Gone are the days of great pedalers who were able to make a difference uphill and then defend themselves downhill: now the modern cross countrista is first of all a tightrope walker of the bike and, techniques such as jumping and manual, are no longer left to second. floor.
Here is a video from Christopher Blevins we posted on our page instagram:
We recall that Blevins had an eye for road cycling at the beginning of his career, even if he had the greatest results in cyclocross and mtb, where he came close to the U23 XC world title several times. He is very strong in short races and was selected to represent America at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Now, thanks to Specialized, he will seek the leap in quality by specializing in cross country to become one of the team's star athletes.
