With the National Championship weekend only 10 days away, many riders are going to great measures to have the best shot of the National Title.
With the Belgian Championships being hosted in the iconic dunes of Koksijde, it’s no surprise the Belgians are looking for their file treads, whilst most of us other racers, their extreme Mud tubulars – two complete different ends of the spectrum!
European U23 Champion Eli Iserbyt posted this photo earlier on Instagram, of what looks to be a 33mm Road Tread! This looks similar to the current Dune offering from Challenge, but with an even smaller tread pattern, missing the smaller side knobs. Only on a course such as Koksijde is a tyre like this needed, with riders looking for the smoothest way through the deep sand…

We’ve recently seen Wout Van Aert using some interesting custom tubular setups – it will be interested to see what he opts for next weekend. To read our chat with Wout’s tyre producer Dugast about his custom treads click here
