Lolz at the first 6 comments. This race looks a complete death trap
Sad to see this poor level of coverage/footage. A sign the sport is dying. Kudos Norcal for covering!!
Coming from golf, the US Am vs US Open distinction of 2 different national championships wouldn't be that foreign. Was the turn out just not good enough in the amateur (elite) championship to justify 2 different races? Seems like a loss for the sport from my pov.
BASSETT!!!
Reign/rain storm appropriate name😊
Jeff's bot hype train is off the hook – congrats bro you've earned it.
There are two guys in red bibs on rim brakes. Was that your team? That would scare me, with everyone around me on discs.
Rim brakes on all carbon wheels in the wet – some people are just built different! 💪 🥷
very cool! very cool! Love all the bots! 🍉💜
I love the mission of project echelon
What’s with metal grate barriers? Seems really dangerous you’d think there’d be a safer option?
I wish there's more pro crit race here in Vancouver Canada. I watch the Project Echelon raced in Gastown Grandprix last week and they totally crushed it. STRONG RIDERS!
Oh, those wet painted lines with guys ripping over them.
This is insane!!! That rain is just making the course an ice rink. At full speed. Full power. At night. With all of those downtown area paint lines and oil spots. Nuts! These guys are true hardmen. Chapeau!!!
Have to ask one more time just for good measure, we won’t see you out at Chicago Grit this year?
Jeff what's your road tire of choice
US crit racing has become utterly boring. For years now it's been the same story. Whether it's been Legion, Project Echelon or Reign Storm. One strong team dominating the race from start to finish. And not by attacking, just by riding a hard tempo. No breaks, no chasing, just waiting for the sprint. Not good for the sport.
It would be difficult to make this more unappealing. Perhaps add traffic?
Will having a 400W tempo is just nuts.
Nice!!!
It amazes me how there were not more people on the deck. Really wet and every surface that says questionable grip, road paint, concrete cobbles and drain covers, everywhere. Before you even consider the speed and numbers.
I would love if crits had a limit of four(-ish) riders pr. team to avoid someone holding such choke holds on races. Makes it a lot less interesting.
Ok the rain is a chance thing but having all these pro crits at night is ridiculous. Horrible what they do to these poor racers. Let them race when they can see properly
Yeah
So in that sort of weather/race how different is the tire pressure?
Those sharp cheese grater barriers look super unsafe for riders
You watch this and gravel takes a backseat
I watched this live on Flo. Looked horrible haha. Cool to see the inside footage
Got to watch and meet some of the incredible Project Echelon guys in Grafton WI, awesome team! I spent my time in the Army and their mission behind the team is fantastic! My brother and I truly appreciated the Project Echelon hats! Kudos to you Will, great race!
