@@turtleshatz It's an acceptable amount of risk for all the contestants, they get to choose. The construction workers don't. And getting blindsided by five grown men at 40k/h will absolutely land you in the hospital, so the risk is real.

@@TheXtrafresh Still rather get hit by a troupe of cyclists than a car, and the road was still open to cars. As long as the racers aren't racing within the coned-off areas, I'd argue that the construction workers weren't in any more danger than they would have been otherwise.

@TheXtrafresh 4 ай бұрын

@@turtleshatz are you a racer? The reason that racing isn't done just anywhere is specifically so you can responsibly take risks. And while this is a weekly training crit, and not the Tour, a race is a race, and people WILL take risks. You can see a big attack leave through the coned area in the first minutes.

i can totally understand the desire to get away sooner rather than later. The road conditions make a HUGE difference for racing and riding.

I'm just wondering how they even got people to work on the roads. Here in Kansas we going backwards. more gravel, less pavement because they can't pay workers enough so there are none

Most of times I've gone out back in 13'-14', it was almost always under some type of construction or pothole heaven😅. I raced on Alto Velo back then and would frequently do Noon Ride and Spectrum. Good times.

That seemed like unnecessary contact by Timmy. He leaned his upper body way over to the left. It's not so easy to tell from the video, maybe the other guy drifted a bit to the right as he was trying to stay on the pink jersey's wheel. Would be interested to hear your take on that contact?

@tueighty 5 ай бұрын

Normally I love your videos Jeff - but you all can, and should have moved this Alviso to another date. Its already bad enough you just do these practice races on un-closed roads with normal traffic around. All those road workers already have enough of a dangerous and difficult job to do. Your bicycles flying past at 20+ MPH and weaving in and out of the cones to make your passes is just plain rude, and dangerous. You have a responsibility to promote safe and fun cycling for all because you reach so many. And this isn't it man. Do better.

For crissake…the comments here reek of your typical California safetyism gone off the deep end. These are P 1 2 riders who have all ridden this course hundreds of times and could probably ride it in their sleep. No one is being disrespectful or rude to the work crew. They all know and recognize the road hazards on this day. Another great video Jeff 👍
