    Great vid. Do they still do a version of the RR starting from the Akuna Bay marina? That was a brutal start with no chance to hide.

    Hey Josh, I’m a newbie here, but I love your videos. I’ve spent the last few days binge watching, I really enjoy the music, telemetry, high quality voice overs and the editing. It’s all *chefs kiss*

    Excellent vid Josh. A very accurate assessment of that course. It’s definitely energy sapping and tricky with those tight U-turns. I really enjoyed your rundown on your race strategy/tactics too. Congrats on snagging a podium spot. I watch a lot of cycling videos and take this as a big compliment, when I say you are at the top of the list. Great stuff keep ‘em coming

    Love this breakdown of the racecraft. Getting up near Lanterne Rouge! I think you give yourself too little credit, and the cross-training isn't hurting you either!

    • @joshkwan

      Thank you mate! There’s no prize to whoever does the most watts. It’s whoever crosses the line first.
      Thanks for the compliments :)

    Well done Josh! Impressive work at the end there to get second. And great overview of tactics for West Head RR. Just a shame you were up against my boy SDW (Steve de Wit) who is an absolute animal! That was his first race!

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  4 місяці тому +4

      Haha I could tell he was strong. He was pulling back a lot of the attacks as well as sitting on the front tonnes. To be fair the strongest rider won which was him.
      His timing was also really good, so props to him

    Good effort, nice to see your training paying dividends. You're sprints getting better & better. I raced at Heffron Park in the early 2000s & loved cycling in Sydney. Keep it up bud 👍

    Hi Josh , how and where do you get your telemetry on your video from the Bike?

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 місяці тому +2

      Hey mate. I use a software called Telemetry Overlay, it costs about $150 USD from my memory. You can sync the footage to the data file to get the on screen data. Then you tinker the overlay to suit your desired overlay.

    Regarding the frequency of the West Head RR. I live in the supposed cycling cornucopia of canberra and we have maybe 5 or 6 road races a year with AusCycling affiliated clubs.

    06:15 the yellow things freak me out when you ride like that

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  4 місяці тому

      Haha yea the reflectors. Luckily they just bump you a bit while you’re riding, but don’t pose too much danger. Would avoid them if possible since they probably scrub a bit of speed off you.
      Hope you enjoyed the racing footage, it’s quite different to running races 😋

  • @stevelind6499
    @stevelind6499 4 місяці тому +1

    Great video but… crossing the centre white line is a no no at West Head RR. Call me a stickler but position is a reward for good racing, not something achieved by going off course. If it was on the grass, that would be different. Not that you were the only one. Keep the videos coming though, great to watch.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  4 місяці тому

      That is fair enough mate, and to be honest I would have loved to stay left of the lines. But the group fanned out so much it was almost impossible not to.

    • @Richard-qe7st
      @Richard-qe7st 3 місяці тому

      Agree with this - it used to be an instant DQ if you’re seen crossing the line. The turn around used to be much further down the hill about 10!years back (by the gate entrance) so you had an horrific 15% grade to take on from a standing start back to the finish line. Proud to say I held off the peloton once for the win but I was very glad I didn’t wear a heart monitor as it nearly killed me! Great video and explanation. Keep it up and move up the grades….
