Tim Johnson (Cannondale / Cyclocrossworld.com) is a regular feature here on theroaddiaries during the cross season and we had the good fortune catch up with the SRAM RED, Zipp 303 wheels, bars, stem, seatpost, and Avid Shorty Ultimate brake rider at day 2 of the Planet Bike Cup, which is the first leg of the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross (USGP). TJ spoke about the day and the season, and his prediction (see video below). We will follow him throughout the season, we plan to include some cool instructional video of him going over barriers as well as laps behind him at near race speed, you can watch one of the best cross riders in the U.S. pick his lines, set up for turns, and manage run-ups.
