I love this channel so much. I’ve been watching for the past year and although I have no intentions of entering any crit races I find these breakdowns so informative and well done. These videos really help me to enjoy and respect cycling so much more as a spectator. Awesome work Jeff!
Can't tell the players without a program. We don't know who all the hitters are. You have to keep telling us. That's how the viewers who do know who they all are learned. From you. And it helps, that these guys aren't anonymous, to tell your story. Fine work.
That takes nerves of steel, the last 150 meters when you saw the attack on the left, you waited a full 1.5 seconds and didn't respond, and you got the leadout of a lifetime! All it took was 1.5 seconds of patience, at the right time 😊 and a good feel for those around you
Love your videos Jeff. Looking forward to getting back to some racing after years out of competition. Your videos are great for motivation, and analysis. Greetings and best wishes from the U.K! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
wow! great video!!! i like your comments and i learn a lot from them! i use to play soccer but with bad knees and back i can't run as well as i use to, so i started cycling about a year ago... and your channel has been the go to when it comes to learning how to be a racer! thanks a lot!
It's 10:04 when you jump on Jerome's wheel, you knock on the door of 1,400 watts, and you're still above 800 when you cross the line at about 10:30. I'm sure positioning helps, but with 30-second power like that you just need to start in the right zip code.
Performance Bicycle unfortunately closed in my local area. They had a 70% off storewide before they closed. Should have bought an s-works but I didn't start cycling then.
That Performance Bike is gone. A-Main Cycling purchased their website, several brands, and some inventory when PB went bankrupt. The old PB only sold Fuji and other brands owned by Fuji's parent company so don't worry, you wouldn't have been able to get anything good anyway.
@@z400jt idk. Fuji made some solid stuff. For example fuji track elite bikes are still used and coveted by many really good racers. I know people who put out 2k+ watts, well past 40mph sprints, and 500 pound squats that love them because they're so good especially for the money
@@chriswitek9455 That's fair. I worked with a guy who was a masters national champ on the track who won on a Fuji track bike. I'm speaking more about an S-Works equivalent road, mountain, or gravel bike. The best bike they had was the top of the line SL but our shop never got anything better than a $3,000 Transonic 🤮
Is there a great breakaway finish video anyone recommends from this channel? I just started watching this year and he talks about breakaways a lot but I haven’t seen a video finish with a breakaway. Really want to see what a race like that looks like. Love this guys content, good fun.
loving these . wish i could sprint ... how do you claw back your sprint after a while off the bike im struggling to hit 1200 watts peak whereas i used to regularly hit 1400-1600 peak . will it bounce back ?
Are you still planning to do a follow up review of the S7 Tarmac? I’d really like to hear your thoughts on the ride/handling comparison between the S7 and your Venge...
Jeff - Love the channel, but the beginning in your Performance Bicycle Plug - You dissed Amazon. Fair enough, then I checked the description with 8 Amazon Links. Can you swap those for Performance's products?
Random question but I've been looking to change up my sprint training: are you big on slight downhill sprint training, especially for high cadence stuff?
He said before on an interview that he does not practice sprints outside of these training races at all. He mostly just trains his FTP to make it to the sprint in good position.
@@sarahtisdale3094 Thank you! I'm interested to know how often they get into close calls or have to stop because of higher traffic when they come around the corners with the stoplights and cars passing.
Look at usacycling.com that’s where you can find all the registered events. You will need to get a license to race as well which you can get day of or buy one for the whole year! Good luck 🤟
It'd be interesting for you to do an Alviso race where you give commentary on how other riders/teams could neutralize you or make your win much more difficult. Cause you pwn way too hard.
Apparently, it is allowed to do so in the US / in California. Also, it seems they are allowed to ignore red traffic lights when turning right... Oh man, here in Germany races don't get organized because authorities want to have thousands and thousands of Euros for switching off traffic lights on a closed course. Because, in Germany, we "cannot" ignore traffic lights on a fkn closed course. So we pretty much don't race, because we can't afford to pay the morons/authorities.
Performance bikes new website is missing critical information like full nutrition facts and ingredients data (or just a picture of the bscn panel) on a whole lot of products.
Race and ride with faster guys and you get stronger. Also it happens to be that Jeff is very smart. He doesnt let himself get into a position where he needs to do a monster pull to finish strong. Not to mention its a training race. Guys are gonna do things they wouldn't necessarily normally do in a usac crit. This is a good time and place to try things that aren't in your wheel house. Maybe try sprinting long, or getting in a break, or attacking for the workout, etc
@@stefankucera2390 It‘s pretty good though it totally depends on the length of the sprint. It isn’t that difficult to sprint at 60 for 10 seconds but it becomes a lot more difficult if you want to continue longer. Also, often you are slower after sprinting as your legs are exhausted and must rest a bit/they hurt
You still start all your videos with a spoiler of what everyone came to see. I don't get that. I've seen it now, so why stick around and watch the rest of the video? I mean, I know I can just skip to the end of the video anyway, but that really just further illustrates why putting the climactic clip at the beginning of the video doesn't make any sense.

