mikes bike, legion, vegan cyc this was a YT meet not a race lol
I read that somewhere else just yesterday...
@@BangTheRocksTogether BUSTED!
What an episode! Man, seeing the Legion rider respond to the attack at 2:06 blows my mind. Now you see him, now you don't.
That was wild... whew... He hawked him... 🦅
Right?!? That was wicked Snaps
I swear all Legion riders have legs like tree trunks.
You can actually hear his teammate mark the attack before it hits and see him constantly checking behind knowing it was coming in the rear view camera. Legion coordination right there.
that was a HUGE acceleration dude
Dude you were right there! You are a monster. Can't wait for more race like this 👌
What's great about watching all these videos from these racers is we don't have to rely on traditional media. We get inside scoops at high level of competition from those in the race. Keep it coming!
No offense but this is really low level when it comes to pros. A climber in the word tour pro peloton could win a sprint riding solo agasint these guys. High level competition right now is happening in "pais vasco".
@@mikelboudica5389 Besides being wrong and stupid if you have to preface your comment with "no offense" it's also probably really offensive. These guys reach a HIGH LEVEL of competition doing something they are not compensated for in a society that doesn't value it. They have arguably achieved more then Euros.
@@gattmolson you clearly don’t know about cycling. That is like comparing La Liga with the MLS, actually not even. Is like comparing La Liga with Chinese soccer league. Cheers
Actually the fact that you think someone will broadcast this is hilarious, this is like a high school game when compared to the real pros. I actually don’t even consider them real pro. They are the top amateur crit racer and very few of them, the rest are weekend warriors, don’t you see a 40 year old dad that has already raced being able to be with the “pros” at the end of the race? Do you see the teens in the peloton, do you realize there is only two teams that are “pro” competing with people with regular jobs?Dont you see they don’t even have a rule for how many riders can be on a team , and actually force all teams to have the same numbers? I was trying to be nice .. just comment was actually pathetic and you from someone with no idea about about word tour , continental all the way to this “pros” . Lol
@@mikelboudica5389 I used the term high level of competition. As far as crit racing goes, this is it in the US.... you decided to relate it to being a pro. Pro racing in grand tours is a different animal. I disagree with your assessment of a 'climber' beating these guys in a sprint. The comparison is ridiculous.
Wow Jeff! Incorporating footage from VC and Cory Williams really pushes this video to 11/10. So amazing to have different perspectives which help us understand what's going on
oh hi justin
Great editing. I especially loved the jersey pictures at the beginning so we know who is who.
U won't find analysis like this anywhere else. Chapeau!
Been waiting to see this vid. Can't wait for more L39GION vs. Mike's Bikes. It's like y'all should have your own network. Between the footage from you, Cory, and VC this is super premo content.
Seriously. That would be great content to watch.
Thanks for coming out. We’ll have the sequel on May 1st!
Legion are like Deceurninck Quickstep, and you're like a wheel surfing Van Aert!
Amazing work, and great footage. Your channel is incredible!
Hahahahahahahahahaha! Like Deceuninck Quickstep!? Hahahahahahahaha!
feels like legion watched you guys go over the top and said oh, alright well our race just got easier lol. hell of a sprint though and good communication. plan got well executed overall. podium spot and getting near the williams brothers despite being back down a bit. hard to complain after that
What Legion really does better than anyone is protect the inside.
This video just added 200 watts to my FTP
I love how DIY American racing is. No coverage of our races? Fine we'll race and then produce pro level sports coverage that's better than Euro. Wouldn't be surprised if some racer was flying that drone at the finish.
That Bianchi under the Legion guy is phenomenal! Gorgeous.
Such great content, double props for managing to keep it thoroughly entertaining all the way till the end in spite of that front camera issue and for editing it so well the thrill of the race makes us forget about it.
These guys at L3gion are so collectively and individually good, marvelous to see this level of performance. Hope you'll get another chance to take them on soon.
