The Most Dominant Crit Performance: Utah

Inside the race where we went 1,2,3,4,5

[@PatrickLino]

Man these videos never get old.

[@nationsnumber1beast]

Thanks!

[@KmanRider]

Awesome final lap. Loved the "never chase teammates " rule in effect, then let dude spend all the energy trying to bridge up and attacked his ass at the end of his effort. Clearly y'all playing chess while he was playing checkers.

[@dwaynerandolph3565]

That’s Ama, he not only was on the team but he still trains with them sometimes. Oh yes he’s also my neighbor & a good brother 👏🏽

[@KmanRider]

@@dwaynerandolph3565he's strong as an ox to pull back that entire train

[@mrwezbo]

10:03 bro! That got saved? Unreal, well done

[@photogough4879]

You can clearly see dude throw an elbow into you at 10:01 which causes the big wheel slip - and then he threw a fit about contact after causing it 😵‍💫 Bravo on the race, video, and everything Legion is doing. Y'all are inspiring.

[@nationsnumber1beast]

i was explaining that to him after the race but he didnt want tp hear it lol

[@johnhall298]

@@nationsnumber1beast This video shows how out of position he was the whole race too, trying to butt into the legion train because his team couldn't get organized enough to bring him up themselves. They were a strong team as individuals, but this was a good example of a strong team vs a high race IQ(and strong) team

[@rockymanbro]

This video tells the whole story. The entire internet was up in flames after this race. Thousands of triathletes and fondo participants where suddenly expert witnesses in the court of Legion vs "Best Buds". Where's your expert analysis NOW???? Fading back into the bushes like Homer Simpson. Legion speaks extremely freely about how to race at this level. NO ONE LISTENS. They just throw stones and say they are dangerous when in reality it's the exact opposite.

[@ryanbeck5604]

Haha, when you let that gap open up and then made the other guy bridge, gold.

[@shepshape2585]

So cool to see the pros do it. Several racers try to cut into the Legion train but they are denied time and time again. Even the national champ got nudged out of there. Congrats on the win guys.

[@allevarity7141]

That solar glare off of that turn is wicked !!

[@askmeaboutmymixtape]

at 9:22 after some words are exchanged number 1 and 4 both look back simultaneously and over different shoulders and its so harmonious

[@letriciabrowder2942]

I look forward to these uploads! Thanks guys!

[@whychooseone]

You guys are on a whole different level😱, it's crazy!

[@nicholasmiller733]

Great video and well done. The twilight is an illusion for how hot is was outside that evening. Nice work and well earned.

[@letriciabrowder2942]

You guys motivate me to get in shape!

[@ronbeardsley5961]

Wow 🤩 great footage, and a great race! 👍✊💪

[@raanyroad9110]

Amazing footage and edit!

[@Rshorttt]

Excellent!

[@brianw.videographer8392]

Love your videos and the ambient sounds are awesome. Are you able to add narration along with ambient sound. As I watch your videos I would love a voice-over explaining the tactics, what you are thinking. Thank you for putting out great vids.

[@blue98jettavr6t]

Yes!!! Damm I wish I could see all of y’all on the podium. 🎉

[@mardymarc_]

I can't Wait to watch intelligentsia cup now ... Mad excited to see this in person

[@davidmakoso8286]

Brilliance right there!

[@thisishowthetruthdies684]

"Aided by a well-timed crash which led to a split" and "dominating" are two things that my brain won't allow to co-exist. Granted, talent allowed the team to all be in front of the crash when it occurred but one through five, let's be real here.

[@Engineerbydey]

That was so sick!!

[@01FozzyS]

BAM! Perfect tactics.

[@hernanhernandez3861]

Wow! What a gap. Love the new kits.

[@michaelsteele5495]

Very motivating! thank you. Where can fans like me buy the Legion Kit and show support?

[@blue98jettavr6t]

Also great footage. Crispy!!

[@cosmonott1]

Hey Cory! Where can i buy the Legion (Black/Gold) helmet worn by you guys in this video? Huge fan of your work!

[@Efdub]

That ending! The afterburners were turned on. Dropped the entire peleton 😳

[@djschives4673]

Ahhah the dude that crash held the field up! No afterburners deployed.

[@RexRoberts]

Insane

[@seventwice]

Digging the rear facing footage!

[@reflectionsdetail]

A lot better than 2023 race, heal up

[@stephenmalta2906]

When the Legion 5 realizes it's all legion ahead of him so he starts pedaling again-- haha love it @11:15

[@blaquaman1739]

Watching on my spin bike I thought I won the race 😂😂😂

[@LiveStravaKOMs]

Golden

[@adamcunningham6596]

L39ION coming back to the SLC Crit this July 2023? Would love to see the team live in their dominate fashion.