I don't even cycle competitively in any capacity, I just love watching these
Do you ever get tired of winning this race?
Haha fr tho
Looking too easy already hahaha
@@seanburns9835 Are you Sean Burns, working in Darmstadt, Germany?
Fr. it's never even close.
Thanks for spoiling it
I think you need a 'Don't Chase Teammates' jersey for sale.
I'm always amazed how Jeff destroys everyone in the sprint
I don't race but I secretly apply many of these tactics driving my car and silently judge all the bad drivers wasting energy!
Don't chase fellow Hondas

1400w, when I started following you were at like 1200-1300w. Correct me if I'm wrong
Once you become a masters rider you get to hit up your local men's health clinic. I'm only joking.
Love your video's man, let us know when you come to the Netherlands

my god you obliterated everyone on that sprint
Bro you inspire me to do better and be the best I can be. Keep uploading videos.
Another alviso! Let's gooooo

1200W! Look how far ahead you finish, went past your last man like he was crawling! Amazing power
The dude with the hi-viz yellow socks has calves that would make Johnny Drama full of envy.
all about the contrast.
Love your videos Jeff. Looking forward to getting back to some racing after years out of competition. Your videos are great for motivation, and analysis. Greetings and best wishes from the U.K! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The gap you create at the end is Nutz 💪

It gives me some leeway, but if I started that sprint from 500m to go I lose, if I'm 15th wheel with 200m to go I lose. Position is still critical.
Thank u. As a one trick pony sprinter, this is my biggest dilema.
Cool by Performance. Maybe add performance links to your Amazon links?
That was such a well timed sprint

Well done Sir! Respect from brazil
It helps that you're an absolute machine.

Haha classic, where does his true intention sit
Can you do a video on how to improve your sprint?
Woooo norcal posted !!!so hyped for his videos
2:45 Trek jersey. White/Red/Black. Fit! Bike! Kit! Looks Eeeeeffecient!(Edit: Mentioned later. Donald. 😁)
Awesome video
We should name you the Lord of Alviso already.
Absolutely love your videos.
Nice race!
Dude, you make it look waaay too easy! Haha

@@endofthelinex1 Naturally gifted git!
I would love to learn more about how to make a good and safe weekly crit like this? Course specifics, shape, distance, traffic, etc?
From 7:19, you can see the course is 2.5k around. The other important things are 1) all right turns, 2) low traffic. What else?
@@sarahtisdale3094 Thank you! I'm interested to know how often they get into close calls or have to stop because of higher traffic when they come around the corners with the stoplights and cars passing.
Hey Jeff, What tan wall tires do you guys run? The 25mm gp5000s?
26mm turbo cottons that came with the bike.
Nice man. Greetings from Italy
Merciless Jeff going all by his own
Like the Miami Vice intro music 😂
Prismatic Madone 👌👌👌
Nice bro your killing it best alviso
sorry just for information but are they clandestine races or organized workouts? because there is no staff and the traffic is open even if little
Its an unsanctioned practice crit. Jeff has been held up by a truck before even.
Where did the other guys go on that last straight. Not a sight of them 😂
Hello im a fan from Philippines
I order a lot from performance bicycle they are nice to do business with.
Great vid!
totally smashed them!
How did you improve your sprint
Where do u sign up to go racing I’m just a beginner
Look at usacycling.com that’s where you can find all the registered events. You will need to get a license to race as well which you can get day of or buy one for the whole year! Good luck 🤟
Hero.
How do they identify the distance left after all those laps?
Sprint clinic!
You are speed
Thats dope
yessssss
Jerome's bike is so sexxxxxy dang.
May i ask what gear you used on sprinting? Is it 53/14?
I know its NorCal Cycling, but Alviso is SoCal right ?
It'd be interesting for you to do an Alviso race where you give commentary on how other riders/teams could neutralize you or make your win much more difficult.
Cause you pwn way too hard.
Do you use protection on your go pro?
1400 watts is crazy good, whats ur weight.
power! ..
Respect for the bloke riding with a face mask!
Smoked!
The thing confuses me most is how the road is so flat
I had a broken hearth.... rate monitor
You do crit-races on a not for trafic closed course?

Mom said it’s my turn to get pinned
I wonder why these guys keep racing against you. You beat them by several bike lengths on a regular basis.

Lets go
What is your bike?
someone said "JEFF" ? @0:50
I mean I did 350W for 30 sec after intervals and that's it. HOW CAN YOU GO ABOVE 1000W bruuuuuhhhh
love your videos
Thanks!
Alviso :-D
That dude wearing the mask tho hahah
1:37 : Wait a minute, a LOOK bike ? In Norcal ? What a pleasant surprise.
Do you know if that guy has trained or raced in Europe ? Is he even French ?
It looks like ur going faster than 40 mph
A 62kmh sprint
thats good or bad?

And the vegan cyclist said you rusty lol you left those guys in your dust
well it issss 6 week old footage ;)
Are these guys on your level, you beat them by 20m on a bunch sprint.

Without the heart rate it’s hard to believe your not like 300 pounds and weight doping....wait a minute is this Zwift?
Perfect sprint finish !
