Those who didn't get a proper warm-up would have been kicking themselves. Poor legs!

[@Liam_ridesbikes]

If lapped riders don't get pulled and you actually wanted to just support your team mate you wouldn't be going for a lap, you would just sit fresh and support for a leadout. Be honest you were all about going for the 7th place! 😉

[@NorCalCycling]

this is a legit point 😅

[@chrisbenten9971]

Best video in a while! Really liked all the tactics. Thanks to Will for sharing!

[@williamrhardin]

💯

[@loganokrafka4878]

Not going to lie I was a bit relieved when will went in the break, I just had to ride the front just fast enough to not let them lap. (I’m Simon’s teammate)

[@FabioCycling]

Looks like a normal Zwift start

[@thorarin7537]

And that's the truth! 😎

[@dustind9242]

Except they aren't fat 50 year olds lying about their weight...

[@steroroba6261]

Would love to see you at 465W for 5 minutes, with a bd around 70kg

[@FabioCycling]

It was a fun joke, but you properly didn't get it.@@steroroba6261

[@williamrhardin]

Ha! Yeah, felt about the same!

[@jonathanwise47]

This is really cool race. It'll be in May this year.

[@PatrickLino]

Lots of Winspace frames and wheels in this video haha

[@Eramsay121]

I was noticing that too. Every other set of wheels I see are Hypers

[@SAMB542]

These are great! Awesome view and analysis on top level racing

[@lfcamerican4366]

This was my A race, at Cat4.
Crashed three weeks before. Barely healed physically in time, but absolutely lost the edge mentally. Couldn’t get comfortable in the pack. Tried to ride for a teammate a few hours later in the Cat 3, and had nothing.
I’ve ridden gravel roads that are smoother than that long down hill.

[@Murda2615]

This was an awesome race to watch in person. Awesome job will

[@MrSkid56]

That Methods to Winning rider holding onto the barrier at the start only not being able to clip in- Awesome start pace!

[@stephenvogel5598]

Vogel you say? Congrats Stephen and Will!

[@MrIBBeats]

I can't stress enough how confused I was showing up to this race 45 mins in & seeing Will attempt that solo effort!

[@johnchady2018]

I cranked out a 418 for a minute in a start yesterday. I can't imagine 5 minutes of that effort!

[@nationsnumber1chump]

looks like a fun course!

[@Timtimzi]

I've never seen the field getting (almost) lapped twice. Must've been confusing in the race.

[@TracKnGravelDeWd]

It was fun to watch, there were geoups of 5-10 riders getting dropped every lap

[@Jackisaboss1208]

Hey I know Eli! Super good guy

[@docpewpew]

This dude us strong 🤙🏼

[@davidandras5831]

is norcal cycling kit on the sight? that would be cool

[@nigelmcclean4166]

guy in red shorts...what size cassette is that? wow!

[@eliwoodard42]

10 speed 11-22. The goal is to minimize the spacing between cogs. Works great for flat 4 corner crits. Hurts a bit more with courses like these

[@ΘάνατοςΧορτοφάγος]

Ahum...cyclocross 👌😁

[@marcfarrelly5944]

This was exactly my thought, this is a mild CX start.

[@miyui9269]

is it okay to use PEDs in crits?

[@jadenngl]

no.....

[@aaronbarker6988]

It is almost impossible to warm up at that race!!

[@Thezuule1]

That speedometer doesn't seem accurate.

[@Nicomacchiato]

That's just a classic zwift race start :P

[@AbhijeetSingh-nm2ll]

Really stupid move, it’s like they both were on different teams, I can bet my unborn child that if he stuck and helped his teammate that 4th place could have turned to 3rd place.

[@NorCalCycling]

wouldn't have hurt if he stayed, but not sure i'd bet a kid on it, did you see that podium 😳

[@willsitz4901]

Vogel, his teammate, is not a sprinter

[@AbhijeetSingh-nm2ll]

@@willsitz4901 Yet he got 4th out of 7 people, with some help he would 100% get Top3, no doubt in my mind. Having a buddy working their ass off during the final 2-3 minutes of the race is really essential for you to succeed in the final 200m.

[@AbhijeetSingh-nm2ll]

@@NorCalCycling Haha, yup, saw that podium😅.
I take back all my criticisms,
Whatever Lord Jeff says is Law to me🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@jonathanazbell9596]

Easiest mountain bike start:

[@keatonverswi]

So true. Why do I find you everywhere I go

[@jonathanazbell9596]

@@keatonverswi Dude seriously I think we are the same person. We have like the exact same usac points too.

[@keatonverswi]

@@jonathanazbell9596 no way let’s go

[@thisishowthetruthdies684]

Mountain bike tend to be like this because people don't want to be stuck behind traffic.

[@JibbaJabber]

This fast🥇

[@mbastos1000]

Proud of what?

[@Powerhauz]

Yeah. Keep feeding the engagement stats, bud. Proud of you.
