Damn, Ryan smashed it without getting a leadout, incredible win
Ryan recognise Ryan
Ryan is his own leadout
Thanks for coming out, and HUGE thanks to Mike's Bikes for title-sponsoring the race!! We're thrilled to keep bringing back the race!!! (I'm the race director.) Awesome racing!
Thanks for keeping this tradition alive. Anyone and everyone who knows NorCal racing has participated in Cat's Hill Criterium
*Now that is teamwork. literally the whole team sacrificed themselves for the sprinter.*
Such an unselfish group of guys!
My roommate did that race back in the 80s. Pulled her foot out of her shoe on the Cats hill sat in the middle of the road and put her shoe on remounted and won the race.
Ryan does his own lead-out. Just get him in contention for the last km. Incredible stuff. Congrats to Team Mike's Bikes.
I put my hamster in a sock and slammed it against the furniture
Tobin put in an absolute awesome effort. Hard to believe that he was on front from beginning to just shy of the end.
Thats an awesome win, the fact that it took the entire team and the whole race to bring back that one rider is insane
That crashed rider at the end looked like he was going straight into a post! I hope he is ok!
The guy who clipped his pedal posted his video up.
I watched the video from another rider, he didn't hit the pole, but he hit the tree full body hugged it. th-cam.com/video/wg9J95f44XI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JonWells
Josh Carling. Broken collarbone
Kudos to Sean! Kid got some serious power!
Jeff on a Cervelo? Video needed!
I’m not one to enter crits nor enjoy the crashing aspect of it but I love how detailed you are in your videos!! Keep it going!
3:05 I almost got taken out there in the rear cam, ended up jumping onto the sidewalk and rolling it out...
Been following this channel for a while. Quality of content is phenomenal. Great job lads!
As always thanks for posting! I always learn something in every video. "drink ketones" is what I learned in this one 🤣
EJ would’ve loved this course. Big power every lap!
The match factory meets the wall.
🤣🤣🤣 just a crazy thought… have you ever done a video on how to pin a number on… 😂
I'm from Los Gatos but I moved out to Colorado two years ago and have since been watching all your NorCal crit videos. Nostalgic to watch this as I recognize every part of the course. Great video !
That post up at the end was sick. Live gnarly team mikes bikes
Nice to see this race hasn’t changed and continues to this day!
Switched to cervelo?
Yep
01:49
Makes sense given the acquisition
Eagle eye
What a legend, this is the content we subscribe for.
Is Sean's heart ok after that?!
Also sweet Cervelo!
His max HR is like 215+, I think Jeff has another video on it. Insane!
@@jameswojno1216 Absolutely insane. If I see 190+ on my Wahoo, I'll be throwing up on the side of the road very soon lol
@@GarinHatch because everyone's max hr is different, there are many pro tour riders with max bpm around 160-170 e.g. Froome's max hr is about 170 something
@@xVertOx Very familiar with how bodies are different. Sean's is high and was fun to comment on.
he gets it from his Mom ❤
One of the Mike's Bikes guys, I think it was Ryan, came past me and just blazed off into the sunset at like 6w/kg consistent on Zwift about a month or two ago. I had just been bumped up to CatB and was ripping along on my TT bike feeling fast... until that moment, lol. Beast of a rider, congrats Mike's Bikes, taking the W in that field was no joke!
damn. That got my heart pumping just sitting here in front of my computer! Well done to all!
since when you're riding a Cervélo? did I see right?
love the footage and the play by play. thanks!!!
Teamwork Masterclass fro Jeff 👏👏
It's great how ryan has the 53t to smash it on the down hills, definitely an overlooked bike hack
Total animal... he then attacked the breakaway at Murrieta and stayed away solo a week later. Killing it.
I love watching guys climb a 20+% grade 30 times...from my home...in FLORIDA. We feel like we're climbing the Alpe d'Huez if we're over 5%! Great vid though and another great win for Ryan.
Hey Jeff, love your videos. I’ve been waiting for this video to drop, Thank you. Looking forward to more!!
Hi Jeff big fan of your channel, I participated in a cycling study on ketones and one thing I can tell you for sure is you do not want to take them before a race, but after! It helps recovery and much more, but the researchers were always laughing with people that took them before the race, just a little tip.
Brilliant teamwork
I don't race yet but I have been 8:49 a LOT :D
Loved that! Getting better and better at the commentary/narrative of the race. There should be more crits with short steep climbs
Awesome! I miss going to this race. It was my goal just to finish it, but I was unable in 3 tries. So impressive to see this from the perspective of P/1/2. That pavement is so irregular drafting is very tricky. You all are very brave. kudos
What a race! Congrats to Ryan and the whole Mike's Bikes team. Big win!
I'm racing my first crit tonight and my hb is in zone 4 already after watching this video :o
Wonderful team effort, I really prefer to watch crits rather than pro tour. Shows how much team work and strategy is important in cycling
I raced this many times, many years ago. The last race I broke an early carbon bar on the climb! Tough crit but super fun.
