Ep 73: #Crossiscoming Part 4
In The Red with Curtis White
In the final episode of our preseason training series, Curtis dials up the intensity for your next cross practice. He suggests 5 minute “mock races” with your group, along with even shorter 90 second races, creating a high intensity environment that will help with your starts. These drills, mixed with staggered start drills of 5-10 second intervals will have you working under pressure, focusing on holding the wheel in front of you at race pace. Curtis also reminds us to keep it fun, always adding an element of play, with drills like “foot down” and “dual slalom racing.”...

Ep 66: Niels Vandeputte
In The Red with Curtis White
Two bigs wins capped a season of accomplishments for Niels Vandeputte of Alpecin Deceuninck.

This is the story of a true cross racer. @curtisjwhite @niels_vandeputte

After 12 World Championship preparations and 11 starts, we look back at 2023/2024 and discuss the best off season format for a cyclocross racer - should a crosser be focused on gravel, road, crit, mtb? Curtis has done it all: where does he get his best results? As part of that analysis, we take a look a the French National Team for some additional insight. (see link below).

Ep 64: World Championship Preview 2024
In The Red with Curtis White
All the work is done, and it's time to see where Curtis stands among the best in the world. In less than one week, he takes the startline at the World Championship for the 11th time in his career. His approach has been a bit different, only racing a short three-race block in Europe (as opposed to his traditional heavy 10-12 race schedule during the legendary Kerstperiode). The night before he flies to Prague, we reflect on his preparation, his performance at World Cup Hoogerheide, and preview Sunday's World Championship race. @curtisjwhite
info_outlineLots of good stuff in this episode as Curtis and Tony discuss Really Rad, the USCX, and Pan Ams. Loaded with insights on each event, but recorded BEFORE the announcement that GCN will be closing GCN+ (more on that in the next ep). In the meantime, dive into Curtis's thoughts on winning a second USCX title, a disappointing Pan Ams performance, and a little Yogi to round it out.