[@djbattledmv]

Wow that was intense! So much going on at those speeds, no time for thinking, you have to know! I hope the crashed kid was ok. Looks like stars and stripes did some dirty physical contact in that turn, GREAT handling skills by Cory there. That could've been really bad. I know you all bump going straight, I know I won't be bumping in a high speed turn. Great race with results here to show it. That had to be emotional, I felt the energy watching this. Salute 💯

[@HeavensentGojo]

I don't think it was dirty it's just at that high speed there is no time to think but just go it happens in every final lap because it's so exhilarating everyone wanna win so the only thing in their mind is go go go amd sometimes we don't realise the mistake we make until after

[@TreyCoursey]

Unfortunate the fallout though. Hate that. Looking forward to this coming season!

[@geraldtone5914]

What fallout?

[@adamweb]

What place did you guys take? ALL OF THEM.

[@xcplz1]

10:17 surrender YES

[@4AcreWoodEstate]

They eliminated the MH threat real quick… good control guys

[@pushBAK]

What's tougher.. Belgian cobbles or regular streets of America?

[@Chahtawarrior31]

bravo zulu L39ion Of LA!

[@jk2302]

Was there any sort of significance to Alec's red helmet or was that just a personal choice?

[@athame9072]

R E S P E C T

[@oblio44]

Wow! Top 5 positions won by LEGION. Go Socal!!!

[@benjamindent4806]

That corner is cursed. Where Cory went down in 23. Is the road slippery there? Or a false impression in the road?

[@korethoe262]

Pack your bags, take a plane, cross the pond, and race against the best!!!! The Green Jersey isn't going to some place called Utah, you must go to him.

[@enochmogusu8573]

The entire podium 💀

[@laod7192]

I'm riding trainer while watching this video. 4:49 almost made me steering my bike.

[@gilbucle]

😂

[@johnflynn4923]

I hope number 7 was ok after his crash just at the end of the race!

[@user-bj7kt9vm2c]

The sprinter who slipped in the corner used a high gear. It weakened his grip on the road.

[@jrwalling23]

Who flatted or crashed at 10:01?! Insane finish guys.

[@sethvanwieringen215]

I think nobody of Legion. Cory is the only one with the gopro and the footage continues after that moment. Not sure about the national champs jersey tho

[@rockymanbro]

I think its Justin. I'm also pretty confident this is the first recorded burping of a road tubeless tire on video. The fact Justin was able to keep it upright speaks to how good these guys are. Anyone who has ever burped a MTB tubeless tire can attest.

[@AlexPeka]

They would have won anyway for sure but they came in all together because (luckily for them) the chap at the front of the bubble crashed and the entire field got stuck behind

[@TheCarlRover]

How many In-N-Out gift cards did y’all give that Aevolo kids 😂

[@kelleycarr7954]

Split the whole field.

[@Kreatve]

speedometer would be great

[@williambuckley6128]

Get off my train National Champion! That was funny.

[@bosox801]

How come we never see the footage from the rider behind him? His brother pretty sure he has a camera on? Just asking the question? That train has been known to do their share of rubbing is racing so it’s fair game.

[@andrewsandoz8005]

Audio?

[@twraia]

Miss the old videos with commentary. I understand the issue with time, perhaps it is possible to collaborate with other commentators?

[@NickGoldston]

no contest

Hey Cory. You should add commentary. Would be even better.

[@nationsnumber1beast]

Don’t have the time sadly

[@vincecaito6985]

@@nationsnumber1beast Understandable, as I see you most mornings doing laps. 😀

[@jls1337]

what happened with the best buddies train around 7:20? they just dropped number 8 which I assume is their sprinter... for what? to starting pulling in the front for l39ion? weird tactics. Poor number 8 was trying so desperately to get on the l39ion train and stop eating wind that he almost ended up eating pavement

[@jls1337]

from the comments it seems that he ended up eating a fist from Justin. smh

[@ikramidris2386]

Feel sorry for the number 6 rider at 10:30 😅

[@bosschu]

While everyone doing a Crit and you went TTT

[@jules9923]

It could have been more competitive if it wasn't for that late crash. A dub nonetheless. Beasting as always

[@philliptorres5944]

doubt it

[@sparkvitaminwater]

Anyone break 40mph?

[@nationsnumber1beast]

yeah the guy that no one talks about....

[@AggroEntro]

nice line 1:47

[@srh148]

Let’s be honest, Dominant only because a crash split the group🤦🏼

[@KO47893]

And the one non-Legion rider who was in front of the crash didn't stand a chance, especially when the wheel he was on dropped anchor and made it a 1-vs-1 for 5th place.

[@reddoe7055]

Race strat 101. Stay in front of crash

[@steven320]

Middle aged men acting young and cool. Grow up chaps! Loads of doping in this low level racing.
