Obviously I can’t give these videos enough praise- you do such a great job with everything! It would be awesome if you could list weather info at the beginning or something. I think having temp, humidity, and wind would add more interesting context.
As someone who is just getting into cycling and doesn't know much about racing, I find these very insightful and entertaining to watch. Definitely motivates me to want to push myself harder on the road and one day maybe even get into racing myself. The commentary is 👌🏻
I can here Chris on your first attempt “y’all better go get him or this race is over”. Then he used same tactics against you and you burned some matches to chase him back. Then Chris used his big FTP perfectly. Another great video. Thanks.
Man the way you explain the tactics makes me feel like going out and do the same!! Then I remember that I actually do not own a nice road bike and then go back to my beer XD
Your end analysis on what to improve is totally accurate, you should not have taken that pull at threshold HR assuming he'll play nice. Cool ride and analysis as always.
you start to "sprint" on 170 bpm, that's so high. You rode your sprints in your chases, which are very impressive! Anyway nice race, and always interesting to see your vids!
Jeff when he’s racing: so I was thinking that I should make him chase and I’ll sit on his wheel Me when racing: GO GO GO, don’t get dropped, don’t get dropped 😂😂
Can you ride the "Roasters Ride" that starts from the south east side of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco? I used to ride it years ago and would be rad to see you both rock it.
WoW Chris got you... I'm glad i found your channel, just enjoying your vids lately.. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights! Seems like a lot of fun.. i just (re-)started cycling half a year ago..after i paused for like 7 years. Now im 30... i thought about doing some crit racing. is it too late to join? I'm currently training about 9-12 hours a week (Zwift, Commute, Outdoor). I started at 104kg back in November, now i'm at 80kg. My FTP is around 280/290watts. My Max Power output on Zwift was 1s ~1250w 5s ~1050, 15s ~ 900... havent tried the all out sprint outside yet... Will it be enough to join that late and have some fun in lower cats?
Very interesting. thanks! Great to watch. But so many high bursts of watts! So inefficient. Can you compare Chris's Wattage over time chart to Yours? That would tell an accurate story of the race
Entertaining video as always, thanks. You said it was a bad idea to sit back in Chris's draft and make him work, but then showed the race-winning move came after you took a pull. What would be the disadvantage to doing no work at all once it was just you and Chris?
"Why wouldn't I sit in his draft and force him to do all the work? That's a mistake and we'll find out why in a minute..." *Gets attacked from behind after doing a pull for him* ????
I'm curious about whether it would have been better to let Chris go solo and chase with the break group toward the end? Or is that basically conceding the race earlier?
“Teleported across the gap.” As someone who was in that break. ... I felt that.
I thought your profile pic was a hair on my screen...
@@dominicng1437 ew, you don’t use dark mode? LOL
Jeff: My goal is to get Chris to chase.
Chris : Reverse Uno Card
Too true 😭
Never get tired of the chest cam
So immersive init
plus that clean aerofly cockpit mmmmmm
You have to get Chris on to talk about this race. Both you and he together are Podcast Gold.
So this was Chris's tutorial 'How to Beat Jeff' 😲. He completely nailed it. 👏
Chris legit just casually rolled up and said what’s up bro
Love how fair and honest you are in these. Great vid as always!
7:10 Chris looking buff as hell
Tried to make my last video in a similar style to yours, every time I watch one of these the quality blows me away Jeff!
Hey Jeff today i raced at a local crit here in my country Angola it was a really good race and i made a video i will send you
Please do. It is so refreshing seeing footage from other countries.
Exactly... stay teammates 😄. It's good to get another perspective. Great video.
Obviously I can’t give these videos enough praise- you do such a great job with everything! It would be awesome if you could list weather info at the beginning or something. I think having temp, humidity, and wind would add more interesting context.
Love seeing you and Chris go at eachother. It would be scary to watch you two just team up and destroy the entire field.
I doubt I'll ever race a criterium (don't have the endurance or power), but your videos and commentary have got me interested. Nice stuff!
Imagine being so confident in your team's ability to win that you f*ck around like this and still win anyway.
Such a flex.
Don't chase your teammates...even when they aren't really your teammates.
or never chase anyone xD let somebody else chase haha

Chris is a beast! 🔥
As always great content Jeff, gave the perfect start to my day.
Back to the time when Jeff was still at Terun and Chris was his enemy
exactly haha just like old times

