Phase II | Ep. 4 | The Last Chance
Episode 4: The finale is here as we arrive in Bentonville, AR for the final race of the Lifetime Grand Prix season as well as Phase II. Here at Big Sugar, the year of learning and growing comes to a close as we push the riders to their limit to see what they are made of. Did they might their goals? 50 miles is all they have left to get there.
- - - - -
As a reminder, Phase II is about giving two young athletes the opportunity to compete in three of the Life Time Grand Prix events with pro-level equipment, mechanic support, and mentorship. The mission is to create a successful and sustainable pathway from high school leagues to a potential professional cycling career that can be copied and used by other athletes/companies as the development pathways grow. There is a large gap between high school racing and the biggest races in the U.S., making it very tough to jump into the Life Time Grand Prix as an 18 year old, Phase II provides the stepping stone needed for a young athlete dreaming of a career as a bike racer.

    @alexeyandavery and all the sponsors, trust me this makes a huge difference for these athletes on the bike, but especially in life. I’m thrilled to see this program for Julia and Neruda, because when I was their age I had to learn it all on my own which was hard to do in the 1980s. This is exactly what American cycling needs. Way to go!!!

    @Opt_out_of_this 4 години тому

    I've coached world class racers and seen them take wrong turns (blew up their position) Leadvile, Brec Epic, Gravel Worlds, etc_they are so talented yet not in the operational art, my solution was for me to pre-ride and look for wrong turn traps and make sure they "Trust" their judgement and or fix the marking of the course. Seen it lots of times. Great series, great Photography. Biggest takeaway AV "you picked good people" for this. Hat tip. Avery knows how to capture the emotion with the lens and light. Another Hat tip.

  • @Opt_out_of_this
    @Opt_out_of_this 4 години тому

    I would say, coaching these two makes AV a better racer i.e. sees what he's teaching apply to yourself, soak it. Appears that both of these two young racers already have the after race interview down pat. " On to Cincinatti" Bill Belichick.

      @samd6405 5 годин тому

      @@paulwojcik1920 you missed my point. I personally prefer mechanical Shimano over anything wireless. But the Enve MOG poses many tight cable bends with internal routing through the stem/headset. Not to mention difficulty feeding the cables through the limited space within the stem. Good to know shifting was not compromised as I’ve heard otherwise.

I hope the best for Phase II, and and that with continuing support, perhaps it could develop into a full on Junior Development Team for aspiring racers.

      100% feel for those like Neruda that followed the arrows and went right. Raced the 50 mile Big Sugar route too this year but I followed my Garmin telling me to go left however 3 guys I was in a group with went right. So frustrating to have a race impacted by that. Great job to the whole Phase II. Great video content.
