Is Road Racing Dead?- Rider Support

Is road racing dead? This week, Anthony dives into the decline of traditional road racing—not just in Ireland, but across the UK and US too. We talk about what’s changing, why gravel and fondos are booming, and whether road racing can bounce back. Plus, it’s race season, and we’re helping first-timers get dialed: from pre-race routines and what to pack, to warm-ups, nutrition, and how to avoid rookie mistakes. We also cover crit etiquette for stronger riders, sprinting out of corners (is there actually a benefit?), and why freewheeling on the front is a massive no-no. Whether you’re lining up for your first race or wondering what’s next for the sport, this episode is packed with insight, tips, and a few hard truths from inside the bunch.
