    As a dude who's never rode in a group this was pretty informative. I can average around 15mph on my own and found it dumbfounding looking at others average speed.

    I was waiting for tips to ride 26 mph with minimal effort solo..

    Had no idea this is what’s going on in a race. Couldn’t imagine going that speed so close to each other especially when you are so close to the curb or gravel. Hats off.

    Sitting in and saving energy is my forte. Solid top-100 finish every time.

    Lots of good info here, thanks for the tips and data sharing. It's so cool to see the power output overlayed onto race footage w/ commentary.

    I love watching those numbers when bridging to a breakaway. Modern bike tech has gone wild in the last two decades. Wireless shifting, tubeless tires, and all metrics being recorded in real time (with corresponding footage of terrain.). Great video!

    As someone who rides solo 95% of the time, 200-210W on flat terrain can get me to 20 mph over a long ride. Gonna need a Remco-esque CdA for anything more than that!

    Simply an excellent and informative video, and very much so even for those of us who bicycle regularly but don't race. The fluency of the narration, supported by zeroed-in graphical data points and perfectly edited video, was spot on and compelling. Kudos! And thank you!

    Great video. I haven't raced in 13 years, but man this makes me want to get back into it. Without racing, you have no idea how powerful a good slipstream is. The combination of the commentary, video, power, heart rate and speed. Feels like super Mario.

    This is awesome man. Just got a gravel bike after not riding for a long time and this kind of stuff is really motivating.

    I have a Phoenix Hydra 29 bike (not a road bike). I have been mostly on solo rides only and pull about 100 watts with an average speed of 24 kmph (nearly 15 mph) for about a 60km (~37 miles) ride. I wondered about others on Strava who had average speeds of more than 30 kmph (>20 mph). I always thought that it was because of the slim tires of their road bike. But this video changes that perspective and cleared a lot of doubts!

    Absolutely love following your exploits on the interwebs!! Thank you for sharing your experiences so honestly 👍🏼👊🏼🇺🇸

    I like the "Two Questions". Definitely important reminders to be intentional about your work in a race. If you want to get really deep, you could apply this to your actions outside of cycling as well. :)

    "What are you doing and why are you doing it?" Definitely something to keep in mind. Thanks Jeff cheers man🤟🏼

    I've never been to any race event but this video is pretty interesting that I've watched it all.

    I find these videos of yours very educational. Many cyclists are not aware of the aero effects. These two questions: What are you doing? and why are you doing it? are very helpful to find out if one's making a mistake in a race in case he/she can't answer them. Thanks from Brazil.

    Great video. As a novice cyclist, I learned a lot. Thank you!

    When i got into racing at 15 y/o my Belgian dad urged me to do no less of 18-19 mph when solo riding. He also fixated on maintaining high average revolutions, arguing that kept the legs and joints flexible and ready to go at any time. Thanks for your very analytical and informative video!

    I'm not a cyclist as such, though I do enjoy my bike rides too. But it would make me nervous riding so closely alongside another cyclist competing to get ahead. Unlike cars cyclists don't have rear vision or side mirrors. I don't know how you do it, but you guys do a marvellous job.
