Craziest Crit of 2022! Momentum Indy Criterium *Live Watch Along*

With the suspension of Justin Williams and Michael Hernandez after a fist fight in Salt Lake, and the collarbone break of series leader Alfredo Rodriguez, the top of the leaderboard is in flux. Project Echelon will be defending the jersey for Brandon "Monk" Feehery while Thomas Gibbons and automatic look for an elusive win. Only three more stops in the inaugural American Crit Cup! Lots of teams like Cliff Bar and Butcher Box are looking for a result as the season winds down.

So great to see that finish. Tyler W, doesn't have a sprint comparative to the best buddies riders so that one was fairly locked up for Best Buddies, great race for sure!

Hey Jon, what are the chances you have a list of riders who film POV races? I've got a pretty good collection already but always looking for more trainer material. Great content as always, looking forward to 2023.

Thanks! I don’t have a comprehensive list but off the top of my head, Corey Williams is the obvious one, but a couple deeper cuts: Clever Martinez often does live streams of full races on his Facebook. If it’s still floating around you can probably find me in his footage from Birmingham Hammerfest last year. Also Michalee Bowles from Nashville local films full races in really high quality and uploads the whole thing. He has a good one from elite crit nats last year.

Is it possible to neutralize the lapped group until the breakaway passes, then allow them to continue racing?

[@JonathanCrain]

Much like track racing, lapping the field is a part of crit racing. Usually, it doesn't happen in the finale like this but navigating the chaos is a skill in itself.
