Thanks for the shout out man! I try to explain my thought process of my attack which is clunky at best. It may or may not have been the catalyst for about what ended up being 6-7 riders sending an early flyer we then all had to chase back. Nice work! 👊
Great video and commentary. Makes me want to get out there and give it a go. Super numbers and visuals as well. My comment on the break - it's too big when you don't know who is in it with you, because then you start thinking that people are sandbagging and not taking a pull. Once that happens, the trust is broken and riders pull up and start looking around. My only critique, and this is coming as an American, is switch to metric on the commentary. Cycling is an international sport measured in km. If US crits are all imperial, and that's your audience, cool. But everyone else is doing conversions in their heads while listening.
Thank you for this feedback. You’re right, this sport is an international sport and it would certainly be worth changing over to metric system in these vids considering I’m looking to reach viewers beyond the US. Thanks again! Oh, and you should get out there. I’ve found it to be incredibly rewarding on so many levels.
You've come a long way baby!! Did you expect to be in the P123, or were surprised ? And,,,,,,...... as far as placement in the finish goes, how much of it is race acumen, and how much is race fitness? I suppose what Im asking is if you have supreme fitness of the entire group, will you dominate, or does race decision trump fitness?
Hey Cliff thank you bro! I fully expected to be racing p123 this year at Eldo but wasn’t sure how I’d fare placement wise or fitness wise for the matter. It’s been a slow but very steady progression fitness wise I’d say and doing this race every week has had everything to do with that fitness progression. So many stronger racers will make you stronger. I think race craft or race smarts will always be more advantageous than being the fittest in the bunch. So as I progressed through each race I used what learned last season in the 4/5s tactics wise at Eldo and started racing like that in these p123s and started seeing a nice trend results wise. I think once you have knowledge of who is who and also how to race the course most efficiently it all plays into this progression
@cassettecycling I see. I always hear stories of these super fit triathlete trying bike ra ING for the first time then destroying the field, but at more advanced levels, that supreme fitness is less of a factor. I'm glad for your confidence, that's half the battle. Keep it up brother. With that attitude you're rise like cream on milk.

I like the commentary, gives the video some flavor - however, we know who came 2nd and who came 11th...but who won?
Cory took home 🥇 👊
For the eastern part of the course you damn near need a (football) mouthpiece… 😂😂😂
Haha certainly adds to the “character” of the course
@@cassettecycling 😂 definitely!!
