Jeff: Consistency is efficiency Also Jeff: Watch me do 1000 watts out of every corner

@poxm 2 жыл бұрын

If you do 1000 watts every corner everytime then it's consistent. Sometimes we need higher consistency

I'd be interested to have Sam back in the commentary box! His insight/footage seem extremely legit. Keep up the great work Jeff!

I am a certified Specialized Retul bike fitter I first met Sam at Specialized headquarters in 2008 he taught my product class learning sales techniques it was a great class. Back then he was doing downhill mtn bike stuff. in the words of Chubbs from Happy Gilmore "I am glad you gave that shit up and concentrated on golf" lol COngrats by the way! Andy must have done one hell of a fit on you.

Top notch - NCC. Sam commentary easily welcome another time. When I see these videos I regret that I didnt go to a cycling club at 18 y.o. Back thenI could do two hours of gymnastic and 20 k cycling back and forth. I went overseas and kinda never did a workout again. Im in a couch at 36 watching youtube and dreaming about cycling. :) Even couch to crit dreaming.

Great video as per usual. Crit racing in the US is comedy. Amateur events with teams of 8 billion riders. It's fundamentally broken. Obviously, the bigger team wins. Why on Earth don't the organizers drastically restrict the team numbers? It seems ridiculous overkill at an amateur level. Pro team beats solo soccer dad... heroic.
