Not sure about the rest of you but Iâm getting a serious case of BLAST Fever. Symptoms include sleepless nights spent re-living past races, thinking about bike set up, pre race diet, powerfood, tyre choice and pressures (nearly resolved), line choice, start strategy, past results, protecting stanchions on the uplifts, optimal seat height on the gravity dropper, jump or chicken run, M520s or DX, weather protection, bug protection, white or black crud catcher, the list goes on. All the above contravenes the âTurn up and put the hammer downâ mood of the Blast but if youâve raced a few of these I think you will understand.
I canât bloody wait.
