Nice job! I raced the 2/3 and this course was a real struggle. Hard to show just how narrow it felt through these corners. I got dropped like 15 minutes in because I lined up too far back and didn't push my way up right away. Those 1000w+ efforts every lap through the final corner really destroy the legs! Appreciate the tips, just wish I had this video to watch before I lined up 🙃

Dipping into an old one. You mention keeping a relaxed grip on the bars. It's so important, and not just for racing. Gripping too tightly is one factor involved in speed wobbles. It's also a waste of energy.

Try in out in ( as mountainbikers do) . In The Netherlands we ride many fast technical crits. As many of the crits have a length of only 1 or 1,5 km and on narrow roads I often corner in out in. leave a small gap on the rider in front of you. The advantages are thatyou block the rider behind you when you turn in.......than steer out and steer in which gives you the advantage to corner in a strate line which then gives you the chance to pass the rider in front of you on the following strate as. Do it without braking.....it works 😀

@austinarseo5343 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Jeff - another great vid. When letting those small gaps open as entering a corner, do you notice riders behind you taking advantage to slot up? I.e. putting in a dig to get up to you before entering the corner (thereby reducing you line choices) then filling the gap before you can close it back down? Maybe this is a function of the overall pace of the race, but as a Cat 4 I felt like I had to be glued to the wheel in front of me, including through corners, to avoid falling back by attrition. (I'm a 3 as a few days ago, woo hoo.) Thanks!

Nice finish, good honest review. You might consider cropping out a collection of _The Good, The Bad & The Ugly_ of certain aspects you want to highlight (e.g. cornering, passing, lead-outs). Even the best have an off-day, so hopefully no one takes offense.

@helicart 3 жыл бұрын

You left out a critical tip for faster cornering - drafting a good rider. It gets you through the corner safer and with less energy expenditure....and is an opportunity to accelerate out of the corner harder and overtake. For such a fast race, you needed to move up towards the end of the third last and beginning of second last lap, when the pace dropped. I was surprised with your experience, you didn't respond. Such a critical time in the race, and JRL!

when I was a new cat4 I lined up at the local training crit and a cat3 from my club lined up with us. I didn't know him- he had taken a break from racing and was just coming back. I introduced myself as we warmed up. Mid race he was up alongside me on the inside and signaled me to follow. I hopped on his wheel and we took off through the start/finish. As we came up on the first turn I noticed he was hugging the inside line, and I knew how this worked by now- he'd start inside and drift out, so I would swing outside before the corner so that I could dive under him in the corner and then take my pull coming out of the corner. So I swung wide on the approach, and he went [FWIP] right around the corner and never swung wide and suddenly I was 4 or 5 bike lengths off his wheel. That's when I knew there was a better way to get around a corner.

Hey, love your videos and content. I'm just wondering what you meant at 13:20 when you referred to those two riders as "getting sketchy/pulling off/ they did their work"? Are you basically saying they were off the front at one point but couldn't maintain that energy to finish strong? I'm new to cycling and racing, thanks!

@williamryan8841 Жыл бұрын

2 years late but in case someone else wonders: pretty sure he means people whose role in the team was to go as fast as they could a bit before the end and let their teammate draft behind them. So they will tire out 100% before the race is done, but set up their teammate to have a good finish. Sort of like a booster rocket for the team’s sprinter.

@@NorCalCycling Thanks for the quick response, newbee question: how do you train or know your zones with a max heart rate that changes based on your freshness, or do you use power only?

@NorCalCycling 4 жыл бұрын

power only. HR is not as good for training because it varies quite a bit by fatigue, and it's delayed with respect to the effort. Do a hard 20 second effort, power will match that effort, but your HR will have a big delay, for example.

@NorCalCycling 4 жыл бұрын

You can use both to determine fitness, it's called hear rate drift. HR by itself is not very useful, but power by itself is very useful. hope that makes sense.

I don't know man I have a feeling you could have moved up 10 places in the last lap if you didn't coast into those last corners and really pushed your front wheel into the inner line. Ok and maybe cause a crash and/or get a beating afterwards but given how experienced your competition is, a little body contact thru the corner would have been fine. Might be the European in me talking right now lol
