Roger Millikan GP 2020

Cycling tactics explained: This video may also give some tips on how to race a criterium and also how to win a criterium. Thanks for watching!

The whole point of being a junior is to get in the way of the big boys. The point of being a 'big boy' is showing how to be a sportsman (and not to push juniors aside). Go kid!
Funny you say this because now Legion cried any time a team or rider doesn't let legion push them around
What did the guy @ 4:04 do wrong?
The brown jerseys were L3gion. They had a "train" of riders where the leader of the train will do an effort an allow all the teammates behind him to get a draft. Once the leader does his effort, he'll peel off and the person behind him will start their effort. This keeps the people in the back of the train in the draft and using less energy so they can eventually do the sprint. The guy at 4:04 was from an opposing team, and the problem was that he was simply trying to break L3gion's train by getting into it and slow it down, which is bogus.
If you look toward the end of the video, you'll see the blue jerseys doing their own train toward the end of the video.
@@alifizharulhaq3370 I think he's on about 2:22. That rider bashing bars endangers everyone behind them.
@@geraldtone5914 I'm a total noob so understand if I'm wrong but this makes no sense to me in a national crit. I get the breach of etiquette if it's a world tour stage and everyone is on a team of 8. Don't mess with each other's trains, make your own. But in a field where 1 team has 11, another has 7 and every other team has 2-5 guys, it makes no sense. In that case, your only shot at a win would be to actively disrupt and take advantage of oversized team's tactics, and they should be ready to deal with that. Overwhelming and bodying the field with 11 people seems far more unfair and 'bogus'... they need to also have freedom to do so without any challenge? where's the competition?
Wow, the communications at 5:10 really highlights the quality of leadership on the team. This is why you guys win races.
Agreed
cycling is so underrated
Depends on where you live, in some countries It's nonexistant, in some it's almost a religion
It's true it definitely depends, over here most people still cycle on roads with a mountain bike
@@juch3 For comfort and durability. Not everyone believes image is everything. Also possible to ride to trail and not drive
@@3mtech I think price plays a bigger factor, mountain bikes are a lot more cheaper than even entry-level road bikes
It would be a lot bigger if it was cheaper.
Honestly, one of the coolest cycling videos I've ever watched. Fascinating!
Check contador vs amstrong tdf ... youll be amazed
@@CarpeDiem13x nah dawg, if you want to see real bike racing, this is it. Check out American Crit as well. As a Road/Crit Racer and also fan of Mary Spender ('cause I'm an armature musician) its great to see the cross interest in sport and music ('cause that is where my heart is - race/train hard and make music - and work a 9-5 as an engineer).
Oh hi Mary!
Cycling and guitars 😎
@@johnr8820 present!
I watched this sipping my coffee this morning. That guy who crashed the field answered his own question. He wanted war. Nice video and congrats on the W.
Amazing to see people of my color in this sport I actually just bought a bike n seeing you n your brother in videos actually made me 100% more into it
People are all the same
I’m indian and the guy who got me into cycling was a 60+ year old African American in the best shape of his life. Yeah people are all the same but it’s still nice to see someone of color do it too especially as a brown dude. Ride on bros n sis!
Stay stoked! The more cyclists the more better :)

Same here let’s work!!
The final 2 laps, OMG, the camera view is ridiculous. I"m going to watch it again and again.
Wow....much respect! The way y'all strategized with a smaller team was classic. That's why you're the nations number 1 beast! Great teamwork
Glad u added the real deal conversations inside a crit race. Thank u for sharing...Congratulations on the win.
I really miss watching you guys on Sunday’s. I’m so PROUD of you @ Cory & Justin 💜. The best is yet to come.
You guys are AWESOME!! I love watching the vids. ESPECIALLY with the commentary. Thank Vegan Cyclist for turning me on to your channel.
I've watched this race 3 times now, and this is the most exciting footage. Plus COMMENTARY! Well done on the vid and race
I witnessed this in real time! Great dual commentary.
Congratulations fellas!
Much love Legion!
Amazing. Congratulations. It was phenomenal to see it in person as well as the vid with Commentary!!! 😎🤙🏽
Seriously you guys are legit!!! I feel like I learn so much watching your races with the commentary! Keep them coming! Keeping me inspired and training hard!! #LEGION
Best combo of commentary and video you guys have produced. Amazing work.
OMG!!! This is one of the best cycling videos I have ever seen!!! Your editing and comments on strategy!!! And you guys won!!! That was AWESOME!!! Thank you so much 🙏
The communication you guys have is amazing. Truly shows how much of a family you guys are.
Hands down legion has been the greatest inspiration in cycling the past few years
That was probably the most physical race video you’ve posted... great strategy for dealing with a team of 11 riders who like elbows...
CycoWarriorx getting touchy is just part of racing at a higher level
White F350 lol... I see! Lol
Yeah they were respectful and they were conservative, no one wants to get hurt.
That last lead out man should have peeled off at 600m. You were on your own and they had two men to take the left line.
Good win
Commentary is dope. Y’all are an inspiration.
Love that you left the post-finish banter with KHS in here! Sportsmanship and commonality is so important for people to see in the racing scene! Nice win guys
I really enjoy the commentary on these videos. Incredible how talented you guys are at riding at such a quick pace.
Some Clarifications:
1st - Elevate Webiplex pro cycling had 8 riders at the race.
2nd - Our strategy was to wait for the sprint to practice our lead-out. We followed attack, never created them (explaining why the race was slower than the previous years).
3rd - What a killer sprint Justin, big congrats to LEGION.
I am confused. At 4:44 - 4:55 In that moment I can see 9 riders coming through
You guys showed up to a big race with 9 dudes to "practice"? Rightttttttt
@@elsunn Yes, it was close to our training camp, and it's pretty much the only race we do that is not UCI. So yeah I would say it's a practice race.
@@CodeBeetle We are only 9 riders in the team and Jordan Cheyne is Injured due to a punctured lung... So yeah we were only 8 racing, you can count again aha :)
PRO, does this mean that you are paid to race?
If your answer is yes then you got your asses kicked by an amateur team. Correct?
You guys have no idea how inspiring these videos are. Thank you
I got into cycling for my health and in the last year I've lost 40 lbs and absolutely love it. Now I find myself watching the races and absolutely blown away on how fucking entertaining they are! New sub, can't wait to watch past and future videos!
This is an excellent and much-appreciated commentary on strategy! Great to see the intensity and professionalism in your bunch. L39ion rocks! Congrats on the win!!
What a great commentary. You guys rock! Please keep these commentaries going as new racers like me learn a ton... Cheers!
7:30 selfless move was perfect for the team. Glad to see how nervous you made the pro team. Good job guys.
Just got into cycling and this video is epic. I love the commentary and comms skills between teammates, you guys are so dope! keep up the awesome work!
Awesome. Loved the commentary and how you could hear the race talk. Justin's positioning guidance. So cool. Also, would love to know the wattage bomb you dropped on that sprint Justin!
You guys are just bosses at what you do🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
thank you!

