[@truesouth100]

Drone shot is next level Jeff!!

[@ShawnIsBatman]

Being a solo rider in that race, your 20th place was absolutely respectable! It looked like you did everything that you could with the opportunities that you had. Unless you could hammer 1500 watts for the entire last lap, you were not going to be able to negate the advantages that the teams with multiple riders had in those final laps.

[@NorCalCycling]

Solo riders were able to crack the top ten so I def could’ve been positioned better but I may have spent my pennies earlier in the race. Appreciate the kind words!

The drone shots are incredible. Also, this crit racing stuff is totally insane. Trauma alert waiting to happen.

[@jgrefrath]

This was SO GOOD, with the variety of feeds and insiders view from the washing machine. I'm always amazed at the skills of top level criterium riders, their ability to position, pass, and even bump when necessary and "safely", especially through corners. Please keep this content coming.

Was great meeting you there Jeff! I'm always eager to see the next video you create, keep it up!

Thanks! Will do!

[@Supermonkey001]

You should investigate more in Belgian Junior races! They take a lot more risks and there you can point out a lot of mistakes they make so you can teach everyone how to do it correctly. Love the content btw!

[@finncurry4157]

Just did my first race last night (four corner, super flat crit Brugger Abendrennen). It was 30MPH average for 75 minutes. Didn't get in the break away, but finished in the top third. FDJ conti pro showed up and destroyed. Was sick. Never thought it would feel so much like watching one of these videos.

[@franciscoalmonte6953]

Just another level 💪🏼. Thanks 🙏🏼 to talk all through the video.

[@maximkrivov]

20th. Well done Jeff! Always interesting to watch your race breakdown videos. Good idea to post also longer format content like full races and podcasts ...sometimes that's what people want to turn on their trainer ride, anyway that's what I do.

[@JesseDishner]

Yeah me too, trick myself into thinking the numbers he's putting out are my own😂

[@paulhurdlow3490]

I love this content. Assume you knew in advance looking at the course that it was unlikely a break could succeed, just due to the speed that would have to be maintained to get established. But I love how you went for it anyway because...fun! And also because sitting in and waiting for the field sprint with all those big teams wasn't going to pay off.

[@Timtimzi]

Pretty awesome course layout for spectators compared to others. They’ll see you passing every minute or so . Now just need onboards and live cameras rolling for added production value.

Winfield was hard enough when it was just a local race.

[@asra6166]

Listening to these commentaries from Jeff for the past 2 years, he is always trying to do a breakaway and getting random riders to help him with this dream. Maybe it's time to actually get team mates to help you with this breakaway.

[@rotter8095]

you are so fast..but why you didnt sign any contract with world UCI team?

[@scotth3354]

In '93, I promoted a crit in Tucson. 1km 4 corner course, slight hill on the finishing straight. 1st race of the year, in FEB. 90 minutes, avg speed >30 mph. No aero frames, no deep dish wheels, no disc brakes, no massive carb intake, no powermeters, none of that. All we had was a cash prime, often a 2 or 3 place prime, at least every other lap. #showmethemoney #ringthebellsucka

Why is almost everyone carrying two bottles? Do you guys drink all the content during those races?

I always had two bottles but rarely finished both. I'd finish about half of the first during warmup, then all of the other during the race. Last half of that first bottle would get finished immediately after the race.

EJ sorry :D @@NorCalCycling

[@BodieMoto]

you said he only made up one spot 2:18 that guy made up like 10 spots by the time you stopped talking lmao

[@NorCalCycling]

I should’ve been more clear that outside pass where he almost crashed wasn’t worth the one spot. 10 seconds later when he followed a guy passing on the right was the right way to do it

[@othmanmohammedi5344]

jeff am sorry but you are always making excuses sorry if I sounded harsh but when was the last time you gave it your all like really fought shoulder to shoulder for position I feel like you playing it way too much safer then you should you got civilized and maybe it's age but I just want to see you try once for real give it your all

[@NorCalCycling]

I give it my all everytime, but there’s a courtesy factor I’m not willing to crash out others in the process

[@wassimdhaouahira7907]

What do you want him to do? Crash out an entire field for the sake of position? Ruin his reputation? Catch a ban for reckless riding? Get to the p1/2 level, go to a national race like this then pitch in your two cents on how he should ride. He's a valuable resource for people like me who have been following him for years. He teaches how to win safely and consistently. If you have "better" advice then make a channel and show us you winning at a high level.

[@othmanmohammedi5344]

am sorry I understand....I guess i just wanted to see you stand on the podium at least once before I die and especially this time I felt like you had a lot left in the tank by the end of many of the Races but hey you are a great cycling content creator and you are the only reason I follow cycling so much I just feel sometimes you can, not crush but bully other into position lol but hey no worries I overreacted cause I thought your going to pop off at the end 😅@@NorCalCycling

[@fh6758]

This is more dangerous than F1...

[@75supercourse]

And more interesting to watch :) Truly though, the 4"x4" mailboxes inches off the course are a real hazard to these riders - not sure if F1 danger level, but non-trivial if you hit one at 50kph.
