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.
Can totally relate to Neruda. Had the same kind of situation with a mismarked turn on a race, and it sucks! Now I always double check the route and memorize key turns where courses may overlap. I’ve learned never rely on a marker… know your course 😂
I think we've all made a wrong turn a few times in a TT, gravel, road, or fondo type race/event. But I have never gotten lost in a crit or 'cross race 😎.
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.
I was there! Meredith and I were in that group taking the wrong turn. Definitely a tough spot on the day.
All in all…. Great job kids! Learn and keep rolling forward!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
Good work fellas. 👊
Awsome videos great job guys! It gave me a new look on how I should be training. Maybe I’ll beat Alexey at Iceman next year lol.

It can be the worst!

Sick series 🤙
Great series guys 👌
What does privateer racing mean? Is that someone who's not on a professional team?
How was it so poorly marked? I get following your GPS, but why arrows pointing the wrong way?
Why have gps and dl courses if youre not going to use it?
