Yes it is Brutal, one of our Airedale members, Luke, a cat 2 who you passed at the 5.20min mark, was taken out later, 3 broken ribs, 2 fractured vertebrae, a smashed up shoulder and more and 12 days in hospital, should not have to be like that. Some reckless riding by some.
The Same Happened to me, was worried about over tightning seat post because it's carbon, it Dropped first 10mins of the race, didnt notice pot hole as i was tucked behind the back wheel of the group. If your chain is Slipping / Jumping Get Some BananaWax Drag & Friction Reduction Professional Racing ChainWax For your Chain. If your using clincher tyres, Try buying WCS Ritchey Race Comp Slick Tyres 25c better then any pirelli or Conti tyre.
Can add to that list carbon assembly paste for the seat post. Forgot to put it on this bike 🤦🏾♂️. And I prefer Hutchinson Fusion 5 tires, 28mm front, 30mm rear.
@@gettingcritfit Three Things I've learned Crit Racing that all the top Riders do 1. BananaWax Chain Drag Reduction & Friction Racing Chain Wax 2. WCS Ritchey Race Comp Slick Tyres 25c on Carbon Clinchers 215 grams 3. TPU inner Tubes 36grams Weighs Less than the Sealant, Safer on Corners. How Much Do the Hutch Fusion 5 weigh In 28c and 30c format.

seen it now, oh man 😭😔you were looking strong and on it there though Ryan 💪 top 10 Seacroft Race 2025, you heard it here first :D (assuming you find a good mechanic ;) )
Real shame, I was spectating yesterday and there were tonnes of mechanicals because of the road surface. Really poor when silly things like that affect the race.
@@gettingcritfit Starting to think my repurposing of an old CX bike as a crit machine (never owned a road bike) might not be the worst idea watching some of these onboards!

@@CryptoBond007 tbh I don’t think weight of the tires matters when you are 96kg 😅 rolling resistance and grip on them is great though

Real shame Ryan a great watch - a very pragmatic summary!
Would have won, hope that wall isn’t damaged
I think the wall won Tbf 😅

I was 7th last year at Seacroft, so a little disappointing this year. Podium for sure next year 🤌🏾

It is the nature of town centre crits and is only going to get worse if councils and utility companies hire shoddy contractors.

@@MxCraven 30mm tires at a minimum
If you think that is Brutal, you should have ridden when I rode it on OPEN roads.
Car-nage?!?
