EN Bicross is a dynamic, explosive sport where seconds, strength and technique decide. At first glance, it may seem that track cycling is a completely different discipline. But it follows from my experience that training on the track can be very beneficial for bi-cross racers - even for the youngest ones.

Development of basic endurance Although the bicross race lasts a short time, the competitor completes several rides during the day. Without sufficient endurance, fatigue, worse reactions and loss of strength come. Track training helps build a solid endurance foundation that enables a rider to perform consistently throughout the day, not just in one ride. Strength endurance - an important basis of performance Riding a fixed gear on a velodrome naturally develops power endurance. The rider learns to push the pedals for a longer time, maintain pressure and control over the bike. This can be seen in bicross, for example, when exiting corners, on waves or at the end of the track, when the power is already running out. Power development without unnecessary complexity Track training naturally develops lower extremity strength without the need for complex equipment or constant technical solutions. The simple environment allows you to focus purely on performance, pace and working with your own body. This is ideal especially for younger racers. Circular pedaling and movement efficiency One of the great benefits of track cycling is working on pedaling technique. The fixed transmission forces the rider to pedal smoothly, without "dead spots". This improves circular pedaling, power transfer efficiency and overall control over the bike. The rider transfers these habits to bicross, where he can make better use of each shot. In conclusion Track cycling is not a substitute for bicross, but a great addition. It helps develop endurance, strength, pedaling technique and overall cycling fitness. From my own experience, I can say that bicross racers who regularly include training on the track are stronger and better prepared for repeated performances.
