How Tough is B Grade Racing at Landsdowne Park?
Follow me as I dive headfirst into the world of crit racing at Lansdowne Park! This was a Cat 2 (B Grade) race on a punchy, undulating course with a few twists and turns, so I knew it wasn't going to be an easy 45 minutes.
My friend Charlie says "white knicks win races," and with Tadej Pogačar as proof, maybe he's right! As I'm trying to learn more about race craft, I decided to try a different strategy for this one: sitting in and saving my legs (Attempted). The plan was to let someone get a breakaway and latch on, but unfortunately, the bunch had other ideas. We couldn't get a break to stick, which left one big question: with no break, can you still podium? This race was an interesting one, it was punchy at times, but also felt quite slow at other moments, not what I'm typically used to with racing.
This video showcases everything from riding out to the race and signing up to the race itself. It was a tough, tactical race, and a huge learning experience. This is my journey into the racing scene, and I hope it helps you with your own race craft.
So do white knicks win races?
Hope you enjoy the video!