Like others have said, really love the commentary along with your usual quality video. Congrats on the win!
Once again. Great video. I really appreciate you guys breaking it down. I'm *REALLY* enjoying the action. THANK YOU!!!
As a cyclist who used to compete this video makes me feel like I'm riding with you guys great commentary.
That was excellent i'm new to cycling and just learning about the sport to come and hear you all explain the different techniques ya'll used to win that was amazing. I usually watch races and dont think nothing about it at all. But to see you all actually have a plan and ya'll are communicating that plan even during the race like to see that even elevate knew what ya'll were doing and they stuck to whatever their plans were that was amazing. I loved watching that.
Best video so far from you boys. Keep pumping out the content!! 🙏 Respect
Superb commentary, gripping race. Those 10 and a half minutes flew by.
That was so awesome!! Thanks for the effort you put into these video. Great job!!
Commentary over the video is great. Keep that up please. Heck of a race on y’all’s part. Well done!
Awesome race and great commentary/ explanation of the race. I will need to go see you guys race soon I hope.
Great commentary ! Also, loved when you wrote what you're saying during the race !
The addition of the commentary helps us noobs understand what is going on. Thanks a bunch. Keep rocking.
Incredible racing and thanks for all the good insight into how to race smart and respectfully while absolutely crushing out there. Congratulations!
What a fantastic 10 mins. an 33 seconds of commentary & race footage! TEAM LEGION BIG UP !
That was 10 min? Felt like 5.
This is insane. What a show of sportsmanship and respect. Well deserved win.

One of your best video's to date and congrats!!
This was an incredible win. The sacrifice to get you to the front and the sprint at the end. Awesome.
Amazing race techniques, and commentary! Your team is super legit.
You guys are freaking awesome! Got a new subscriber.
Awesome win guys, great footage too, great tactics and power.
It's really cool that you explain what is happening, why you do things, etc.
Love watching and listening to y'all. So intense. So wholesome too.
What a great race and beautiful explained, well done men.
Loving all the videos you are posting! :)
thank you!
BRO that was awesome!! Congrats!!
Great racing and commentary!
1:07 already walking my bike back to the start line after having an Elevate rider’s derailleur destroy my front wheel 😭 was hoping to be in your video lol. Watching from the finish line and seeing Justin post up and point at the logo on the jersey was pretty cool though.
I was keeping an eye out for you the whole time! Hope you make it into the next upload!
Can't wait to see you on more podiums, Kyle Cooper!
Ouch
Ya that was awesome. Great commentary and footy. Keep it up and post more stuff like this.
Damn! You guys have the perfect formula on breaking apart lead out trains and using it to your advantage. Incredible
very nervous video. Thanks, cool race and great comments!
great race guys, that was really well narrated too.
great insight on racing and etiquette, truly inspiring
I love how you giving directions calling the shots like captain America... love it. Organised and strategic..
Loved this video. Congratulations 👍🏽👍🏽😄👍🏽
Wow - that was incredible and pretty scary - great video and gave such insight to the tactics involved - i jut thought everyone just pedalled hard
Just got into road biking after being on a MTB for years. Love this stuff
cool race and good footage. Is it possible you guys could do a video on your training? Do you guys weight train as well in the off season? Am curious what goes on behind the scenes in order to compete at the elite level you do. Thanks guys!
Awesome video and commentary. Good efforts!
y’all are just solid guys man, top performance very nice!
Quality analysis, love watching them beat these guys!!!
This was absolutely epic! Learning so much. Legion is the truth!
Brilliant commentary, humble energy, and overwhelming dedication to your team! Love seeing y’all win.
My sentiments exactly!
The commentary is great. You may not have had the numbers but apparently they were still more worried about you than you were about them and if that didn't directly cost them the race it certainly still contributed to it.
Worshipping their own team calling it clean even they go into the way of others is what you call great commentary....
Amazing stuff guys, you really liven up the sport. We need this kind of racing, representation and teamwork in the UK (thanks British Cycling...).
Great Race Video!
Incredible job! Well done guys.
Thanks for the commentary!
Wow fantastic footage and comms
I am a cycling fan again now!!! I am so excited to learn about this team!!!
