Getting Destroyed at Alviso

[@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.

[@geraldtone5914]

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

[@NorCalCycling]

Too true 😭

[@avenc8516]

Never get tired of the chest cam

[@cyclenutter2715]

So immersive init

[@kylehagertybanana]

plus that clean aerofly cockpit mmmmmm

[@PaulRiezebos]

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

[@audieali9556]

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

[@chrisgray8064]

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

[@nicholi1246]

7:10 Chris looking buff as hell

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@jonathanwise47]

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

[@bon9cat]

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

[@Sirkanuts]

exactly haha just like old times

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 👌🏻

[@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.

[@freshpootube]

Wow. This view of a race and the commentary is great.

[@Hardcaslte]

380 watts is a comfortable effort is insane.

[@NorCalCycling]

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

[@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.

[@edwin7150]

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

[@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

[@davidpeterson3778]

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

[@irlrp]

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

[@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!

[@jessewilliams1129]

Great race! Love the friend/competitiveness

[@harryluns]

Chris is a beast! 🔥

[@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

[@poincareconjecture5651]

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

[@noahhoch9915]

Finally got some great competition there

[@mark-1234]

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

[@mychemicaljojo]

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

[@hebrews11vs5]

380 NP for 20 minutes! Ouch.

[@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 😂😂

[@yowamushiguy9423]

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

[@yesil1026]

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

[@williamsamson2177]

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

[@_kngts2293]

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

[@JaywayWong]

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

[@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 🤷‍♂️

[@adamneilson6734]

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

[@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?

[@OM-sb2bd]

Dude that was awesome - great commentary.

[@abyn8220]

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

[@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

[@jcw7509]

Great sprint, great video!

[@SWells679]

Man! The camera quality!

[@zenpsalm1036]

Great content as always! I always preferred chest cams.

[@fluffy1973]

I had fun watching this. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@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.

[@monkeyx17]

that loop looks like insane fun

[@yas96225]

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

[@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.

[@_cpdchua]

Finally a new upload!!!

More are coming thanks for your patience

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

[@andrewsandoz8005]

I guess American crit racers need to be a little beefy. Some good sized boys out there. Thx for the video, enjoyed it.

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

[@krishvasavada4108]

one of your best videos

[@fs.1g]

holy moly. good sprint

[@death2pc]

Look at all the wonderful plastic "aero" bikes Made in China with all the "aero" stuff and those real neat disc brakes. Wow, disc brakes. They make you go so much faster just like all the "aero" stuff. Did I see some "aero" water bottles?

[@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?

[@staszekpiernik6815]

I thought it was some kind of game

[@paulmichaelpolsinelli1945]

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

What do you use to get the wind direction telemetry?

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

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

[@MELLOW1__]

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

[@joblessalex]

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

[@GastroCycling]

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

[@stevedong5117]

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

[@raijuventures]

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

[@Babkyb]

nice race! congrats cris:)

[@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

[@bobbenson6302]

Chris looks like a BEAST! ;)

[@TheWorldisaLIE2]

the flatness is amazing wow. lol nothing like this exists in Maryland

[@arunask.6541]

Is there similar quality channel crosscountry instead ?

[@michaelskinny1]

how do you measure the watts and BPM?

[@-Xaverius]

what made you go with etap instead of di2?

[@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

[@firewolfninja694]

Yess!!

[@ichmagnichtunboxing1049]

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

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

Jeff has given me the confidence to actually grow out my facial hair. I'm pretty sure that goatee is giving him 30+ watts

[@BOOFSIDEPINS]

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

[@RobertLinthicum]

When do the climbs begin??

[@CHRISTALMOUNTAIN]

My hero Ricardo!!!

[@BioStuff415]

why so much space behind the wheel?

[@alldayali1695]

Chris Power is unreal

[@travispyle2905]

This makes you both stronger riders. In the first 2/3rds of the race mark him and only him. Only work 'with' him if chasing something back. If it's just the two of you off the front, don't pull ... frustrate him and let the group catch. Not a 'fun' type of racing. Might be mutual self destruction (what do I know, I have about 1% the race experience that you have).

[@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
