Criterium Master Class The October Crit Masterclass now almost full and it's time to get ready for the big one. The November Masterclass will cover Race Strategy and Tactics. This one is a great session and loads of fun as it includes a whole stack of mini 2-3 lap races. Details for the session are below or available through the website. NOTE: I expect this one to fill up relatively quickly and I would like to give priority to my riders if possible.

Session information The Race Tactics Masterclass session is designed as a combined skills and race simulation session and is suitable for any one who wants to improve their race results through a better understanding of race tactics.
The session will include a large number of mini races to provide the opportunity to learn and practise a variety of race tactics.
