Tactical Showdown for 1st Place - UCI Gran Fondo Australia

what happened to certified weapon at end? he did all the work lol

Whats your bodyweight?

Sick vid well done

Thanks for the shout out from NZ. Fun ride & cool vid 🤙

That's the content and chat we like..... 🎉 bike tech reviews 🙄🥱... keeping it real love it. And well done lads.

To non-racers such as myself: The ranting about the first descender is interpreted as just like a personal disagreement or dislike? im struggling to see why somebody taking different lines to others is an issue, its a race people are racing eachother: as long as it doesnt hugely disrupt others (they're not actively cutting anyone off or risking a crash etc) just overtaking and then stagnating is there anything wrong with that? like they might just be taking a different style of line to everyone else or doing something they enjoy or are doing something they're more comfortable with or maybe just havent done as many races so dont know what to do, cant see why you cant ignore him unless im mistaken?

i'm trying to identify if this is more of a personal opinion or if there is actually a reason people cant do this even if its less efficient, thanks

Missed the actual riding videos. Nice one.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Awesome vid, wondering that you can get insta 360 in to sponsor the video, it would be even better if the events could see the potential to partner with you. They could have a moto follow you and get some footage. This would add to the content as well as let them have a promotional product for next years event.
Keep up the great work and race results 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Such a great vid Chris. Super entertaining!

Good video Christopher and no mention of a TCR which is always a winner!

Well done Chris. Enjoyed that!!!

I'm digging this format. Kudos Chris and Jesse. You naild it.

Those dudes dive bombing all over the road while descending on the tops have been playing too many Zwift steering mini games! 😂

Wait? Your coach was on RB? 🤯

"It starts with a FTP test" lol

Good power from the start!

Gold content!

Love this video

Love this kind of vids tbh even group ride ones I would like I think

Awesome video Chris 👌

300 watts for 3 hours - thats serious stuff. fair play

Great vid🤘

Enjoyed it a lot. Fast enough, funny enough, content enough. Just as I like it.

Noooice win! Congrats! what happened to certified weapon? ran out of bullets? different age group?

In the tops!

Thanks for the love mate! Shannon Scott (Certified Hitter) will be riding on this high for months! We won't be hearing the end of it. 🤣

Great vid and nice spelling of "lourne"

After 12 entries in Amy's I've been waiting for this video Chris, ta! Glad to hear you acknowledge that the GOR section isn't just flat, too. There were/are opportunities; just not so many as the initial 110km clockwise AGF versions had with their 'summit' finish atop Benwerrin. When did your 123rpm peak occur; anything to gain by going higher?

What I'm dying to know is what you'll try to change, so you can win a rainbow jersey next October against 'the world' in Lorne, & not just the top podium spot at a 'local' GF? (Congrats again!!!)

Any thoughts to revisit the course before next October, to actually 'know' it, rather than merely respond to it in the race? (I'd bet that those 'foreigners' bothering to attend, won't just arrive on Saturday night! Hell, I didn't qualify & I'm already booked from Tuesday.) Any Jesse Coil aero or weight-savings ideas you might be willing to try to get that rainbow? Doesn't the S5 allow 34mm tyres, if your wheelset will still allow for the rule of 105? 🤔

So you carried a small ring, & shifter, that you didn't use! I personally played with my gearing so much over those 1st few years & ended up never carrying a gear I wouldn't be using (42/25 for that 16% pinch; 'optimal chain-line' anyone?). Go straight-blocks & mono-blocks; thanks 7800 & Edco!

Great Vid!

Your rant was really soft.

That was great and the video was very good, thank you for highlighting the camera and how you used it, I would be afraid of losing it somehow.

These race report videos are absolute top tier!!

What’s your review on the Bont? @chris

Super work Chris. Well done!

This is a very very lovely edit . Tight, fast moving - and extremely engaging. Congrats on the executing your race strategy to win 💪Impressive all round

🥖🥖 Great video and narration congrats on the win

What a banger of a video

Loving the content Chris!! Hoping to be out there with you guys next year

what is that power meter in your bike? Haven't seen a crank arm like that

Great video. Congrats.

What do u think of the BikeBox that Jesse used? firm, solidd? or flimsy?

The Vegan inspired style of this video is so clear, appreciated though still.

awesome video mate! enjoyed it a lot and congrats to your effort! great job! cheers from Germany

What happened to certified weapon?..Did he qualify?

These vids are seriously incredible Chris! I constantly find myself coming back to rewatch these

Yes you maybe good, but your ego is bigger than your ability.

Doing the Tour de Brisbane?

“Certified Weapon” is Mr Shannon Scott. Brilliant athlete in his own right and strong family pedigree - father is one of Australia’s fastest distance runners of all time. Great strong riding Shannon. Great to see you in action.
