#4 DETAILS MATTER - COURSE PRACTICE

#4 DETAILS MATTER - COURSE PRACTICE

There are a lot of subjects I take care of during course practice. The speed is so high and the race time short that the details make the difference.?

The first thing I do is checking the obstacles and building up the speed there. Then I’m looking for the fastest lines which I will ride in qualification. Race specific I also check possibilities to pass. This can be on obstacles, at physical parts or in corners. At the same time, I also check where others can pass me and how I can counter. In the end it is my goal to combine these technics, tactics and physics to create?a ‘course flow’.?

Curious what that flow brought me in qualification? You read it in tomorrow’s post.
