I am going to Belgium in the Summer and was wondering how I can find youth races to ride in Belgium. Is there a website like BC? or do I just have to find out when I get there? :?: :?: :?:

Secondly what kind of form do i need to be in to not just get punted out the back straight away? Thanks again man

If you're out there long enough, it builds form and confidence, I found over there due to sheer volume of riders, if you're not top 10 in pack you have to slow a lot into the corners then sprint out, a lot of 90 degree corners, just got to get used to sprinting back up to top speed, don't get intimidated and use your head. A lot of Belgians chase everything and if you wait a few seconds longer you can get a free tow back to the move. Pay attention as a big move doesn't go its 1-3 riders, but lots of them and suddenly there are 20 riders up the road and you didn't even notice. Always sprint for finish as top 30/40 depending on race = Prize money!0

Whats the prize money like, tho i doubt ill be on the recieving end0

Depends on size of race, but basically If you get top 40 you'll race for free, then top 20 probably 3/5 euro up, didn't manage to crack further than 17th so not sure beyond that!0

i'm not sure racing more than twice a week at your age is beneficial, the rule is there for a reason, to stop you racing too much and burning out0