(Also, could Mike's Bikes add Glen from NL to the team for a race or two, that would give you guys a good boost ahah)
I love the honesty of this commentary. Im a casual biker who has never raced, and this explains race strategy so well while also being totally wholesome and respectful of Legion (a team who beat Mike's bikes). Class act professor
Your commentary is superb. Excellent effort by you and the team.
Jeff, you’re not old. You’re just Mark Cavendish at this point :D
Started cycling at the start of 2021, and your videos have really inspired me to progress and get better! Sadly there's no flourishing crit scene where I'm from, but I'm learning so much from your videos! On a side note, I'm doing my own "Couch to Crit" training journey (not really documenting them tho) but I love the idea behind it!
Looks like Lamperti will be a name to watch in the future.
Lovee your videos, very nice in-depth analysis of almost every move made. Few times I got stuck while explaining certain tacticts to junior team and using one of your videos was a blessing. Thanks for the time you generously dedicated to cycling community
Thanks Jeff for the steady content. I super duper greatly appreciate the breakdown. Have a great rest of the week!
This is awesome! I’ve learnt so much from your videos. I have lost 6 stone since I starting cycling and I won my first crit race last week. Loving the channel! 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video. LEGION posted a video on this race yesterday, but alas, no data, no commentary, no anything. So while it's great to watch a bike race, without knowing where they are in the race, or being able to see any data, it makes it much less interesting. Great job hanging with two of the best in the country brother, there's no shame at all in how you rode.
Jeff can sprint with the big dogs 😎
Awesome video and great voice over. Terrific footage & collaboration from all sides! Looking forward to more content!
The quality just keeps getting better and better. Having footage from the other riders just made it all the better, it's cool seeing it from another perspective. Can't wait for more. I'm just sad crit racing isn't a thing here in nz
I absolutely love these videos, thank you so much, they're so interesting
Great race and also good to hear and see a few teams perspectives. These videos and L3gions have inspired me to Crit.
2:08 bro that guy's snap sprint was legit starting at 25mph.
And your sprint, I feel like billy badass with my 1200 watt 5 second sprint. Seeing yours just hanging at 1300 then hanging around at 1200 was crazy.
A lot of my favorite UA-camrs / Cyclist. I really didn't know who the root for.
Great job of mashing up the different footages with the GoPro going out! Awesome videos as always!
the drone footage ending is reaaaaaaalll nice.
What a race buddy, massive result for the team and yourself 👊
Third place that's awesome. Up against the best. Awesome video. Great to see all the heavy hitters in one race. Nice on Jeff n mikes bikes.
Amazing content as always Jeff, great effort!
Great ride from Mikes Bikes, Keep Legion on their toes, keeping the racing interesting.
Am I the only one that has been reading this as COWchilla until hearing him pronounce it at the beginning?
Snoop!!
def read COW. hahahhaa. yes.
I thought it was Chinchilla
He's wrong, It is Cowchilla, most relaxed beef in the US.
@@tewaewae NICE!
I just love your channel. Great job.
I think it is cool that all these other UA-camrs hook you up with footage. Racing is back 😄
Yo! Been waiting all week for this video. Great stuff!
Great content , as per usual
You make Crit racing soooooo dam cool! love your vids!!!
Excellent video collaboration!
Awesome recap. Exciting racing.
The commentator is soo damn modest. You did so awesome!
classy guy
Awesome content even with out the GoPro, can’t wait to see more of these 👍
Nice watts at the end there. Thanks for another great video.
Amazing content as usual. Keep it up
That's a whole lot of SWORKS bikes in that race
I noticed that too..
Can wait for these weekly again
I like the mixed camera perspectives 🤔 looks pretty neat
There were a lot of cameras at the event...
Great video. Yeah, one of my forward cameras went before my race. Good thing I had two.
Awesome content and insane analysis 👍🏼
Sick race, lots of powerful riders!
I think you guys did a pretty good job showing just how powerful Mike's bike is and not being afraid of legion also some of my team mates got to race against Justine at Caribbean championships in Dominica republic a few weeks ago race was so hard not even Justine could finish it 1 of our riders finish top 20 but that's just hard as hell to do
Great video man love it . 👍💪
love your videos man
I haven’t finished your couch to crit videos. Still on the couch.
same lmaooo
The Legion guy at 2:08 straight up hit the thrust button and took off instantaneously!
