I feel we actually got a better view of race strategy from this perspective where Jeff _isn't_ the designated sprinter. This was so exciting to watch.

EJ has already done mountain bike racing and has years of experience mountain biking and cycling. The C2C series is great but I think it would be even better, and more relatable, if they were honest and open about his cycling history.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the reply and apologies for how my comments might be coming across. I've really enjoyed both C2C series so far and have been watching your videos since 2015 but I have to admit it was disappointing to find out way more about EJ's cycling history from the comments section and a Jesse Coyle video than from all the videos in this series. On his strava, EJ mentions racing mountain bikes in high school and has a 4+ hour ride from 2016 and a lot of road cycling before 'beginning' in 2022. I don't think any of that takes away from his journey, joy of cycling, and progression so far, but not talking about any parts of that history does seem misleading to a lot of your audience, whether intentional or not. I think a more transparent and honest representation of his cycling and athletic history would be more inspiring and helpful to many people viewing these videos. Thanks for all the fun videos over the years.

I know this is more a random coincidence (with EJ doing two races plus Jeff doing his usual) than a planned thing, but it was actually incredibly informative and helpful to see the same course on the same day at three different levels of racing. The difference was surprisingly visible even to me who knows basically nothing about crit strategy etc...

This was awesome to see how your able to race and think at the same time. How do you know, cause I struggle with this, especially with race brain, what lap your on or what’s on your head unit? Maybe I’m too knew to the race aspect but I always get the laps wrong. I see lap 1 and think it’s the last lap and go all out then I’m crossing the line with 1 more lap to go, games over for me at that point. Is there something on your head unit that you use like in the video where it’s measuring the meters left in the race or are you just that savy about this stuff?

you have great team, there was no way anybody could steal the win from you guys, you were too strong and too well organised, when 4 of you took the lead at 5km to go - the race was already over for the others. Of course - it still required very hard and smart work from you to bring the win to the line, but I don't think there was much belief in your rivals at that moment XD
