When the rule was in effect, we had riders like Greg Lemond and Lance Armstrong coming up. They learned spin to win. For those of you that have never seen a roll out, you will this year. We will set it up at each race and your junior will have to pass the roll out before and after each race. We probably will only test the top three finishers after each race, however, all will be tested before the race.
Blocked gears are legal at all races except Nationals.
I would advice all juniors to even train with the gears that are legal. I wish I could explain the ranking system that the USCF has come up with, but I flunked out of calculus. I am serious about how difficult it is to understand. The points are awarded differently at each race - putting more importance on State and National Championships. At some point in the future, this will be how they pick exactly who gets to go to Nationals.
