Haven’t watched this video yet but always cool hearing more about the Williams brothers and legion and what they’re doing for the sport. ---

To a Boomer getting behind in his slang, this expression didn’t sound positive. However, the American Heritage Dictionary via DuckDuckGo says I can agree. ---

Very cool, nothing like them near me, very few teams even! Wonder if they have “fan” kit. ---

I know next to nothing about the American race or grit scene but I do like this chap. He seems to have a fair amount to say but from what I can see via the internet, he and his team have the talent, contacts and passion to back it all up. Particularly like something he said during the interview @ellotheth linked to. _‘People seem to think that I’m just good, like I was born lucky. No, I had to do three crits a week since the age of 14 to get good.’_ ---

Also forgot to link this if no one has listened to it. Payson Mcelveen’s podcast with Justin Williams was really good. They were at a training camp with Colin Strickland (2019 DK Winner) and Kate Courtney (2018 XCO MTB World Champ) so those two also jump in. > **[‎The Adventure Stache: Justin Williams, road cyclist (with Colin Strickland...](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-adventure-stache/id1459162520?i=1000465364905)** > > ‎Show The Adventure Stache, Ep Justin Williams, road cyclist (with Colin Strickland and Kate Courtney) - Feb 11, 2020 ---

Well worth the listen. Probably my favorite podcast Payson has done so far. ---

> [@PusherMan](#): > > People seem to think that I’m just good, like I was born lucky. No, I had to do three crits a week since the age of 14 to get good. YES, I love this framing. No substitute for hard work and practice, even when your genetic ceiling is up in the stratosphere (though golly that must be nice). ---

Its really impressive that when the Legion wins, Speciaized give them a bike to give away to a junior. Good for the team, brand and upcoming juniors. ---

Even more impressive is their sponsorship structure. Williams the Elder said from the start of the CNCPT team that they weren’t going to chase after sponsors; they were just going to race & be a team in their own special way and let the sponsors come to them. One Specialized-Rapha-Shimano combo later… ---
