Unbound Gravel 2024 - Elite Mens Raw Highlights

Показать описание

THE BIG ONE! Here are my raw highlights clips from the 2024 Unbound Elite Mens 200 mile gravel race! The only way I can describe it would be what I imagine a race like Paris Roubaix would be. The course recon and battle for postion into each "Chunky Sector" was arguably more important than going through the sectors themselves.

I was having an amazing ride, mostly in all the right places at the right times and still feeling fresh coming into "little egypt" around mile 100. Disaster struck with an ill timed flat half way through this section, and I chased hard the remainder of the day to come in 29th out of the 120 riders in the mens elite field!

Man, this gives such a good perspective of how competitive this is. Some spots it seemed like you were the ball in a pinball game. A lot of bar banging going on. Thanks for the video, Joe! Great race!

I always envy these pros who can make a million decisions before the race and still have enough care to add a camera for others to enjoy. Amazing.

This first-person footage makes me glad I don't have the biomechanical skills to cycle at this level. I'm not nearly brave enough. Fantastic effort and congratulations. Pit crews are the best.

Joe finished only 20' down on winner, in a group with Freddy Ovett, Ted King, & Jan Bakelants; 15' ahead Adam Roberge, Petr Vakoc, Thomas Dekker, Daniel Oss, Lauren Ten Dam, & Nikki Terpstra; 24' up on Ian Boswell, Sean Fincham, & Andrew Dillman. Hot Damn!

This footage is insane! Literally rubbing elbows and racing against the world champ! Amazing race Joe. 💪

Great effort, amazing footage and thank you for leaving the original sound and not adding horrible music.

I look at the shaking arms to get perspective as to how rocky it is. Well done!

eduardochozas

Impossible to find the right words to describe this amazing footage, you guys are half human half god! Thank you so much for sharing!

bobzuidema

You guys are nuts. I rode those sections alone and they were sketchy. Top 30 in that field is a great result, nice job

josefat

Wow! The start feels like a So Cal Criterium race! Nice positioning throughout Joe. You are a true Warrior!

briansmallwood

dude! keep doing the vids! you can actually feel the ruthless speed and tenacity emanating from from this front group!

brucemann

Thanks for the fast upload, Joe. YT algos gonna reward you 🙃
There were a handful of aggressive movements on that pack that could easily end up on half of the field down. It's quite shocking to see this early sketchiness on a +320 kms race when there's still a looot to unfold. I guess this is the game now with the professionalisation of the sport...
