IT HAS EVERYTHING! shitty equipment, check. Rapha gear, check, weird chasing teammates, check, unclipped pedal during last lap, check, weird crash early, check, stupid crash late, check. FULL FIELD CAT 5 SALUTE!

@sknkwrksowner 3 жыл бұрын

true, but gotta start somewhere. smh Hopefully folks will learn from watching some of these races. Jeff should do a CAT4/5 review a week along with his P/1/2 stuff. That way folks would cut down on brain fail mistakes trying to "look pro".

@tedhorwitz430 3 жыл бұрын

@@williambob111 Good question. There's no guarantee the break would fall apart and you don't want your rider taking chances as 1 of 6. Therefore, as the teammate in the field, there's only a short window of time to decide whether you're going to let that break go up the road, hitch a ride to bridge up, chase it down, etc. Better to not leave it to chance and just bridge up or shut it down. If your goal as a team is a break, better to attack the field one hundred times until you get the break you want then just have hopes your guy will win in a large break.