These videos are perfect for doing uni work to .
putting some heat on the legion boys:)
Great video Jeff!
would love to see how Legion would do in "crit" in Belgium or Netherlands
I agree, 💯%
Legion would get bullied in the East they scared of them in the west and in Cali
@@_o.0_. no they wouldn’t. They win all across the country
They’re the big fish in the small pond over in America. Over in Europe they’d for sure be a small fish
Haters going to hate.
Love the sharing of footage.
Awesome racing, footage and commentary... Makes me wish I was 25 again.. Lolol
Been waiting this one!
Such an excellent story teller and a racer and a teacher! Respect and love from China(not CCP).
Awesome work 👏
awesome strategy! awesome race!
Such good stuff!
Way to piece it together without the primary cam! I love these videos!
Jeeeeeez!! Team Mike's Bikes got Legion worried. Good stuff
amazing race sir!!
So many racers on Specialized, and understandably so. It's incredible to see how much market share Cannondale has lost in the U.S. crit scene. When they started dicking around nearly 3 years ago with the SuperSix and CAAD frames to attract the Rapha-poseur market.
no use having a plan if you don't use it. great vid and commentary, thanks!
I will likely never race a crit but I enjoy all the UA-cam content from the various channels following these Cali races. I want to see Legion go up against stronger and stronger competition while the Williams are in their prime. I’m hoping American Crit racing can go mainstream and bring in real athletic money and lure top talent from Europe. It’s a different brand of racing than the classics and tours. These guys should be stars and should be on Wheaties boxes. Kids should want to be in the drops sprinting to the next telephone pole and not riding wheelies into oncoming traffic. As a start, I think we need to lobby GCN to get some coverage.
Great coverage Jeff! Although I feel it's lacking glockenspiel sound effects at 4:30 for some comic relief 😄
Thx!!! Great Video
Good way to start my morning.
Damn...you make me proud Jeff!
Jeff, maybe the 'stache is affecting aerodynamics? Two positions gained right there! Love your content!
I can't believe the amount of Specialized sponsorships there are in that field, thats great to see from an American company.
I have an Sworks tarmac and the thought of crashing my bike horrifies me, I couldn't imagine taking out 6 others.
lol. That's why a lot of crit racers use aluminum bikes
Daaaang great job!
Wow, this is what i call home schooling bro!! nice cycling lesson!!
I love vegan cyclist such a sweet dude I love both of you guys!
Those uniforms they have super pop, easily the most visible in the field.
Sometimes you learn the most from making mistakes. It was aggressive and probably ill-advised but now you guys at least know what sort of effort it takes to make a move like that and how long you can sustain it before they come back. Fun stuff to watch! Also, i wonder if Jeff or Sam stays on the Legion wheel, their train might deliver you right to the finishline after chasing the big move? Like send one sprinter with your leadout and one/two guys to ride Legion's train as the final counter-punch.
in a sense the race was already decided before it started .. great video
Great video and commentary once again. It's a shame your gopro was hungry and ate the footage.
At a guesstimate where do you reckon you rate as far as crit riders in the US?
Best buddies totally did what you did here year
verygood race
YES! MORE!
Wow! Nice ride! Congratulations to all cyclist
If you're breathing the same air as Corey and Jason Williams in the last 200 meters of a race, you're doing something. Nothing to be ashamed of at all right there.
hey jeff, i really admire your godlike sprinting. i aspire to break the 60k/hr in-the-flats barrier one day. are you always on your hardest gear when emptying the tank? or do you target a specific rpm when emptying the tank? i enjoyed your content today!
Damn. Legion owned that race.
Awesome 💪🏼🌎😎
What are the main categories of races and any of them for newbies etc? UK and/or US? Keep up the good content really enjoying these types of vids!!
couch-chiller? I'm in!
