I'm liking this Steven guy. Cheap frame, cheap wheels, blowing the doors off a lot of folks. Probably needs better tactics though.

Stephen is strong af in a break. He won once on Thurs with 4 to go when Jeff wasn't out there .

Great commentary and tips guys. Just a thought, would you consider making the rear camera into a mirror image? So it's like a looking in a car's rear view mirror. It makes it a lot easier to keep track of who is on your left/right

Jeff, can you PLEASE add temp to your template? I'd love to see what NorCal guys (who in this video are in full leggings and gloves to nothing but kit) wear at what temps. hahaha.

I remember the Trainerroad podcast episode where they discussed "the sprinters gap". Small gap such that when you snap and go you pass with a good speed differential such that they cannot jump right into your wheel. Great video once again, keep them coming.

How do you do traffic on the roads that are used. I see parked cars that you have to negotiate and cars driving on the other side of the road. The only barrier for the cars on the other side of the road is some lines painted on the road. all of the racing done here in Australia have close to all traffic roads.

The corner after the start/finish. There’s a stop light and what looks to be live traffic. Does traffic ever interfere on this course?

@NorCalCycling 4 жыл бұрын

@newyorkperson 4 жыл бұрын

None the less fair amount of live cars out there and sometimes a car pops out around the mostly blind corner by the residential houses. I can think of some hometown group rides out in the country where we were hated. Interesting to see what is essentially a race ride crit not be questioned by the city.

@l.d.t.6327 3 жыл бұрын

I won't say you guys can't race, but honestly, when I see those speeds around 30km/hr at almost every lap, soft pedalling, and I hear you suggesting that's the moment to escape without too much effort... That won't ever work in Europe where criteriums are always hard and there are never any breaks from having to squeeze out at least 250W or more. You don't get this kind of free rides over here.

@DeeNogger1 4 жыл бұрын

Can you describe the course? You guys are ripping through stop lights and into full lanes of traffic without (I assume) worry of there being a car in the lane. Is this a semi-controlled traffic area at the time of the races or... whats the deal?

This racer is a very deluded individual with the good fortune of a huge sprinters kick. He owes that Steven a few beers for his last tow. And a shame Steven didn't give him a bigger "punch in the gut" when he went past and made him chase back on harder for his wheel

@5speed735i 4 жыл бұрын

You can see Steven's frustration at 11:28 to 11:32. He's probably thinking, "Why didn't you take another pull? We could have carried this to the end, , now look, the whole group caught us!" I noticed that the narrator only takes pulls on the downwind section...oh well, all's fair in love and racing, I guess.