So after all that, where did Tobin end up finishing?
Hey Jeff, what happened to the giant? Has Mikesbikes switched to cervelo?
I think they swap their bike every year? Like Jeff wasn't getting another tarmac after his crash
Yes. on Cervelo. I can testify Sean loves his.🚲💌
Lol Eamon Lucas lived here in Belgium! Saw him at some races :)
Wayne Stetina in front of Lemond in old photo📸
Now that brought back some memories for sure. Exciting race
Sick to watch, but definetly the last crit i would enter with 100kg+ and close to 200cm tall. 😄
Absolute top Content! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great positioning, sprint for the last corner, crazy strong = easy victory.
What a boss finish
Ryan is a total beast!
That Cervelo areo probably saved you some watts over the Giant.
scary with the trees just off the gutter !
What a back to back win! Ryan is a beast.
Awesome race
Great race💪
What a race, awesome work 👏🏼
Dude Ryan is such a beast
That first picture of Stars and Stripes is Wayne Stetina, not LeMond
Quinn is a stud, remember when we used to race Cat 4's together
Early af! Gotta go to work but I'll definitely tune in during my break
Did I miss you walking us through the new bike?
I was waiting for this so I can watch Chainless TVs video about it.
Great stuff
Aren't we going to talk about the bikes you guys were riding?
I traveled from Texas once to do this race. I really get the bike handling mistakes we see in the video; hardest crit I've ever done and it's really hard to keep focus in all the pain...
Did you guys swap down to the small ring on the climb or just smash it in the big ring.
Is the team all riding Cervelo bikes this year? Would be interested in a video of everyone’s setup
yeah, I see all cervelos 😍
Lactigo is my go too. I feel a difference when I don't use it
More money in your pocket? 😉
oh wow, u guys on Cervelo now? nice.
team sponsor changed to cervelo?
Plans to race in Austin, Texas? Driveway series is every Thursday night
Taking crazy risk racing for parking lot KOMs. Every crit ever. Circuit races should be held more than crits for this very reason.
Would Ryan be down to give us info on his training?🤣 absolute beast
Sweet race
The moment I tried to check the time between breakaway and peloton on the left top corner of the screen...
cyclocross racer going off the front first lap sounds about right
My heart rate went up, watching this…
Good stuff!
Damn Legion got worked.
What a ripper!
Hey new bike? Cervélo. Are you making a video showing it off?
*Superb*
We need a new bike breakdown!
Sick video
Woah new bike Jeff! Will we be getting a bike review soon??
DANG! Good Smart racing!
@2:01 looks like David Hasselhoff
A bit more about ketones: the effect of ketones is massivly overrated by a lot of people in the sport. Most of your body's organs can mainly use carbohydrates and fats as a source of energy. (and in case of these two nearly running out, there is a way of converting proteins to a source of energy, but this is not relevant here). During an effort, say for instance a cycling race, your muscle's will mainly be using carbohydrates as an energy source. sounds familiar right? the thing is, your brain is a bit of a different organ. It can solely use carbohydrates as an energy source, and not fats or even proteins in the form of amino acids. But when your body has run out, or is very low on carbohydrates, that technically means your brain cells would die of because they don't have an energy source. The body has a way of preventing/prolonging this: ketones. they are made in the liver from free fatty acids (fat) and are able to pass trough the blood-brain barries (unlike fats) and thus are able to compensate a bit for the lack of carbohydrates. The aim in using ketones in cycling, is to fuel your brain on ketones, subsequently leaving more carbohydrates for the muscles to use. however, we cant tell our brain to ONLY use ketones, and not carbohydrates, so as long as there are carbohydrates (which every racing cyclist ingests before and during a race) they will also be used by the brain. so technically ketones will give your body a tiny bit more energy, but the effect is really minimum, especially for the price of them compared to carbohydrate sources. Even in top tier world tour teams like Jumbo Visma, only their top athletes get them in certain races, because the price just doesn't wheigh up to the gain in performance.
Interesting to see you on a Cervelo S5! has the team bike changed for this season?
great video as always.
If there’s a hill, can you shade it in on the map or something? Thanks
When did Cervelo happen?
We gonna talk about the secret switch from the Giant TCR to the cervello??
Cerveloooooo!
Please, a WarmUp Crit Video 🙏🏼
So fast 🔥🔥🔥
watt bombs droppin everywhere...nice team effort vid. congrats on the win.
Great race! I am going to be honest with you, usually i fall asleep watching your races videos. But not this time! Awesome
Climbing? must be a late april fools' joke 😂
I Spy Jeff on a cervelo!!!
Hey, is that Iman that was in another video of a couple of years ago? The calves carved from stone dude?
패드빕숏 5부 입었네요 뒤패드 빵뎅이 거길 스팀다리미로 스팀치이익 다려드릴까요
Are we not going to discuss that the team is on Cervelo? 👀
