Muddy Mondays, Ep. 13 - What goes on in the mechanic's pits in a muddy race?
The Muddy Mondays series is presented to you by SRAM and Rapha.
On this episode, we dig deep into what goes on in the mechanic's pits of muddy cyclocross races. We sit down with professional mechanics David, as well as Chris McGovern and Charlie Backus from the Steve Tilford Foundation team to discuss everything from: How do they communicate with riders during a race? Why they team up together? Do they have to fight for the pressure washer? Is there a hierarchy? What are the best strategies? And much more.
Plus, we talk about the GP Sven Nys in Baal, and here snippets from the Canadian Holmgren sisters who won their first race in Belgium, some fans who choose to spend their new year in the mud, superstar sprinter Lorena Wiebes on why she's racing cyclocross, and more.
