Wait up, #Japandler
You saw Christian Heule pre-riding Koksijde behind Sven Nys.
Now you get to see him pre-riding Cyclocross Tokyo behind me…notice how natural I look in the Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld Pro kit. I could get used to wearing those colors…hopefully Team Director, Stu Thorne, will take notice.
If you’re looking for some analysis on this course, here goes:
The stuff in the woods was some of the most fun I’ve had on a cyclocross bike. It was like riding through a dark jungle, with loose needles and leaves over soft, loose dirt.
As for the sand, we skipped the first half that was completely un-rideable for me. After riding the second half of the sand, I was barely able to climb the steps and remount. Pedaling the start/finish stretch was not an option.
That was one lap, and I think the Pro race was 11 or more laps.
