Tommy Nankervis (Pro Cycling Stats: https://goo.gl/KWrNjh) is a legend of Melbourne's illustrious criterium scene. In fact, two seasons ago he won 25 A Grade criteriums in one season. An incredible feat. 

In this video, I quiz Tommy about criterium training and preparation for the upcoming Melbourne crit season. As my goal is to win an A Grade criterium before the end of the year, I have been eager to hear the wisdom and insights from Tommy Nankervis for some time. This is all about getting thoroughly prepared and firing for St Kilda, Glenvale and Sandown criteriums. 

Tommy discusses using Melbourne's well-renowned Hell Ride  - a weekly bunch ride - as a training tool, in addition to some long 4-5 hour base training rides. On top of the Hell Ride, Tommy also suggests going to track nights at CCCC on Thursday to hone in my criterium racing tactics.