I really learn a lot from your videos and I thank you for your content.
Great race!
Love the friend/competitiveness
Damn i love this ! I'm only riding a dozen of kilometers a week, but still i'm hooked !
Great sprint, great video!
380 watts is a comfortable effort is insane.
Comfortable may not have been the right word, but sustainable yes
Dude that was awesome - great commentary.
Jheeze just watching this made my legs hurt. Great vid as always!
There needs to be a term for when Chris rode through you guys like you were dead, I think he Swayze'd you (Ghost)
also known as a Linda Rondstadt....blew by you
For 10 minutes, I did not notice the color of your bike, I like it.
OMG, did some of these rides a few years ago, coming from NASA Ames. Really brutal effort on my part just to hang on!
gotta say, I've never ridden in teams like this and it looks very fun! great video!
you start to "sprint" on 170 bpm, that's so high. You rode your sprints in your chases, which are very impressive! Anyway nice race, and always interesting to see your vids!
I used to run for quite some time at 204 bpm max
Oh my goodness me...mad respect to the big guy in the red and black kit...are you serious man:) so cool
I had fun watching this. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Finally got some great competition there
Finally a new upload!!!
More are coming thanks for your patience
Jeff when he’s racing: so I was thinking that I should make him chase and I’ll sit on his wheel
Me when racing: GO GO GO, don’t get dropped, don’t get dropped 😂😂
Thank you for the awesome vids! Yeah, team work, go with that!
im a mountain biker but that stem combined with the bars and no cables look so sick
Yess!!
Great content as always! I always preferred chest cams.
What aero cockpit are you using?
Sworks aerofly 2
Is this the only race they do at Alviso? Or do they have ones for slower/less experienced riders too?
one of your best videos
dude your videos make my day
This was probably the most fun I've had listening to a race narrative. :)
Can't believe i haven't subscribed already, i watched all your vids!
Can you ride the "Roasters Ride" that starts from the south east side of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco? I used to ride it years ago and would be rad to see you both rock it.
what streets do you race on in Alivso?
first -> grand -> disk -> nortech, i used to cycle down disk/first on some of my routes when i lived closer
@@kenmei18 Thank you.
The guy in the stars and stripes jersey had a frame pump on his bike? 8:07
What do you use to get the wind direction telemetry?
Does "STOP" signs only apply to motor vehicles in Alviso ?
WoW Chris got you...
I'm glad i found your channel, just enjoying your vids lately..

Don't pull turns with Chris on your wheel. Just sit on Chris's wheel and let him take you into the sprint.
Chris won't let that happen. You sit hell just keep attacking
@@chriswitek9455 yeah well if your a sprinter and you can’t hold his wheel then your not strong enough to win. Simple as that 🤷♂️
Nevermind his 400 W FTP, why we sleeping on Chris's kit? Damn it's nice!
Man! The camera quality!
Love the chest cam!! Anyways, you were prob nervous racing with Chris that you forgot your own strategy or changing the strategy as you go.
Very interesting. thanks! Great to watch. But so many high bursts of watts! So inefficient. Can you compare Chris's Wattage over time chart to Yours? That would tell an accurate story of the race
How do you put how many meters left in dashware or what not ?
what made you go with etap instead of di2?
How do you mount the camera during the race? Are you using a chest mount? Isn't it uncomfortable?
My hero Ricardo!!!
holy moly. good sprint
nice race! congrats cris:)
How do you guys avoid traffic? Looks like an open road with a ton of ran lights.
How do you get this view on the GoPro. Care to share good sir?
Is there similar quality channel crosscountry instead ?
Entertaining video as always, thanks. You said it was a bad idea to sit back in Chris's draft and make him work, but then showed the race-winning move came after you took a pull. What would be the disadvantage to doing no work at all once it was just you and Chris?
I explain this at the end of the video
Sick Video!
that loop looks like insane fun
When do the climbs begin??
Good job mate! Which gears are u riding in? I wished we had crit races in SG...
"Why wouldn't I sit in his draft and force him to do all the work? That's a mistake and we'll find out why in a minute..."
*Gets attacked from behind after doing a pull for him*
????
Totally. Why wouldn’t you just sit in?
why so much space behind the wheel?
how do you measure the watts and BPM?
Loved this one
can anyone explain how they driving trough red lights? Is it legal in california or is the road closed off?
How hard do you have to train to compete in that race?
Is an hour of fast riding a day enough?
Awesome race.
dude, how are you so good at cycling and still have big arms?
jealous ^^
Chris looks like a BEAST! ;)
380 NP for 20 minutes! Ouch.
Well, nobody expected Chris to chase you down because nobody knew you didn’t race as teammates ;-)
Are all crit circuits flat? Or are there some that feature steep climb(s) where lighter guys could stand a chance?
Yes we have hilly crits too, I actually prefer them
I'm curious about whether it would have been better to let Chris go solo and chase with the break group toward the end? Or is that basically conceding the race earlier?
Ya maybe. I thought about that option after. Hindsight is 20 20
That dude with the blue gloves, what gloves are those?
What bike does he ride?
Can someone tell me what Jersey and shorts Chris is wearing?? Cheers!!
rapha, i think it's the pro team aero line
@@NorCalCycling thanks Jeff!
why did you take lead when you caught up to chris?
Hi, nice video as always! What's Chris average when he is doing solo after he dropped you?
I wanna see Chris's footage and commentary for this race. lol
You riding last year’s SL7?
Jeff what software do you use for video overlays ?
I made a video about this topic check out my channel
can we see the strava of the ride?
What is your meal / nutrition before races? Any SiS?
I made a video specifically about this topic a couple months back. Cheers!
What bike is this?
Oh thats my friend Super Dave Koesel ..Local Legend of Orange County.
