Yea I thought that

from my crash I learned the word accident was used so repeatedly by lawyers to try and remove blame from the driver at fault. I called it an accident and my lawyer said "no it was a crash and the driver was at fault, he could have avoided it."

On the news, they don't call them accidents anymore.

If someone says they are hit by a car they mean they are hit by a person driving a car, no one thinks they are blaming the car. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

@@tjtennisicmroll2kyou would be surprised as to how human psychology works.

​@@tjtennisicmroll2k You're wrong. Thats not how the wording works. Hit by a vehicle(cyclist at fault). Vehicle hits cyclist(driver at fault). Big difference. Responsibility lies with both the driver AND the vehicle in incidents involving pedestrians or cyclists. Some kids are run over in the parking lot or drive way BECAUSE of the vehicle being too big to see them. Even if the driver backing up is extra cautious they can't see what they can't see. Factors like vehicle's size and visibility collectively influence road safety, it's not just the driver's actions. Thats like this talk of firearms being not at fault for all the mass shootings but they're used and people want to deny responsibility of such a tool being attributed to all that tragedy. Ted talk huh? 🤣

If they have a salary they are professionals

@@duartemateus4145 I don't understand the point of this comment. Are you trying to correct me even though you're going even further than me against the title? Either way it's just a joke man.

⁠@@_Tp__for sure he doesn't know how to take jokes

Fortunately it did. However, if you say that you will do a leadout for your sprinter and then sprint for yourself - I'd question Sean's ability to work for the team. Cycling is a team sport and for me, if you act as a team member but then play for yourself, I'd not like to have such person as a team mate. Imagine a situation where Sean is a tyre length behind Luke - you get no win, your team mate fkd up his job and overall situation is far from optimal. This is my take on it. Nevertheless, happy that TMB took the win.

Yeah I agree. I thought Sean was going to lead Ryan out but I guess he never got a chance to get in front of Ryan to pull for him so he chose the next best thing.

Absolutely! Attack him whenever you can and don't let up. 8 to 1? It can be done.

Well, as Sean was 2 wheels behind him all that time, that was clearly a lead out. Just see how many watts during the last lap cost him to start his own sprint. Plus, it's not this chris guy but actually the strongest rider in TMB Ryan, respect it man.

The final 2 corners had Jack, Gavin, Ryan (not Chris) and then Sean+Luke. It was supposed to be Sean in front of Ryan, but for whatever reason that didn't happen. Ryan did what he needed to do in that situation.

that was Ryan and there was a touch of sarcasm there as I believe he was the protected sprinter without his final leadout man and he ended up leading out the sprint. Just a guess:)

28-30mm claimed (30-32mm WAM) is very common in the NorCal scene. We race on some pretty bad roads.

in the video he said the high rise buildings make for some GPS glitches

They are aero socks. They save 5 watts. Tour riders wear them also. It's not about fashion, it's about performance.

@@roadcyclist1 Five watts! That's incredible! Clearly it's not about fashion, but thanks for your reply.

I didn’t have the results sheet in front of me while doing the commentary so I also used the eyeball test and thought I was around 20th, later found was 24th. Wouldn’t call it an untrue statement just a best guess, but kind of irrelevant anyway bc I just gave up with about a half lap to go like I said in the commentary. You’re looking at the wrong race.
