Learn what to do when your attacks don’t stick as TrainerRoad’s Amber Pierce and Pete Morris analyze Producer Tucker’s 4/5 crit race from the 2020 Folsom Winter Criterium. Check it out for these tips and more:

  • In lower categories, try a little bit of everything to learn more about your strengths AND weaknesses. That way you can really see what type of cyclist you are.
  • Counter-attacking after the surge for prime lap can be a great way to capitalize on an opportunity and get a gap from the field.
  • Finding the “sweet spot” of the draft when positioning yourself in the peloton can save a lot of energy while also allowing you to keep an eye on what is happening at the front of the race.
  • Not every race goes to plan. So be ready to adapt to a changing situation. Being patient and only using your energy when you need will help you have the legs when it comes time to work hard.
