Welcome to Göteborg CX Sweden!
And so it is the night before CX Cupen for 2013/14 and probably everyone is eating special food, studying every curve in the bankarta and planning when they will make that attack over last year's main competitor. Isn't it great? Cross is back again!
I can tell you that we have worked hard on the track and it is in superb shape. Actually we have never had it so dry and the grip in the corners is massive. It will certainly make for some speedway turns. I have been over most of the forest part with my rake and I know every part that is going to be fun once a few riders have been through. And most of the best riders in the country were already there tjuvträning. Darvell & co were very interested in our banked curve and kept trying different lines to see how it went. There is an inside and an outside track and there is a trick to it. A hint would be to think that this sport is called cross. We have this right next to Sven's stairway so all the action will be here on Saturday.
In terms of my own top form it is worse than ever. Every muscle in my body is dead from all the work and I suspect many leaves will be back again tomorrow morning so I will have to repeat. But we will all be there so it should go quickly and I think I have done more than enough.
CC Lasse and Björn have put together a wonderful track so come and watch or race. Missing this would be worse than missing CykelVasan...
