Cabras UCI World Cup Lap
มุมมอง 5Kหลายเดือนก่อน
One lap of Round 3 of the @ucichannel Cylcross World Cup in Cabras, Sardinia. It's been a pleasure and honor to represent USA here and I can't wait to see how the world takes to this course. Its fast, and will remain fast throughout the weekend, even with the rain. Check out my other videos in the Short Track Gravel series and subscribe to see Project Lead Lap this spring!

IS SHORT TRACK GRAVEL OVER?
มุมมอง 8833 หลายเดือนก่อน
In the series finale of the USCX, I ask the hard hitting question: What do you want to keep from the month? And what do you want to throw away? It is a way to reflect, to acknowledge both the good and the bad. It's been an absolute pleasure to do this series and to have so many people involved. Watch the video all the way through to help it gain more traction than a Challenge Limus! Featuring: ...
Why do you Ride Short Track Gravel? #STGRVL

In this longer form video, I wanted to explore people's inspirations. Michael Phelps added a ton to swimming, Michael Jordan changed the sport of basketball, who is your person in cycling? We have some new faces, some old faces and at the end, I tell you my "WHY".

RIDERS VS MECHANICS in Short Track Gravel

This week in Short Track Gravel, we pit the Riders against the Mechanics. Who works harder? The answers might surprise you...This year, I'm racing the @trekuscxseries of Short Track Gravel #STGRVL and wanted to ask my friends more about our sport and why you should give it a nudge.

This season at the @trekuscxseries, The Small Monsters Project is hosting the "Little Belgians" Kids races. It's a safe space to rip laps on a special course and have lots of fun! Here's hightlights of the first race at Roanokes GoCross, the first stop of the series.

Gravel. It's the word with the most buzz around it. The niche cycling that everyone wants to try, and I think we found a sport that can save it from dying off. This year, I'm racing the @trekuscxseries of Short Track Gravel #STGRVL and wanted to ask my friends more about our sport and why you should give it a nudge.

Damnit Ben! I embarrassed, I had no idea you doing these. SO good brother! We'll see you around in 25!
Saw you on the chyron!! Andrew is top 20!
Then they stopped showing past top 15 :-(
Enjoyed the conversation/breakdown! A little confused as to why no mention of Hulst the day before?
Hulst was 2h away from where we’re staying, Zonhoven was 30 min. So we chose the sand as it’s a bit more specific than the Hulst course. This was Friday before Saturday Hulst then we go to Zonhoven to race
Great video!
Cheers!
Keep it up. I like the approach of of multiple rider voices.
Glad you like it!
Way cool way to do a pre ride.
Are you at Namur?
Nice lap show. Shame you didn't get to race.
How unfortunate the race was cancelled. What a loss to everyone.
I agree with you wholeheartedly
Thanks for the sneak peak. Please tell us about the weather predictions that ultimately caused problems. Happy holidays y'all.
thanks from Sardinia ;-)
Thank you too!
@@Benjamfred So sorry for the cancellation of the race. see you next year ;-)
They really replaced Val di Sole with this...? Apart from that start drag and 1 sand sections it's not the most inspiring of tracks. Best of luck Sunday!!
I will say the days of riding that ive had around the race are probably better than the riding in Val di Sole in the snow ;)
@Benjamfred warmer weather is always more preferable than snow but the point was that Val di Sole was unique, added something to the WC that you couldn't get anywhere else. This looks generic and they could have made it so much better. I love sandy races like Koksijde and Zonhoven. Missed opportunity I think. Do we know if the racing is going ahead?
Let’s go!!
The random sand pits are diabolical!
Off line and you're stopped dead!
Thanks for that, very interesting as a preview, much appreciated 🙂
Great video ! Thank you so much for sharing this, very helpful. I wish you can do more in the coming races. I like the fact that you comment after, when reviewing your video. Good luck tomorrow !
Dry nicely done. Good luck on Sunday!
*very
Good luck in the race.Thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. But hopefully riding around China Beach Aftercake has made you a sand riding expert. Also if youre racing out there on Sunday then how are you gonna feed me cookies at West Point Inn? You''ll owe us cookies Ben!
Excellent quote 🤓
Thanks and good luck. No barriers ( yet anyway) but lots of sand. Maybe too much.
Ah, it will be fun!!
Yes I did enjoy that and best of luck to you. Seascapes aside that is an ugly course - I swear you could have been in the Florida panhandle with that terrain. Can we call it a “sand crit?” I guess the UCI will go anywhere that pays their exorbitant event fee.
Hey @neilashton9459, I'm here and not complaining! To be fair to lots of courses in the "motherland" of Belgium, are literally fields full of cow sh*t and we hold it up to be the "VERY BEST RACING EVER"! And also, racers make the race. We'll have some fun and the time spent here around the race has been amazing.
This was awesome! I thought for sure you were going to comment on your own comments like "yeah, good point Ben of the past." I was entertained though. Good luck!
do you think the rocks on course would make running a tubeless tire worth it? Or is there no comparison?
I’m planning on having tubeless in the pit just in case! Pre ride on the tubs today will help determine what the start tire will be
Thanks a lot! Very handy with a new course
You are welcome!
Nice work Ben. Just watched it with Jen!
Awesome! Thank you!
Definitely Short Track Gravel!! Best of luck.
@@AndrewMooreAUS USCX trained me well
awesome! good luck! lead lap here we go!!
Hope you're going to post a vid from the actual race. Would be cool to see the speedy mayhem 😎
The UCI wouldn't approve unfortunately
Nevermind, found out our national sports TV channel will be airing a recording of the race. Godspeed to you on this short track gravel race. Hope you have your aero suit with a bladder and 2.2” Race Kings ready!!! 🤪
The ground is so dry / crunchy! The rain might just run off into the sea. Now show us the cafe and pizza. 🍕🍕🍕🍕
You'll have to wait for the Project Lead Lap series for that ;)
Good luck!
Thanks!
wow, that was great! Subscribed!
Such a fun series. Keep the vibes going and can't wait to see what you have coming in December
Oh it's gonna be awesome...
So great! Keep these videos!
Hell yeah!
Really wish you could have made it out to Indianapolis this weekend. Would have loved to say hi and chat STGRVL.
I would have loved to as well, but my real life and day job was calling after 5 weeks on the road. Next yyear!!
Bigger better stronger faster next year!
You got it!
keep: these videos ... everyone coming to Charm next year / throw away: the heat ... the early season start ...
Throwing away the ice socks in a muddy race.
So much fun to be a part of these and see your comedic take on it all Ben! Yours truly, Chanel
Thank YOU!!!
MORE CHANEL PLEASE!
Incredible work to hype up CX and show how much more fun the short track is to long form gravel! Great work on the kid's races too!! Keep it up, Ben!
Will do B-Money!
Or why do you ride gravel at all
Riding on gravel roads and mixed surface is different than RACING GRAVEL. I love me an off road ride
+1 on Svenness and like a Vos! - but also, Ben, these 2024 videos are so so so good!!
Love that
No shout out for some SVENNESS by CX Hairs??? That was my inspiration!
Good Call!!!
What’s Jpow up to? Upgraded to long track gravel?
He’s holding it down with Athletes at @whoop!
This is brilliant, Ben
