For the second episode of LIKEAVOS we travel to the North Sea coast town of Koksijde in West Flanders, Belgium, for the second round of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup. Koksijde is a sandy monument of cyclocross with much of the course going up, over and down challenging sand dunes. To win you must have a combination of strong sand riding skills, strong running ability and a bit of luck. We focus on race strategy and the importance of momentum.

To support LIKEAVOS, please pick up a copy of Skills Drills and Bellyaches: A Cyclocross Primer, available atcyclocrossbook.com.
