ThunderCrit 3

Now in it's third year, ThunderCrit has grown massively since the first edition back in 2016 along with the sport of Fixed Gear Crit racing. Attracting men and women from across the world to race at the iconic Lee Valley VeloPark, home of the Olympic Velodrome. Riders will battle it out through qualification rounds before the cream of the crop go elbow to elbow in the finals.

Whether you're a seasoned crit athlete or a rookie racer we've got something for you with major and minor finals for men and women. Take home the glory or get some much needed race experience under your belt.

This year will see us finish under the floodlights as we race into the evening for the first time to find our ThunderCrit champions for 2018. Tickets go on sale on 26th March

There's a ton of prizes to win across A and B categories with the top prizes in the A Finals for both men and women being a pair of custom Spin On These Fat Boy wheels (road or track), a Limited Edition Standert Kreissäge road frame, Bell Helmet, Hiplok and Altura winners jersey (a package worth over £2000).

As long as you aren't Jeremy Santucci...(he famously borrowed this crit bike from a friend).

I remember that. But no, I’m not that pathetic

Special fixed (brakeless) only sessions at the London Velopark have been organised for racers to familiarise themselves with the course, train and dial-in gearing.

These cost the same as normal session and are from 7-9PM tomorrow and the 21st.

^ That's tonight, looks like a lovely evening.

Session was amazing and coached by Alec Briggs.

We are back next Monday, same time.

This Saturday. I’ve not done much updating on here, but race entries are closed and it’s looking tasty. Some excellent racers are coming and it’s free to spectate.

So come and watch some high quality racing in the sun (🤞) with some beer or other beverage of choice.

Qualifiers start at 2pm. Finals from 5pm(ish)

UK's premier fixed crit.
No RHC this year so prepare for some serious action at the NLTCBMBC event.

There is a pre and after party too - sweet!

No RHC hey - is that confirmed? I'll be racing Saturday, do we get a few practice laps or?

Yes absolutely.

As well as an open course after sign-in (so be early) there is a neutral lap each qualifying heat.

Neutralised laps are a terrible terrible idea as anyone who raced nocturne last year will agree.

is this TODAY at the olympic velopark in stratford starting at 1pm ?
will there be some great racing, tunes, lots of fun and interesting people and a great afterparty ?

I think it might be...

oh great news
i'll definitely be going along to the olympic velopark for some top quality crit racing TODAY then

But is it TODAY?

I think it is

Spotted you lurking +Howard
Got plenty of pictures which I’ll go through tomorrow including several of our forum people

I was there but I didn't see anybody I know personally from forum. Just mates which are less involved here
