Dude right! I was just coming into the comments to mention that. It's like bro, this isn't the TDF, also, even at that level they have designated zones for trash. So fuckin lame.
Cal Aggie/Landpark are both tricky for bigger riders. Scrubbing speed in "the nipple" then having to get back up to speed can be draining, and nimble skills in the corners (use easier gears thru the tight turns) is critical. Keep racing, you'll figure it all out. Just keep showing up, lining up with your number pinned on. Direct experience is so important in this sport. You'll know for sure when you look back from your 100th, 200th, 300th crit 👍 you're going great, EJ, so much growth in such a short amount of time 👏👏👏
Tyler is spot-on imo with his comments about Land Park. Adding on.. it's important to occupy any space that riders might come into on the wheel or space that you want. Keep your bars ahead of riders coming into gaps. I wouldn't recommend moving into other riders, but once you see a space a different rider can occupy, put yourself into that space in advance if that makes sense.
Damn. I like bikeracing, but the littering some of these guys are doing is really disturbing. Like... no effort whatsoever to put gel tearoffs in the pockets. Just straight on the road... That´s an immediate dq in the races i race. I get that shit happens, but not even trying is just disapointing
750W for 90 seconds after 4 hours of racing. Amazing all the talent on youtube videos who somehow never make it to the Worldtour. The pro's are so lucky they don't have to race the youtube legends.
I just found out about it 😂it was for crossing the double yellow on like lap 2. I got bumped over the line in the break. The moto came up to me, but I didn’t think much of it nor could I hear what he said. Tons of others did it (crossed over the double yellow) but only a couple of us got DQed. Definitely my mistake, but I feel as if you’re going to DQ you have to be consistent with the rule.
Land Park: Take the lead into the S turn so you have clean fast line; let up to 10 guys swamp you; top 10 through last turn; follow wheels up to last 200m and sprint. Voila.
Good content! Could you please remove the .x behind the RPM? And I think it shows average now, might be better to show the actual values so you see more clearly when you stop peddaling and when you start again
Pretty boring always hearing Tyler either talking about how he thinks all the other riders expect him to do all the work, or that he doesn't care about the race and just wants it to be a training ride. 2cool2care.
EJ, I think it would be fantastic to watch you and your favorite cyclists put together an IndieVelo online race event! The race videos are 10/10, but unattainable for a lot of us. I would appreciate seeing some more online racing and IndieVelo is the most realistic racing platform out there. George, the creator of IndieVelo, would be more than happy to help, I’m certain of it. Worth considering?
no hate but the technical skills you still need to work on could have been learned at lower cats instead of focusing on moving up to cat 1 as fast as possible!
It just looks like you aren't locking onto any wheels in the key moments of the races, you need to lock the wheel in front of you and if necessary steal the wheel from the rider next to you who wants it.
Might be the camera but you for sure have a big problem following wheels. Like 7:21 ish when the mike bikes rider blocks you all of a sudden its getting real important to move back up, but you need to be thinking which wheel is going to move me back up, and be prepared to take it.
metric is the universal cycling language, and now you are speaking it.
Dude on dolce vita with the mechanical set up and mismatched water bottles is my new favorite rider. a man of the people!
Dont listen to the comments, KPH is way to go :D
12:25 shoutout to the guy that littered in the race - come on man!
Dude right! I was just coming into the comments to mention that. It's like bro, this isn't the TDF, also, even at that level they have designated zones for trash. So fuckin lame.
For reals I see people do that all the time in rides. Just don’t tear the tab all the way so it all stays intact. It’s pretty simple.

Nice job EJ. It was cool to meet you in person too.

Do you believe you let your personal dealings affect the way you rode the road race? Great video EJ!
Yes 😂
Never clicked a video so fast!
750W for 90 seconds after 4 hours of racing. Amazing all the talent on youtube videos who somehow never make it to the Worldtour. The pro's are so lucky they don't have to race the youtube legends.
i don’t really know too much about this but the pros are still pros, they’re just too good…
he was joking@@filgiupo4853
how much do you weigh EJ? Just curious for watts/kg. I am sure it was high. I did these same races at 63-65kg with power around 250 260
He's around 80kg last time he mentioned it. He's definitely built like a sprinter.
Yeah about 79kg right now
ahh yea a big boi haha. I was 63kg when I raced. full climber mode haha@@Ejstrainingcamp
Bariani is such a great course for you!!! 👍👍👍
It was so fun!
750 for 90 seconds after 4 hours the pros really are built different
He's insane...
Any plans to cross over into other disciplines like XC MTB and gravel?
Maybe 🤔
the THR family is looking forward to seeing you next month in Newport News, VA.
I can’t wait!
Ordered my Kav and was just offered the free upgrade to the special secret one, gonna be a wait but I'm stoked.
Heck yeah!!!
Alto Velo guy's mullet is beautiful
David also went cat 5 to 1 in a single season a couple years ago... monster.
Are you going to address your DQ at Bariani in a future video?

@@Ejstrainingcamp Been there, done that 😉
@@Ejstrainingcampyou can only use one half of the road??
Comi’on man KM/H??? We’re in Merica 🇺🇸

Good presentation!
what kind of beef do you have with your former boss?
How do you deal with pissing/toilet in a 100 mile fast race?
get your weener out of your pants and you pee while going 😂

Thumbs up!
👍
1st! Great to see you guys head to head!
More to come! Racing against each other this weekend yet again!
who won?
I totally forgot to say David won for Alto Velo at Landpark! He is a beast!
Any reason you and Tyler race solo instead of teaming up with each other?
🐐
Are you the same guy that had the long blonde hair when you were a cat 4?
Yup!
💯

No you’re 110% correct. I definitely need to work on this!
Yo! As they say in South Philly. You didn't knock your old boss on his ass? Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
"Old boss"... jabs.
Do mph
🤡
do both? like NorCal Cycling :)
having both like Brian too would be cool
having both like Brian too would be cool
switch from km/h to mph😅
🤡
both is the optionnnn
