Cross Technique

[J.Greene]

In my two cross races I have spent most of the time on the hoods. At my speed the aero thing is not that big of a deal. The fast guys ride the drops a lot more than I. Is that to put a little more weight on the front wheel for handling? I fell like I make more power upright.

Those levers are also positioned particularly high up on the bars. "They
never go on the drops anymore," said Hatfield. "It's all on the tops and
on the hoods; that's where they get most of their power from. Not many
of the top riders get [down there] anymore atmo".

I climb on the hoods, but like the drops for when it gets sketchy, or if I'm going down a steep hill.
