then its nothing but grace in motion.

[@cahal]

Oof, that was extremely tight at the end. Sean has no fear!

[@paulvanderheyden7373]

Super exciting and so well represented with the way you used the footage to explain the race dynamics.

[@santanalor9771]

That was wild! Congratulations guys

[@tsumner2821]

Great having you back Jeff. The unofficial fourth member of Hanson has been hijacking your channel with vlogs.

[@katomiler843]

A little bit a luck and a whole lotta experience and fitness! Way to go Jeff and Shawn 👍 great one-two. Great production and content.

[@gb-bp1me]

Nice job boys!

[@smallrob19]

Holy shit! That was so awesome.

[@thecyclinggreek274]

Heck of a video and commentary.

That was so dooooope! Hell yeah. Also did EJ join velokings? Good on him!

This is like a top CIA operation tactics revealed. Thanks as always ✌️💪

[@rvdploegsa]

[@Clauds43]

Watching the difference between a cat 3 (EJ) and Jeff is gold.

[@crooksffm2175]

Hella teamwork brother!

[@DerrickAbucheri]

So happy to see you guys pick W's!!!

[@gchesterton]

Hahahaha so Sean didn't actually benefit from your leadout -- you guys have two sprinters that don't even need a leadout!

[@elyasChit]

You guys are beasts 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Damn well done to you both!

[@hammerridecycling7630]

beast as always jeff!

[@ericmosher6969]

I don't think I have ever ridden 40 mph without the aid of a large hill.

[@_rcs]

Great idea to remove the rear cam for last few hundred meters. It was very exciting!

[@Alan_Hans__]

The maned man made his presence known by twitching in front of Jeff with no far to go. Great 1, 2 win to Mike's Bikes.

[@etapepartners]

that was great ! thats why at the Pro level its so physical in the bunch sprint. contact is required to hold a leadout wheel. in a race with big elite teams that are known to be very physical. you guys will need to be a bit more aggressive .

[@bluemystic7501]

Well done, fellas!!

[@adamhill8290]

Wow. Impressive!

[@CyclingAlgarvePortugal]

Super cool! What was the winner time?

[@sebasm7255]

Hey Jeff! What do you use to mount the GoPro?? Looking for something so if you or anyone have suggestions would love to check them out

[@aaronmcdevitt1166]

I remember the one time I did that race, I thought it was too far so I didn't get to the front before the chicane, some weird move in front of me made me lose speed and I came in 4th. First through that chicane would have been a guaranteed win. Was probably cat 3 at the time, cuz I was never so close in the 1/2 races.

[@davidwebster2616]

good job boys!

[@erickd3250]

Wow

[@joedillier7113]

Holy white lycra batman

[@Swimmer47]

In terms of skills, is there a vast difference between the pros and, say, Cat. 2? What does it take to go from Cat. 2 to Cat. 1? What equipment is made available to riders in these hugely talented riders? I am a Cat. 4.

[@cbb3062]

When I'm racing in my head before the race it's like I'm smart I watxh norcal I have boss strategy but it different in real life when your heart rate is 180 plus to make the right decisions weather to chance or notm

[@nigelmcclean4166]

WOW!!!
