Starts. We all know that the sprint in cyclocross is at the beginning of the race rather than the end. So how important is the start? In #SVENNESS No. 5 we look at a few of the top pros to gauge their start, first lap position, and finish. Where do you need to be to have a chance at winning? And how important is the hole shot?
We try and figure it out in #SVENNESS No. 5.
