      You rode a smart race to plan including fuelling. You went harder on the hill as planned and it paid dividends. A winning strategy and well deserved.

    Hi Chris. Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to provide coverage of the G2I. A big thank you to the Auriolc photography and Mat Gilfedder. Having previously raced the Grafton many years ago this brought back some good memories (although I may not classify Gibraltor as a good memory given I am a larger rider). I hope that through your channel and the power of social media that you may be able to provide content of other races. We used to have some fantastic racing, Nygan to Dubbo, Muswellbrook to Tamworth, Goulburn to Liverpool to name a few. Any and all footage you can provide combined with your insights into each race will be great. Race data and outputs will also be interesting. Keep up the informative, positive social media content 👍

    Love the video and IMO it's a good balance between numbers, tactics, logistics, in-race footage, as well as the personal stuff. For me, it's having all those elements that really makes a race recap interesting. Congrats on the win! And to be able to capture on bike footage of the race and to be able to put together such a great capsule of the win - I hope this video blows up and does mad numbers, but even if it didn't, f'ing amazing to be able to wrap up a day to remember in this way.

    New to the channel and just blown away. Very appreciative of the content...these videos and the content that you and Jesse generate...I am here for it all...happy to go into the weeds on the gear chat, will defo pull out the popcorn for the gossip and really enjoy the training talk. I have just returned to training in slightly...actually completely mental way and have got a tonne out of the content. Having found the channel I am now going all in...obviously....as here I am on a 8 month old video. Commenting really just to show support for your work and effort...and because I know it helps the channel.
    Great effort and happy to consume more of this race content both on road and on gravel...and as interested in the story behind the story as I am in the race itself.

    I wasn't a big fan of the music selected, but could go with it (and that's obviously personal). However, I thought the video was remarkable. You managed to convey the action, the uncertainty, the excitement and the tactics completely....and you are Joe Solo. Getting the guy on the motorbike to carry the Go Pro was genius and he did a great job. Nice to see your parents involved( really nice touch) and the feed station hand overs were slick. Lots of hardwork, ignoring the ride. Really good job.

And man you're strong to get away on those climbs. I've ridden in Australia just in one mass start amateur race/sportive and there are lots of really strong riders in Oz all the way through the ranks. Not like they're a bunch of easy beats that one can just turn up to after a few weeks training and expect to win as the level is quite high. Cool seeing these races I've heard about, and getting a feel for them too. Thx
