Pesyon, You need to sell this to the stationary bike folks for posting on their devices. I’m using it in that manner today on the phone! Good work man!
Fantastic race recap Payson. You do a great job of narration and I also enjoy the fact that you’re complementary about other riders. Keep these videos coming.
One thing Lifetime doesn’t do well is covering the games and tactics that go on in the lead group(s). These recaps are some of the best out there and are greatly appreciated. Keep em coming, can’t wait for more.
Fantastic inside view, the intensity is incredible… all these riders are skinny aero roadies, long gone is the « spirit of gravel » this is proper hardcore racing!
Thanks for the video and commentary. It feels like I'm there. I haven't thought about a race like this but it gets me thinking and questioning "What will it take to push myself to my very best?". I enjoy your podcast too. I listen to it on my way to/from work. I'm getting lost in the bike verbiage here. For example, what's "roll through" or "shut down an attack"? If there's a youtube vid or website (I've searched but not much luck) that goes over these strategies in detail, let me know. I just started getting into biking (bikepacking and mtn biking) but this gravel racing is really interesting. I just need to learn the termonology to make it that much more fun.
Nice video Payson! And again, congrats for your awesome race! That said, here are my thoughts on the team tactics invasion: Yes, team tactics might win the race moving forward. BUT it does not mean will earn the respect of the gravel community. Seeing people stretching the back, looking at the birds when it came time to go to the front and pull does not sit well with most of us. And honestly the lost of the respect from the gravel community might lead to lost of intention to buy from these riders' sponsors. Just saying :)
Wow… cool upload, that was interesting, I didn’t know it was this crazy. Extremely impressive result, the bar seems to get higher ever year. I still reckon that’s one of the best 20 I’ve seen. Pure Class, well done, I’d fight for 6th over 9th, what a privilege and first world problem. LOL.
its great to see the 'inside view' of the pros racing, not boring, most riders will never experience it so your videos are most interesting and entertaining.
