Awesome tactics and win 👏
Nice one Jake! Looked like good fun, might have to start racing again 😎
Great racing and tactics Jake, looking strong!
Nob has a great idea for how to celebrate a victory. You need to jump, kick a tiger in the face, throw a motorbike and fire an arrow… and also do the macarena. RRR. Well raced Captain. Good tactics… I shall try that in my next race…even though I'll be on my own having been dropped and questioning my life choices. I think I might buy a new jigsaw.
Nice one Jake I do like a bit of chat in a race
good job!
Bravo 👏 another nice win.
Nice race. You've got to go with the Shush 🤫 celebration after the trash talk
Now I want to see comments from those other riders. As a weak sprint guy, I would still sit in on the sprinters until a bit later in the race, stay off the front, and then try to really crank up a steady effort, but I'm better at 5-10 minute efforts than going really long. If Kearns had enough juice to get a little gap and carry on for a bit, then two sprinters might really look at each other. Looking at the result I'd guess you would have crushed both of them if you got to the finish together. Also, I note that Rasmussen was DNF at 200m from the finish 😑
1:29 I love doing these tactics during races to see who cracks first 😂 Theres not enough in game banter during races, good fun winding each othe up 😂
Great race Jake! It was so good to see you put a video up. I love how you constantly talk about tactics throughout the race because tactics will change from moment to moment depending on what the other riders do. See I would have stayed with the pack when that first guy jumped to get away but you chased him down so I learned from you! "One was knocked out cold, he didn't even make it out of the pen" 😂 there's always one zinger in there I catch! I was so glad to see your video because I knew it would make me smile. It's been a rough day. Big hugs!
I’ve seen Rasmussen around a bit, good rider. I think Kearns was on a gravel bike, which I think is the best choice for this route. Great commentary and tactical battle.
Checks the time!! Love it! Great work, Jake!
Who need tactics when you've got all the watts!!
Fantastic race and commentary Jake
Gould got dropped , he would kick your ass on a real road race mate 😂
VERY clever tactic at the end there Jake! I think this was the one and only successful type of effort you could've chosen to finish in 1st place. Congratz mate! Awesome to watch! 😀
