CX Cupen taktik à la Chris Cross
Well, my hopes of another GöteborgsSuperprestige on Thursday are long gone since those involved in that grant with the deadline Thursday at midnight are in no hurry. So that pisses me off.
But now that Falun is open for anmälan it is high time to discuss CX Cupen strategies. I know most probably have secret plans for equipment or have been training cross all year. My strategy is a bit different. Only 9 races will be included so we don't have to do every race. Assuming that I will finish pretty much last in Superklass as usual, I need to find a way to get the most points I can.
Taktik #1: Choose races no one else will choose.
This unfortunately means no Sthlm which is one of the few races I have people to battle with. But with over 60 starting there were no points left for me. Last year I got most points in Ludvika, Söderköping and Södra Sandby.
Taktik #2: Choose races where people are most likely to DNF.
This is harder to predict because it depends on the weather. Lidköping was a DNF for me and many others and Kumla is just tough overall so people could give up.
Taktik #3: Choose every race.
I would if I had my car and a wad of cash.
Which races will you choose?
